5 times Indian sports stars lost their cool on social media

#1 Virat Kohli

Virat and longterm partner, actor Anushka Sharma

The skipper of the Indian team is bound to be surrounded by controversies, given the fan base that he has behind him. Moulding into one of the greatest cricketers in history, Kohli has done well to keep away from a lot of squabbles in recent times.

However, a year back, Kohli was seen expressing his antipathy at fans who seemed to enjoy commenting on the skipper's long term relationship with Bollywood superstar Anushka Sharma.

After a masterful knock of 82* from 51 deliveries, he took India to victory against Australia in the World T20 that begun a string of tweets, trolling Anushka's state of mind at that point in time.

Adamant to the comments, Kohli put across one tweet that won hearts, as he appreciated Anushka's contribution to his success and scorned the tweets that put her down.

Shame on people for trolling @AnushkaSharma non-stop. Have some compassion. She has always only given me positivity pic.twitter.com/OBIMA2EZKu
