Virat Kohli’s Old Message to Anushka Sharma’s Trolls is Going Viral Post Sunil Gavaskar’s IPL Comment

In his post, he also mentioned that Anushka motivates him and gives him more positivity. Saying that this message was ‘long time coming’, he added that all those who hide behind and take a dig at her should be ashamed. He said he is not asking them to respect him, but to have compassion and respect for her, asking how they’d feel if their girlfriends were publicly shamed and trolled like this.

Anushka’s name being dragged for Kohli’s poor performances is not new. From 2015 ODI world cup, to IPL performances – every time Kohli’s performance falters, people are quick to blame Anushka. This trend was unforeseen in cricket as rarely, if ever, any cricketer’s wife has been publicly blamed for their husband’s poor performance.

However, during 2016, the ridicule must have surpassed the threshold which Kohli could tolerate and he lashed at those insulting his ladylove. Four years from then, Anushka is yet again a part of conversations regarding his athletic skills.
