After Glenn Phillips of New Zealand made a spectacular catch to dismiss the top Indian cricketer during the IND vs NZ ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match on March 2, Virat Kohli followers flooded the Instagram post of the electronics company 'Philips' thinking the account belonged to the New Zealand player. Virat Kohli's stint at the crease was cut short by just 11 runs thanks to a spectacular one-handed catch by Glenn Phillips. The Indian cricketers' supporters then commented on the catch on the Dutch company's Instagram account. On social media, a few more fans posted images of the Instagram comments.
Kohli fans slam wrong 'Philips'
Following an outstanding undefeated century against Pakistan, the 36-year-old was expected to perform once more, especially in his 300th one-day international encounter. However, the Indian batters relied on the middle order to score the majority of their runs as Kohli failed to perform against the BlackCaps.
In the comment areas of social media sites like Instagram, fans vented their annoyance by pointing the finger at the incorrect Philips. The electronics company Philips' official account was flooded by many comments.
The Philips electronic company's social media team was both confused and amused by the deluge of angry followers' comments and messages on their Instagram page. The Indian squad was left reeling when Glenn Phillips' lightning-fast reactions allowed him to dive to his right and take the catch after Virat Kohli tried to cut a delivery from Matt Henry.
Shreyas Iyer, who came in at number four, stabilized the innings with a crucial half-century despite the top-order collapse. However, Will O'Rourke eventually got rid of him in the 37th over, preventing him from reaching a triple-figure score.
India concluded their innings with 249 runs at a cost of 9 wickets in their 50 overs. India achieved a respectable score under challenging circumstances because of some late heroics from Hardik Pandya with the bat.
