Stuart Broad responded to it in a cheeky fashion. Broad simply wrote "IPL?", implying to Kohli's 17-year trophy drought.
Barbados: It would be a special occasion when Virat Kohli walks out to take strike today against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final versus South Africa at Barbados. This could very well be Kohli’s last outing at a World Cup. While that cannot be confirmed, the ICC came up with a post on Kohli on the eve of the summit clash.
The caption read: “The last jewel remains missing from the crown of the king. Virat Kohli is one step away from #T20WorldCup glory.”
After this post went viral, former English pacer Stuart Broad responded to it in a cheeky fashion. Broad simply wrote “IPL?”, implying to Kohli’s 17-year trophy drought in the cash-rich league, but later deleted the post.

Kohli has been woefully out-of-form in the ongoing T20 WC. In seven outings, Kohli does not have a 50+ score which is way below his normal standards.
Kohli would hope he comes up with the goods in the grand finale in Barbados.

India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal
