Troll who got under the skin of Virat Kohli in 2011 ‘finally' suspended on X: ‘Thought Indian Courts were slow'
After nearly 14 years of trolling and taunting Virat Kohli online, the X account of a user he once publicly warned has finally been suspended — and Kohli fans are having a field day.
It all began back in 2011, during the Twitter days, when Kohli called out the user, who went by the handle @Ishaan3, for allegedly using abusive language against him. 'Your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language(sic),' Kohli posted at the time.
@ishaan3 your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language.

But @Ishaan3 didn't just stop there. Over the years, it has made it a personal mission to poke fun at the Indian cricketer, regularly bragging that despite Kohli's warning, the account was still active. 'Still I am on Twitter bro… 5… paanch saal ho gaye,' he gloated in 2016. Four years later, he followed up with, '10 saal hogaye Kohli bhai.'
Now, in a twist that's being celebrated across X, @Ishaan3 has finally been suspended. Screenshots of the suspended profile started surfacing midweek, though it's unclear exactly when the platform pulled the plug.

The reaction from Kohli's fans? Pure entertainment.
One wrote, 'Twitter account suspended after 11 years >>>> IPL win after 18 years,' while another joked, 'The moral of the story is 'Virat bhai will take time but the work will be done'.' Someone else quipped, 'Probably they were waiting for RCB to win,' while another chimed in, 'And I thought Indian Courts were slow.'
The long-running drama may be over, but the memes have just begun.
