Social media sensation and Virat Kohli's die-hard fan IshowSpeed attended India's match against Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on June 9, Sunday. Speed, who is an American YouTuber, rapper and online gamer was present at the packed stadium where close to 34000 people were in attendance to witness the epic clash. He donned the Indian jersey as he showcased his support to the men in blue with Kohli and No. 18 imprinted on the back of the jersey. His reactions from the match have gone viral as he was gutted after Kohli's dismissal and celebrated India's win with the Indian fans.
In one video, Speed was almost in tears after Kohli had a rare failure against Pakistan as he was dismissed for 4 runs, his first-ever single digit score against the neighbouring country in the T20Is. During the 2nd delivery of the 2nd over, after the match resumed after a rain-break, Kohli played an imperious shot off Naseem Shah's delivery. On the very next-to-next ball, Kohli was caught by Usman Khan as he tried to reach out to a wide outside-off delivery to slap it over point. India received an early jolt with Kohli's massive wicket.
Prior to this innings, Kohli had averaged 308 against Pakistan in the T20 World Cups. Speed could not seem to have digested Kohli departing early as he looked upset. However, he was asked to be calm by one of the Indian supporters in the stands. T20 World Cup: Full Coverage | Complete Schedule

Pakistan was restricted at 113 runs for the loss of 7 wickets as India emerged victorious for the 7th time in the last 8 outings in T20 World Cups. Speed also erupted with celebrations after the win as he enjoyed the electrifying atmosphere alongside the Indian fans.
