Virat Kohli’s failure against Australia in the semi-final ensured that the passive-aggressive Indian fans, working overtime on social networking sites correlated Kohli’s failure in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Kohli’s alleged girlfriend, Anushka Sharma was not spared and the couple’s names were used for plenty of mickey-taking and slanderous comments on Twitter.
Kohli’s popular advertisment, which also features legendary Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan which talks about speed and performance was one of the first to take a dig at the batsman. The batsman’s average form after his hundred against Pakistan in the tournament opener is also a worry. As the tagline goes, Virat, ” I need you here in five minutes”

There were some sane heads on the microblogging site too, who found it blasphemous to blame Kohli’s girlfriend for the batsman’s failures on the cricket pitch.
How is everyone blaming Kohli’s GF for India’s performance right now LOOL

The jokes kept pouring in, now taking a potshot at a telephone company, who have been rampantly promoting their internet services in the tournament.
Anushka Sharma: WTF was that shot? Virat Kohli: I was trying a new shot I learned. Anushka: From where? Virat Kohli: From IIN Jhumri Taliyya

So many retarded Indians showing their vile sexism & misogyny by blaming Kohli’s dismissal on his gf, Anuskha Sharma #IndvsAus

For the uninformed, Kohli has opened a clothing line and the name of his brand is mentioned in the tweet below. There is something ‘wrog’, isn’t it
Now, wait. A certain gentleman has taken things to a whole new low.
Ranbir is the culprit for @imVkohli‘s flop show. He wanted to attract audience to a bakwaas film by repeatedly kissing Anushka. Poor Kohli
