Virat Kohli faces the wrath of netizens on social media

However, amidst the celebrations, Virat Kohli faced criticism from some quarters on social media. After the match, a video clip surfaced showing Kohli engaging in a video call with his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. In the video, Kohli was seen blowing kisses towards his wife, a moment that was captured by the cameras and broadcast to the world.

This act drew mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disappointment at Kohli's perceived contradiction. Despite Kohli and Anushka Sharma previously advocating for their privacy and emphasizing its importance, the public display of affection on the cricket field seemed to contradict their previous statements. "A couple who keeps shouting out loud on how much privacy matters to them but has to pull this off on the cricket ground knowing 1000 cameras surround them," commented one social media user.
