The Rock is one of the biggest celebrities in the world at the moment. His wrestling and Hollywood career have paved the way for his rise to superstardom. But his craze is not only restricted to the WWE Universe.

The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment is pretty popular among the cricketers as well. During the ongoing first Test match between India and South Africa, Indian skipper Virat Kohli uttered The Rock’s iconic catchphrase in WWE.

On Day 3 of the test match, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah had to leave the field after twisting his ankle. But after receiving treatment, he entered the field once again.

Following Bumrah’s return, the Indian skipper looked delighted and greeted him with The Rock’s iconic catchphrase, “Finally, The Rock has come back.” Kohli’s words got caught on the stump mic and later went viral on Twitter.

Virat Kohli’s reactions and facial expressions on the field have made some of the funniest cricket memes. And this will go right at the top of that list.

But this is not the first time that the Indian Cricketers have referred to The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment.

Also, back in 2017, Triple H gifted Mumbai Indians a customized WWE Championship belt. Mumbai Indians are a franchise cricket team that competes in the Indian Premier League.
