PV Sindhu honours coach Gopichand in new Gatorade video, fans begin to troll Virat Kohli

On the occasion of Teacher's Day, Gatorade India uploaded a video on their official Youtube channel featuring badminton star PV Sindhu and her coach Pullela Gopichand. However, a few people took this as an opportunity to troll Indian Cricket captain Virat Kohli after the Indian Cricket team vs Anil Kumble saga.

The Kohli vs Kumble saga began after the Champions Trophy when the team lost to Pakistan in the final. In the days that followed, Anil Kumble stepped down from the role of head coach, amid speculation that the team was not particularly fond of his methods of coaching. He was then replaced by Ravi Shastri.

Gatorade intended the video to be inspiring with its clever utilization of negatives. Particularly when Sindhu used the words 'I hate my teacher' but follows it up with words explaining how Gopichand pushed her into giving it her all. Initially, when the video starts, it has a negative tone, but gradually it turns into a tone where the viewer begins to feel inspired and appreciate the hard work and the trials and tribulations undergone by Sindhu.

However, some users on Facebook used their keyboard 'skills' to post comments by trolling Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli.

While the response to the video has been largely positive and people have understood the message behind the video, there will always be a few keyboard warriors who will troll for trolling's sake. The sensible people will either ignore them and cite stats to counter the trolls.

The Internet is a big place and there will always be trolls lurking around, safe in their little corner. It is best for people to take such comments with a pinch of salt. Besides, there is a strong chance that Virat Kohli will just ignore the trolls.

Here are a few of the messages:
