The actor took to his Twitter handle to slam the cricketer where he also mentioned if he wanted to remain, King Kohli, he should think about how Rahul Dravid would have reacted to such a statement as the former India captain is considered to be a true gentleman of the sport.

Indian actor Siddharth came down hard on India captain Virat Kohli over his ‘Leave India’ comment to a fan. The actor took to his Twitter handle to slam the cricketer where he also mentioned if he wanted to remain, King Kohli, he should think about how Rahul Dravid would have reacted to such a statement as the former India captain is considered to be a true gentleman of the sport. His post read, “If you want to remain #KingKohli it may be time to teach yourself to think ‘What would Dravid say?’ before speaking in future. What an idiotic set of words to come from an #India #captain!

He also retweeted Harsha Bhogle’s tweet on Kohli, where the ace commentator talks of the ‘comfortable bubble’ Indian cricketers should avoid.

In fact, Kohli himself had once mentioned about his love for Roger Federer and AB de Villiers being his favourite player. A couple of years back, Kohli had congratulated women’s tennis player Angelique Kerber upon winning the Australian Open. What has given the trolls a reason to pick on is the fact that Kohli said Kerber was his “favourite women’s tennis player”.

“He is an overrated batsman. Nothing seems special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsman more than these Indians,” a fan had written which irked the 30-year-old.

Virat responded to the comment and said, “I don’t think you should live in India. Go and live somewhere else. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries?” He added, “I don’t mind you not liking me. I don’t you should live in our country and like other’s thing. Get your priorities sorted.”
