According to Bollywood legend Naseeruddin Shah, Virat Kohli, who is preparing for the World Cup in 2023, was previously called the worst-behaved cricketer in the world. Fans were unhappy with his criticism of the player, and many advised that he leave India if he had such a severe problem with the Indian cricketer. According to a 2017 article in Times Now, Naseeruddin posted about Virat on his social media profile, calling him the finest batsman in the world while simultaneously saying he is the worst-behaved athlete.

Arrogance and attitude issue?

“Virat K is not only the world’s best batsman but also the world’s worst-behaved player,” the seasoned actor said on Facebook. His arrogance and poor manners overshadow his cricketing genius. Also, I have plans to stay in the nation—a year 2017 event.

In an exciting turn of events, Virat decided not to respond to Naseeruddin Shah’s comment, which quickly went viral online. However, online communities have reacted strongly to Naseeruddin Shah’s remarks. Supporters of cricketer Virat Kohli turned out to demand that actor Naseeruddin Shah retract his statements and apologise. Some agreed with his shocking assertions that Virat is the worst-behaved player.

During an interview, Naseeruddin Shah said that he respected Virat but expected better behaviour from him. Once upon a time, he was quoted as saying to India Today, “I have always liked Virat’s game; I am not a fool; I know a bit about cricket. I’ve never liked how he acts on the pitch, and someone needs to inform him that lip reading is a breeze with slow motion. He needs to consider the sort of example he is creating”.

Virat Kohli and his wife, the Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, are expecting their second child. The revelation that Anushka Sharma is pregnant with Virat Kohli’s second child (after Vamika) has recently made headlines. The duo is expected to confirm their relationship shortly.

However, just then, Anushka Sharma opted to go cryptic on her social media, where she spoke about judgements, and it was a subtle reply to the continuing unrest over her personal life.
