Virat Kohli fans are known for their passion, but this time, their frustration took an unexpected turn. After India’s star batter, Virat Kohli, was dismissed in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match against New Zealand, his fans erupted in anger. The cause of their rage? A breathtaking catch by New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips. However, in their rush to express their fury, many fans ended up attacking the wrong target.
Instead of spamming Glenn Phillips’ Instagram, angry fans mistakenly flooded the official Instagram account of Philips, the home appliance brand famous for making trimmers, air fryers, and light bulbs. The comment section of Philips’ page was soon filled with angry messages meant for the Kiwi cricketer.

The situation became even funnier when people realized the irony—Virat Kohli is a brand ambassador for Philips beard trimmers! That means his own fans were trolling a company that he officially represents. It didn’t take long for screenshots of the misplaced outrage to go viral on social media, with users making jokes about how Kohli fans had turned their anger toward an electronics brand instead of the right person.
Kohli’s dismissal was a big moment in the match. India had chosen to bat first but suffered early setbacks, with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Kohli all getting out cheaply. The frustration among Indian fans was understandable, but their mistake made the situation even more amusing for neutral spectators.
This is not the first time passionate cricket fans have gone overboard. Social media has become a place where emotions run high, and sometimes, they lead to hilarious blunders like this one. It serves as a reminder that before launching an online attack, it’s always a good idea to double-check if you’ve got the right person.
