For good or for bad, Virat Kohli definitely knows how to stay hot on twitter.
The numero uno batsman, famous for hitting hard on the field is now trending for slamming a cricket fan who called him ‘overrated’ in a video available on the skipper’s newly launched app called –the Virat Kohli official.
The video that has riled the Indian cricket fans shows Kohli responding to tweets and messages from various cricket enthusiasts, before he comes across a user who has nothing but criticism for the Indian captain.
"Over-rated batsman and personally I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians," Kohli read out the cricket enthusiast's tweet.
The critical tweet obviously didn’t sit well with the hot-headed batsman who responded saying, “Okay, I don’t think you should live in India then... you should go and live somewhere else no. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries?”
“I don’t mind you not liking me but I don’t think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right.”
Kohli’s outburst has earned him the ire of cricket fans who are not stopping short from calling him out on his ‘attitude’, ‘arrogance’ and even ‘hypocrisy’.
Is asking his non-Indian fans to leave their country and come to India🤔🤔.. Or to sort their priorities?

This isn’t the first time that India’s most in-form batsman has showcased his anger over personal criticism in public.
Kohli’s low threshold for criticism was previously witnessed during an Australia tour, back in 2012, when he flipped his middle finger to an abusive group of spectators during the second day of a test match in Sydney.
