'Virat Kohli call me!': IShowSpeed takes wicket while playing cricket, asks ICC to sign him

IShowSpeed’s chaotic ‘wicket’ goes viral as he calls out Virat Kohli and urges the ICC to sign him, blending cricket with influencer energy.

Internet sensation Darren Jason Watkins Jr.—better known as IShowSpeed—has traded his gaming chair for a cricket pitch, and the internet is loving every chaotic second of it.

In a now-viral clip, the American content creator takes a shot at bowling, delivering a strike that sends the stumps flying. While his technique might not pass muster with the MCC coaching manual, the result was undeniable. What followed was pure, unfiltered Speed energy.

"Virat Kohli, call me! ICC call me! Mumbai cricket team call me!" he shouted into the camera, doubling down with a classic, "Virat Kohli, bruh, you might need to call me."

The footage, reportedly filmed in the Caribbean, shows Speed watching a delivery before stepping up to knock down the stumps himself. When he succeeded, the celebration was as over-the-top as his fans have come to expect—part genuine excitement, part outrageous self-promotion.

It's this perfect blend of raw passion and comic exaggeration that has made the clip so shareable. Speed's emerging love for cricket, combined with his relentless attempts to connect with the Indian audience, has struck a chord with fans across the globe.

One curious detail: the streamer called out the "Mumbai cricket team" rather than Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the IPL side Virat Kohli actually plays for. It's a small slip that likely reflects his still-developing knowledge of the sport's finer points—but his mission remains clear: get Kohli's attention at any cost.

Whether the ICC or any franchise actually takes the call remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure—Speed has already won the internet.
