Anushka Sharma has been constantly trolled due to her association with Virat Kohli. Cricket fanatics have gone as far as to blame her for Virat’s poor performances on the cricket field, calling her a distraction, especially during the ICC World Cup 2015.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are no longer a couple, but that hasn’t silenced the trolls.
After giving an amazing performance in the India vs Australia T20 match on Sunday, DNA ran a story to “praise” Virat, wondering whether Anushka will message to congratulate him.
This was just the start. Tweeple, as expected, labelled Anushka bad luck for Virat and Team India.
Furious with such messages, Virat took to social media to express his anger at the baseless trolls.
Sharing a picture on Instagram, he said that people should be ashamed of themselves for making fun of Anushka who has been nothing but a source of positivity for him.
He also tweeted in support of Anushka.
