Virat Kohli's much-anticipated return to domestic cricket after 12 years did not go as planned, as he scored only six runs for Delhi against Railways in the first innings of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25.  

The Arun Jaitley Stadium had seen an incredible attendance, with many waiting up since the early hours to see the Indian batting legend in action. However, their jubilation was short-lived as Kohli was clean-bowled by bowler Himanshu Sangwan, leaving the full stadium dumbfounded.

The dismissal not only demoralized the crowd but also resulted in a major evacuation from the stadium, with many spectators fleeing even before Kohli entered the pavilion.

After dismissing Kohli for a low score, Himanshu Sangwan celebrated aggressively, and the video of his charged-up celebration went viral on the internet.

However, the reaction on social media following Kohli's departure turned ugly, with irate fans bombarding Himanshu Sangwan with insults on Instagram. The criticism, however, was misguided.

Because the Railways pacer had kept his Instagram account secret before the match, enraged fans turned their attention to an unrelated person with the same name. The unwary guy, who had no link to cricket, was subjected to persistent trolling.

Here are some posts:

The other Himanshu Sangwan had to take to social media and tell the enraged Virat Kohli fans to cool down and remind them that he was not the Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan they were looking for.

Not only this, but Delhi pacer Pradeep Sangwan was also at the receiving end of abuses and trolls, possibly due to both, Himanshu and Pradeep sharing the same surname.
