AHMEDABAD: Indian batting star Virat Kohli was forced to leave the field during the ICC’s Men World Cup 2023 clash between India and Pakistan at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Following the toss, the two teams came out for the customary pre-match national anthems. As the hosts were passionately chanting their anthem, Viral Kohli was seen wearing a jersey different from the rest.
The other players donned India’s official World Cup 2023 jersey with the tricolor stripes while Kohli’s jersey consisted of three white stripes.
