Virat Kohli is going to be a Bollywood superstar! #PuttingAamirKhanToShame #AnythingForAnushka

Like I said if you want players to play serious cricket.. Or take international cricket serious.. Get rid of ipl..

How could they play any kind of serious cricket when they get less paid and play against same players that are their teammates in ipl..

Team loses.. It won't make a difference to players.. They are making their money either they play international cricket or not..

hope virat learns his lesson and focus more on cricket

Oh there is a lesson to be learned here. If you're gonna get special permission for your girlfriend to stay in your room, you better perform on the field. 😆

I think fans are being way too harsh on him. He was/is focused on cricket. He's been going through a lean patch. Nothing has been working for him. Reporters would often post pics of him practicing alone in the nets hour before rest of the team. He was really working hard but its just wasn't happening. Fans seem to have zero patience as it is. And to make things worse the whole permission for Anushka story broke. Instead of supporting him, fans were busy cracking jokes about him and Anushka. I am sure seeing nasty tweets about their relationship didn't help him. It was just outta control. People should encourage him not kick him when he's down. 😡

He even had his coach Rajkumar Sharma fly to England to help him out. Rajkumar sir talked to the press from London and told them Virat is focused and has his priorities straight. He also mentioned that having Anushka around and talking to her relaxes him and he is entitled to do that.

Its ridiculous to say he was distracted by her because she was there for only 1st two test matches. After she left, he played 3 more tests (6 innings) and he still did poorly. So obviously, distraction or lack of focus was not the issue. His technique was. But the sexist folks at BCCI would rather put the blame on his pretty gf than find out the real problems. 😡

Anyways, he did good today in the practice match vs Middlesex cc. 71 runs and he was captain of the side cos Dhoni didn't play. Team India won! I hope some of his confidence is back and he can score some runs in the ODI series.
