India vs England 5th Test Kennington Oval: India captain Virat Kohli recently visited the Southampton Football Clu and posed with their jersey and that has now made fans believe they may get relegated in the Premier League 2018-19. Well, there is a reason for fans to believe it. Earlier, Kohli supported Germany and they lost in the first round of the FIFA World Cup 2018.
He then supported Argentina and they too lost. The same was the case with Spain, who did not have a good run at the WC in Russia, whereas a lot was expected from all the three teams.
It was great to welcome @imVkohli and @BCCI to Southampton last week! #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/6apz5IpQus

Hence, fans are right to some extent when they say Southampton FC could get relegated.
Here is how Twitterati reacted.
He supported Germany, they went out in the group stage. He supported Argentina, they lost in quarters. He supported Spain, they too lost in the quarters.
I just hope Southampton don’t get relegated!

Worrying me now. Guess you can’t be the best batsmen in the world and support a good football team as well
