Ace India cricketer Virat Kohli, who recently found his long-lost form in white-ball formats, on Tuesday (7) expressed sadness over losing his brand new mobile phone.
Tweeting about it, the batter said that the device was lost even before it was unboxed. He also asked whether anyone saw the phone.
“Nothing beats the sad feeling of losing your new phone without even unboxing it. Has anyone seen it?” Kohli wrote.

The tweet saw reactions pouring in and among them, perhaps the most witty one came from restaurant aggregator and food-delivery platform Zomato. In fact, the company offered the cricketer a solution by asking him to order some ice cream from the phone of his actor-producer wife Anushka Sharma to boost his mood.
“Feel free to order ice cream from bhabhi’s phone if that will help,” Zomato tweeted.

Netizens enjoyed the exchange and they came up with their own humorous take.
One said Kohli’s current mobile phone was still in use and what was the need to disturb his wife?
Existing mobile chalu hai bhai kaa…bhabhi ko kyu pareshaan karna hai?

Another one took a dig at Kohli by telling Zomato that while the “poor man” was ruing the loss of his phone, the company was more interested in its own business interest.

Another simply called it “Next level marketing”.
