Chennai: India captain Virat Kohli recently faced heat on social media after his "leave India" comment. He has, however, tried his level best to make amends threafter.
“I don’t think you should live in India. You should live somewhere else. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries? I don’t mind you not liking me. I don’t think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right,” Kohli had replied to a fan who had commented that he enjoyed watching Australian and English batsmen more and that Kohli was an "overrated batsman".
I guess trolling isn't for me guys, I'll stick to getting trolled! 😁

I spoke about how "these Indians" was mentioned in the comment and that's all. I’m all for freedom of choice. 🙏 Keep it light guys and enjoy the festive season. Love and peace to all. ✌😊
