Virat Kohli, the Indian captain found himself in very trouble as he replied in a very notorious fashion. This occurred during the launch of an app named Virat Kohli Official App during his 30th birthday. A cricket follower had tweeted "Over-rated batsman and personally, I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians,".

To which Kohli replied, "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,".

These comments made by Virat Kohli did not go well with a lot of people and he was heavily criticised for his demeanour.
