Surely, no one was surprised when Indian skipper Virat Kohli lost the toss of Kane Williamson at the start of the World Test Championship (WTC) final. After Day 1 was called off due to rain at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, ay 2 started the game on time. Williamson took advantage of the situation and opted to bowl first.
Soon after Kohli lost the toss - yet again - netizens took to Twitter and sparked a meme feast.

This is also Virat Kohli's 61st Test match as Indian captain and no one has led India in more.
The 'Rain Gods' decided to pay a visit and soon the news of the toss being delayed was out. While fans still waited, it was later decided that Day 1 was called off due to rains.
The ICC WTC final was initially supposed to be held at Lords, but due to COVID-19 issues and bio-bubble facilities, the game shifted to Southampton. However, the weather does not look quite good.
The game does have a reserve day on June 23 but in case of a no-result, the Test Championship will be shared.
