10 Controversial moments in Virat Kohli's career
Through the course of his illustrious career, there have been several occasions when Virat Kohli has grabbed the limelight and courted controversy.
6. Sunil Gavaskar’s comment on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma during IPL 2020
The legendary Sunil Gavaskar found himself in the spotlight after a comment on Virat Kohli during the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). On 24th September 2020, Kohli was dismissed for a score of just 1 run against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) side in an IPL match.
And, Sunil Gavaskar, who was on air at that time stated that during the lockdown that was induced by Covid-19 before the 13th season of the IPL, all that Kohli did was practice batting with Anushka Sharma bowling to him.
However, the Bollywood diva did not take it lightly. Stating that the year was 2020, Anushka lamented that she is still dragged into the picture for her husband’s performances.
“It’s 2020 and things still don’t change for me. When will I stop getting dragged into cricket and stop being used to pass sweeping statements?” stated Anushka Sharma.
This issue hogged a lot of limelight, and Gavaskar received some flak for his comments on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper.
