Don’t Live in India If You Don’t Like Our Batsmen: Kohli Tells Fan
Virat Kohli was responding to a message from a cricket fan while promoting his newly launched app.
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has courted controversy after he told a fan to not live in India if he doesn’t like Indian batsmen.
In a video that has gone viral and is available on his newly released app, Kohli was reading tweets and Instagram messages before coming across an user, who said the Indian mainstay has nothing special in his batting.
"Over-rated batsman and personally I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians," Kohli read out the tweet.
Kohli responded, "Okay, I don't think you should live in India then you should go and live somewhere else, no? Why are you living in our country and loving other countries? I don't mind you not liking me but I don't think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right."
