Virat Kohli-led team India is enjoying a dream run in Sri Lanka. Team India first whitewashed the hosts in Tests and then repeated the same in One Day Internationals. A few months back there was a split in the Indian cricket team as Virat Kohli had reservations about the then coach of the Indian cricket team, Anil Kumble, and hence Kumble had to step down from that portfolio. Ravi Shastri, with Kohli’s backing, was brought on board for the Indian cricket team and the results have been phenomenal (*knocks-the-wood*). Despite the Indian Team being in the best shape, fans are yet to get over an episode, which was quite noticeable on Teacher’s Day, i.e. 5th of September.
PV Sindhu made a comment on her coach Pulella Gopichand about him being a tough task master but Sindhu has always had that respect for her coach. This was highlighted when Sindhu turned producer to make a film on her coach.
Looking at this bonding between the two shuttlers, Twitter started making comparisons of the chemistry between PV Sindhu and Gopichand to that of Kumble and Virat. It seems the Indian cricket fans did not like how the Kumble episode was handled and hence they vented their anger on the current Indian captain Virat Kohli on Twitter and bashed him, to say the least.
Here is the highly talked about ‘I hate my teacher’ video:
This is what Virat Kohli tweeted on Teachers Day.

It seems the fans are still pained by Virat Kohli’s treatment of Anil Kumble, who has proven himself to be a legend!
