 "Kohli hits out at people for trolling Anushka")
Team India ace cricketer Virat Kohli on Monday lashed out at social media trolls for targetting Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, saying that those who blame her for anything negative in his cricket career should be ashamed of themselves.
Kohli, who single-handedly powered India into the World Twenty20 semifinal with a hurricane 82-run knock against Australia last night, took to Twitter and Instagram to hit out at the trolls who take digs at his former girlfriend after every India match.
For all those people who have been cringing every time people trolled his former girlfriend Anushka Sharma when India won a match during World T20 championship, Kohli has just one word: Shame
"Shame on those people who have been having a go at anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated," Kohli wrote.
"Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig.
Sharma has been subjected to trolling in the past as well, most notably after Kohli flopped in the ODI World Cup semifinal against Australia last year.

While Kohli and Anushka never commented on their relationship, it became public when they were spotted together on work trips. This is not the first time the Bollywood actor was connected to Kohli's performance.
In 2014, Kohli's poor on-field performance against England had fans attacking Anushka. The lowest point came when Anushka was blamed for Kohli's blip during 2015 World Cup against the mighty Australians.
The ace cricketer had come to the Bollywood diva defence even then.
Meanwhile, the star couple had called off their relationship early this year, when they unfollowed each other on social media. But, they are yet to comment on their breakup.
