ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 Promo Out Featuring Virat Kohli in Animated Avatar, Netizens Question 'Where Are The Others' (Watch Video)
The T20 World Cup, which was postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is all set to start from October 17 in the UAE and Oman. Earlier, Indian skipper Virat Kohli had announced that he would relinquish captaincy of the national T20 side after the tournament concludes in November.
The International Cricket Council on Monday dropped a promo for the T20 World Cup 2021 to be held in UAE and Oman. A full promo video is likely to be launched this week. The 15-second video features an animated avatar of Indian skipper Virat Kohli.
Watch the video here:

However, netizens were not quite pleased to see only Virat Kohli in the video and they questioned the absence of other players. Although it can be understood that Kohli has featured in the video since India is hosting the showpiece event, netizens questioned why players from other countries were not part of this promo.
Check out some reactions to this video, below:
Why this biased behavior?
Promo Is Good. Kohli Is Legend, But Why Only Kohli In Promo?
Their Are 16 Teams In The World Cup, U Could Have Kept Westindies As The Winner.
Why This Biased Behavior?
