Since the World Cup fever is off the charts especially with Virat Kohli's 22nd ODI century against Pakistan to extend India’s World Cup winning record against Pakistan to 6-0, a hilarious glitch in the ESPNcricinfo website, known as the ‘Eywa’ of cricketing information and statistics, has just handed a flagging team Pakistan a vital advantage.
The site has placed Virat Kohli under the Pakistan team tab. Sounds unbelievable? Believe it.
If you wish to see it yourself, search the players by name on espncricinfo, follow the link and laugh your head off.
But there is more to this seemingly early April Fool's joke. Cheeky and intrepid shot-maker AB de Villiers has also been named under the Pakistan team.
Moreover, Pakistan-born Imran Tahir has also been brought back to where he belongs. And if that was not enough, ace Proteas opener Hashim Amla has also been handed a Pakistan cap on the website.
Such firepower would surely boost chances of Pakistan against South Africa with the green shirts struggling to get a score over 250 in the tournament so far. Talk about having good luck.
Sadly, Pakistan will not be able to call on the likes of MS Dhoni, Michael Clarke and Dale Steyn, who have been listed for their native teams.
