Virat Kohli in trouble after ‘leave India’ comment
Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli has got himself engulfed in a controversy after he blasted a cricket fan who said that he preferred English and Australian batsmen over Indian players.
In a video, Kohli is seen reading out a message from a cricket fan who described him as an "over rated batsman". The fan wrote that he enjoyed watching batsmen from English and Australian teams rather than the current Indian team.
"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," said Kohli while responding to the fan during the launch of his mobile app.
The Indian skipper added that the fan should get his "priorities right.”
