2017 ICC Champions Trophy: Dear Virat Kohli, You Spoil The Reputation Of Entire India – KRK

Bollywood’s controversial critic Kamal Rashid Khan seems to have a personal grudge against India skipper Virat Kohli. No matter what the India batting star is doing, the self-proclaimed actor is not squandering a single chance to take a shot at the cricketer.
This time KRK targetted Kohli because the latter was biting his nails during the semifinal match of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh on Thursday ( June 15). Slamming Kohli for his act, the Bollywood actor and critic tweeted:
“Dear @imVkohli you spoil the reputation of entire India when you eat your nails in front of international media. So pls Learn to behave.”

Earlier this month, he had gone on to say that Kohli would not win any trophy after the Men in Blue lost against Sri Lanka despite posting a massive 321 in the group stage. In a couple of tweets, KRK had brutally criticised the India skipper.

KRK also congratulated the Indian team for making it to the final where they will play arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday (June 18).
“Congratulations to @imVkohli n #BCCIPvtLtdTeam to win semi final to reach to final to win #ChampionsTrophy17!?,” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, India registered a comprehensive nine-wicket win over Bangladesh to storm to their second consecutive Champions Trophy final. Virat Kohli’s decision to bowl first was totally justified by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, as the fast-bowler dismissed Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman cheaply.
However, Bangladesh clawed their way back into the match courtesy of a 123-run stand between Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim, as the duo laid the foundation for a good total. But once the former was dismissed by Kedar Jadhav for 70, Bangladesh lost their track and managed to post 264 for seven.
In reply, India chased down the total with utmost ease by losing just one wicket inside 41 overs with Rohit Sharma leading the way with a brilliant knock of 123 runs. He was well-supported by skipper Virat Kohli who remained unbeaten on 96.
