Recently, Anushka Sharma shared a social media post by the India arm of the popular German sportswear brand as an Instagram story. The post showed the actress posing for a photo, in which she was wearing a yellow Puma sports bra and navy blue leggings. The logo was prominently visible on her chest. In the story, Anushka appeared to express outrage over the company using her photo for promoting its products without her permission. “Hey, Puma India? I’m sure you know that you have to take permission before you can use my imagery for publicity since I’m not your ambassador. Please take it down!" she wrote. Virat Kohli, India's star cricketer and Anushka's husband who is already Puma India's brand ambassador, shared the story. Also Read: Just a publicity stunt! Netizens furious over Anushka Sharma's marketing gimmick with Puma So what was that Puma-Anushka Sharma fuss all about? View this post on Instagram A post shared by PUMA India (@pumaindia) Many thought all this hullabaloo smacked of a poorly-conceived marketing gimmick, while Anushka's fans conveyed anger at Puma. Of course, the former set of people was proven right. It had to be a gimmick. It was ludicrously obvious. And indeed the next day, Puma shared a photo depicting what appeared to be a contract between the actress and the company with its contents blurred and a CONFIDENTIAL written in big, red letters. Anushka shared the post in another one of her stories, writing, "I'll sleep on it." Now, the rest of those who still thought this was a booboo on part of Puma also realised what was happening. It was not actually subtle, mind you. And no, Puma didn't quickly draw up a contract to save face. The company had already signed Anushka and this was done to garner headlines, increase brand recall, and do what every marketing campaign is supposed to do: sell more products. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) Was it an effective strategy? That is something only Puma knows or will know in the future. Having a recognised name, particularly a big celebrity like Anushka, always helps, so long as the product roughly coincides with the image of the said celebrity. And the actress is quite well-known for her fitness. And many brands have made judicious and innovative use of social media to increase awareness about their products in the recent past. So yes, at one level, it may indeed be effective. Again, it's too early to say but a cursory perusal of tweets and comments indicates that a goodly number of people are impressed by whoever cooked up the campaign. Yesterday, Anushka and Virat displayed anger on Instagram, blaming Puma for using her pictures. Today, Puma signs Anushka Sharma as her brand ambassador. I don't know if these events were genuine, but it definitely becomes a topic of discussion. Should I say, Puma 💯? pic.twitter.com/KxkpsDtu5v — Huzefa (フゼファ) (@huzefamotiwala) December 21, 2022 × And even if many are slamming the company and the actor, a popular saying will have it that any sort of publicity is good publicity. This is something most marketing experts will agree with. It is better to be notorious than unknown. The trouble is, these sorts of strategies do tend to backfire. Social media is a hard nut to crack for even veteran marketing and advertising professionals. On social media, people do not see the entire thing straight away, they are usually too busy scrolling to see the next piece of content. It is entirely possible that many saw Anushka's initial story slamming Puma, got busy with professional endeavours, and missed the rest of the drama. Those may not even be aware that it was a joke. For them, Puma is now a company that is guilty of using a celeb's image to promote its products without actually paying them. Have social media ad campaigns backfired before? Also Read: UK's Burger King under fire for 'Women belong in kitchen' tweet More than one can count. Particularly those that intend to hoodwink potential customers in some way. One famous example is Burger King, a popular fast food chain that appears to be going from one marketing fiasco to another in the last couple of decades. On 2021's International Women's Day, Burger King UK shared an advertisement in newspapers that highlighted the lack of female chefs in its restaurants. The ad began with the text "Women belong in the kitchen" before adding that the company was sponsoring a scholarship programme for women who wish to “pursue their culinary dreams” and highlighted the skewed employee sex ratio in restaurants in the UK and the US. The Burger King Foundation promised $25,000 grants to chosen female aspiring cooks/chefs under the H.E.R. (Helping Equalize Restaurants) scholarships. Remember when Burger King UK tweeted this on International Women’s Day? 💀 pic.twitter.com/3hRGYSRCnk — Jam 👊🏻 (@TheJamOfSteel) August 8, 2022 × All well and good. But the social media team of Burger King, to reproduce the campaign on that most unsubtle of social networks — Twitter — began with a tweet reading "Women belong in the kitchen" and let it all simmer for a while. While in the print, the context was hard to miss, on Twitter? Not so. Of course, it went haywire, with tweeple, even after learning what the brand had intended, excoriating the company for using a lame, old sexist joke to promote what was, essentially, a good cause. And since the tweet could stand on its own, it was shared widely without context and the company had to withdraw the tweet and issue an apology. We hear you. We got our initial tweet wrong and we’re sorry. Our aim was to draw attention to the fact that only 20% of professional chefs in UK kitchens are women and to help change that by awarding culinary scholarships. We will do better next time. — Burger King (@BurgerKingUK) March 8, 2021 × "We hear you. We got our initial tweet wrong and we’re sorry.

Anushka Sharma, Puma marketing ploy: Effective strategy or a failed publicity stunt?

<p>Just a few weeks after Malaika Arora tricked her fans with her 'I&nbsp;said yes' Instagram post, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has used similar marketing gimmicks to announce a new brand collaboration with a sportswear brand. And, it seems that netizens are not happy with it!</p>

<p>On Monday, Anushka&nbsp;had an angry reaction to Puma using her pictures without her prior permission. But, it turns out that it was nothing more than a planned marketing campaign, which ultimately lead to an announcement of her new brand collaboration.&nbsp;Her husband and cricketer Virat Kohli is already an ambassador for the sportswear brand</p>

<p>Yesterday, reposting Puma's post, Anushka wrote, "Hey, @pumaindia? I'm sure you know that you have to take permission before you can use my imagery for publicity since I'm not your ambassador. Please take it down! (angry face emojis)." Virat had liked the post that her wife Anushka slammed.</p>

<p>In response to Anushka's reaction, Puma posted a blurred picture of a contract offered to Anushka on their official handle and wrote,&nbsp;"Hey @anushkasharma, we should've reached out sooner! Should we take things to the next level, then? " Anushka then took to her Instagram stories to repost the same and wrote, "I'll sleep on it."</p>

<p>A couple of hours later, the actress posted another video on Instagram, in which she is seen contemplating Puma's offer. In the caption, she wrote,&nbsp;"Considering @pumaindia’s proposal.. What say?"</p>

<p>"Wait, will I have to wear sports bras all day? It's like being stuck at the same job as Virat." Anushka says in the video. Take a look!</p>

Just a publicity stunt! Netizens furious over Anushka Sharma's marketing gimmick with Puma

<p>Indian actress Anushka Sharma has slammed certain who purportedly entered her husband Virat Kohli's hotel room, made a video and then leaked it online.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Virat had shared the post earlier on his Instagram handle and Anushka reshared it on her Instagram stories asking fans "Where is the line?"</p>

<p>"Have experienced a few incidents where some fans have shown no compassion or grace in the past but this really is the worst thing. An absolute disgrace and violation of a human being and anyone who sees this and thinks celebrity <em>ho toh deal Karna padega</em> (If you are a celebrity then you will have to deal with this) should know that you are also part of the problem."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She added, "Exercising some self-control helps everyone. Also, if this is happening in your bedroom then where is the line?"</p>

Celeb-approved beauty and makeup hacks Jessica Alba's dewy makeup look hack American actress Jessica Alba recently tried a viral TikTok makeup trend and gave some serious makeup lessons to her fans. Instead of layering foundation, concealer, blush, and contour on top of each other, the actress applied small dots of each product on different sections of her face in one layer and blended from lightest to darkest. The diva used a setting spray to keep the products from drying out. This way, she avoided getting a caked-on look and saved some product too. If you have oily skin and your pores get clogged easily, you should definitely try out this hack. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessica Alba (@jessicaalba) Katrina Kaif reveals her favourite hack In a 2020 Instagram video, Katrina revealed how she gets an "instant refreshed look" with Kay Beauty's eyeshadow pencil. Sharing her secret with the world, the actress shared that the product is a multi-purpose product and doesn't require brushes for application as well. Katrina suggested her followers to apply a little bit of the eyeshadow crayon on the lids and merge it with their fingertips. She also asked them to apply some product on the lower lid to open up the eyes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kay Beauty By Katrina (@kaybykatrina) Alia Bhatt's skincare routine In an elaborate YouTube video, Alia Bhatt once shared what she uses on her skin and how she maintains her glow. Taking her fans through her everyday routine, she shared that she first applies an eye cream to get rid of dark circles and eye bags. After that, she uses a niacinamide serum to deal with fine lines. For the third step, she uses caffeine solution drops, followed by a moisturiser. Her skincare secret is that she uses everything on her neck that she uses on her face. Gal Gadot spills the beans The 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot likes to go light on her makeup. So instead of layering foundation over her moisturiser, she mixes a few drops of both products on her palm and applies it with her fingertips. In a conversation with Harper's Bazaar, the actress also shared that she uses lots of different body lotions to keep her skin from drying. Emma Roberts American actress Emma Roberts, who starred in 'We're The Millers', never skips wearing her sunscreen. She often switches between Tatcha sunscreen and the Coola sunscreen. Other than that, she uses eye creams before applying makeup or going to bed. "I'm obsessed with eye cream. It just makes everything brighter and better. I've been using the Charlotte Tilbury eye cream lately, which I really like. And I love the Tata Harper regenerating cleanser. It exfoliates but also you can use it every day," she told Travel + Leisure. Billie Eilish's post-show routine The singer, in a recent Vogue video, shared how she replenishes her skin after performing at a concert. After removing her makeup, she shared that she uses a sulphur and zinc mask to get rid of dead skin and purify pores. Watch Billie share her post-show beauty routine on @voguemagazine's Beauty Secrets. https://t.co/HuvZAKI9dA pic.twitter.com/AellsmXFTO — billie eilish (@billieeilish) July 14, 2022 Priyanka Chopra's guide to skincare In a collaboration video with Harper's Bazaar, Priyanka Chopra shared that she uses organic coconut oil to remove her makeup. She gently massages her skin with her fingertips and uses a warm towel to get rid of the oil. She also shared that she uses ayurvedic ubtan as a mask to purify her skin. The ubtan consists of whole wheat flour, turmeric, lime juice, full cream yogurt and some rose water.

<p>Virat Kohli has been receiving messages of support from all corners amid criticism over his poor form for Team India. Kohli has struggled for consistency across formats and has not been able to notch up big scores. He has not scored an international century since November 2019 and is on the verge of completing 1,000 days without scoring a ton for Team India.</p>

<p>Kohli had an average campaign for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2022 following which he was rested from the T20I series against South Africa at home. Kohli was expected to spark a turnaround with the willow in India's ongoing tour of England but he has failed to fire once again.</p>

<p>The batting maestro, who used to score centuries for fun at one stage in his career, has so far managed only 59 runs in his last five innings for India across formats against England amid questions over his spot in India's T20I team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year.</p>

<p>"Buddy, your career has had some of the best that have played the game only wish they could have done what you have(so far). Be proud, walk tall &amp; enjoy life. There’s way more than just the bubble of cricket out there. You’ll be back," wrote Pietersen in a post on Instagram.</p>

Kohli was expected to spark a turnaround with the willow in India's ongoing tour of England but he has failed to fire once again. The batting maestro, who used to score centuries for fun at one stage in his career, has so far managed only 59 runs in his last five innings for India across formats against England amid questions over his spot in India's T20I team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year.

Be proud, walk tall & enjoy life. There’s way more than just the bubble of cricket out there. You’ll be back," wrote Pietersen in a post on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kevin Pietersen MBE (@kevinpietersen) × Kohli took notice of Pietersen's post and responded by dropping a heart emoji in the comments section. His wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma also reacted to Pietersen's post for her husband and posted a heart emoji in the comments section.

Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma respond after Kevin Pietersen sends message of support to former India captain

<p>Indian cricket legends who are performing poorly receive all the remarks. Whether it was Sachin, Ganguly, or Dhoni, everyone received criticism when they weren't doing well. Virat Kohli, one of the best batters of the modern age, is also on this list of legends.</p>

<p>In all formats of the game, Kohli has hit 70 hundreds, but he hasn't in the past three years. In a T20I game against the West Indies in December 2019, he had a best score of 94 not out.</p>

<p>At a time when Kohli is receiving ruthless trolling because his performance has not been up to par, one thing to keep in mind is that trolls never target celebrities for their poor performance alone.</p>

<p>Actress Anushka Sharma, then girlfriend of Kohli, was blamed for the Indian team's elimination from the cricket World Cup, despite Kohli's strong performance in the 2015 World Cup.</p>

<p>And in a statement, Virat Kohli said that "the stuff that happened after the World Cup semi-final, the way people reacted towards my personal life and Anushka in particular, was really disrespectful. I want to put this out in public because at the human level, I was really hurt,".</p>

<p>The 'online India' is changing, and it's for the worse this time. We once aimed to be a centre of information for the entire world, but we are now deteriorating into a sewer of gleeful ignorance, haughtiness, and violent trolling. View the timeline of your Twitter account.</p>

<p>It will be controlled by young, incensed internet bundle users who take joy in the label of "Troll." It would seem that they would exchange any sense of sanity, empathy, and common civility for a few likes and retweets.</p>

<p>I think we've lost sight of the fact that civility is crucial to democracy somewhere. When we speak and express without using basic research and critical thinking, we as a country violate our constitutional rights to free speech and expression.</p>

<p>The way ideas are expressed regarding cricket is one area where this trend is most obvious. Sometimes, cricket fans have been described as "toxic" by people due to a combination of conceit and ignorance.</p>

<p>Fans are certainly entitled to their opinions and criticism, but it is indefensibly rude to constantly disparage the cricket teams of countries on the basis of sociopolitical issues in those nations.</p>

<p>To take matters to an unprecedented level of travesty, we have started abusing and harassing our own players now. Idiotically named cliques like "Rohitians" and "Viratians" regularly go at each other, and even target the families of these cricketers who, in all fairness, owe us next to nothing.</p>

<p>The one man who is bearing the brunt of this new trend the most is Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain, who was once hailed as the nation’s biggest star, is now being trolled almost every day.</p>

<p>Cricket players are occasionally kept in teams not just because of their particular skills but also because of their experience and competitive spirit.</p>

<p>Cricket is not just about a player's individual effectiveness as a batter or bowler; a player's improved cricketing sense also greatly benefits the team. Dhoni's cricket acumen, for instance, has benefited Team India. Kohli was not only one of the best batters, but he was also a successful skipper and a good fielder.</p>

<p>In difficult circumstances, his experience aids Team India.</p>

<p>It is well known that, by his own high standards, he has struggled to impress with the bat over the last three years, but to those who wish death and misery upon him for this reason, I ask a question.</p>

<p>How will you feel if you are sworn at and ridiculed if you fail your NEET, JEE or UPSC exams twice or thrice? Would you expect support, or a summary trial and execution?</p>

<p>Expression is simple. The challenging aspect is thinking before speaking. You owe Virat Kohli nothing. Adjust to it. If you mock him unnecessarily or use foul language, all you come off as is a disgruntled person who will never amount to anything more than the 100 likes and 200 retweets that your terrible words garner.</p>

Opinion | Unfortunate trolls, Virat Kohli owes you nothing

<p>Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma returns to the movies after three years with `Chakda Xpress`, inspired by the life and times of women cricket`s all-time greatest fast bowler Jhulan Goswami.</p>

<p>Anushka has started filming `Chakda Xpress`, which will be shot in India and the UK and is being produced by Clean Slate Filmz.</p>

<p>She says, "It feels like my first film again and I`m really excited to start this journey with `Chakda Xpress`, a film that I truly believe in. The pandemic unfortunately kept me away from returning to the movies despite me itching to start filming quickly. I would have loved to entertain and engage with fans and audiences way, way earlier."</p>

<p>It is reported that Anushka will be flying to the UK to shoot a 30-day schedule of the cricket film.</p>

<p>She says, "A film of this scale needed tremendous prep in all departments and we are glad that `Chakda Xpress` has started off in style. `Chakda Xpress` is a delightful script that intends to make strong statements and I`m proud to creatively collaborate with my producer brother, Karnesh Ssharma and my director, Prosit Roy, to tell a fascinating underdog story of a woman."</p>

<p>Jhulan Goswami succeeded in her goal and went on to captain the Indian women`s national cricket team and is a role model for aspiring cricketers in the country. In 2018, an Indian postage stamp was issued in her honour. Jhulan Goswami holds the world record for the highest number of wickets taken by a woman in an international career.</p>

<p>Anushka says, "It is a fact that women have to go that extra mile to earn their place in this patriarchal world. Jhulan Goswami`s life is testimony to the fact that she carved her own destiny and fought for every inch of spotlight and recognition."</p>

<p>Virat Kohli remains the poster boy of Indian cricket. While many youngsters have joined Team India post Kohli, the 33-year-old remains the face of the national side and also the most-talked-about cricketer. While he is known as a fierce competitor on the 22-yard cricket strip, the right-hander is a very simple and humble person off the field.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Narrating an incident, during India's tour of West Indies immediately after the 2019 ODI World Cup, former Indian cricketer Vivek Razdan has revealed how Kohli never used to travel business class and rather preferred being with teammates in economy class during his captaincy era. As per Razdan, two business class seats&nbsp;are reserved in business class for the captain&nbsp;and head coach of Team India.&nbsp;</p>

Virat never requested business class seat for Anushka: Former cricketer dwells on Indian star's nature

<p>Soon after the end of IPL 2021, AB de Villiers dropped a bomb. The former South African captain announced his retirement from all forms of the game in mid-November and, thus, ended his ten-year-long association with the Virat Kohli-starrer Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise.</p>

<p>During his IPL career, de Villiers represented the Delhi Daredevils (now known as the Delhi Capitals) but spent majority of his days at the RCB camp. Overall, he signed off with 5,162 runs -- sixth-most overall -- but ended up scoring 4,491 runs from 128 matches for the Bengaluru-based franchise and led them to the playoffs on five occasions. However, he couldn't help RCB end their title-drought.</p>

Predicting Sanju Samson-led RR's playing XI vs SRH</strong></a></p>

<p>Recently, former RCB captain Virat Kohli recalled de Villiers' retirement. The two had become one of the most successful batting pairs in IPL, combining together to lead RCB to some mammoth scores and memorable wins.</p>

<p>“It’s very strange I mean, I clearly remember when he decided to finally call it a day. He sent me a voice note, we were coming back from Dubai after the (T20) World Cup. I got a voice note from AB de Villiers while we were driving back home. I opened it and while I was listening to it, I looked at Anushka in shock. My face fell to which she questioned, I showed her the message and the voice note from AB and she exclaimed, ‘Don’t tell me!’. She knew," Kohli said on RCB&nbsp;Bold Diaries.</p>

<p>He further revealed, "I kind of had the impression and was guessing it in the last IPL. Our rooms were next to each other, and we would walk the same way and disperse, every time we walked to our room and he would see me outside, he would be like ‘I want to see you for coffee, one of these days. I kept getting nervous and was like ‘I am not sitting with you because I think there is something coming’ to which he always said ‘No man there is nothing, I just want to have a chat with you, it’s been a while and he never speaks like that because we interact all the time. So, I knew something is brewing up. It is a very strange feeling I got very emotional. The voice note was very emotional as well for me when he said, ‘Look I don’t have it in me anymore. I have shared so many moments with him, highs and lows, everything we have been through he was right next to me."</p>

'I looked at Anushka Sharma in shock' - Virat Kohli recalls AB de Villiers' shocking IPL retirement

<p>Ahead of the start of the India-Sri Lanka Test series, head coach Rahul Dravid felicitated Virat Kohli on playing his 100th Test match on Friday morning (March 04).&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Rohit Sharma-led Team India won the toss and opted to bat first, at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Dravid presented Kohli his special cap ahead of his historic outing in whites for the national side. Dravid told, "When you started out as a kid you must have wanted to play one Test for India, you stand here on the cusp of your 100th. It’s a testament to everything that is great in our sport... sweat, discipline, courage, skill, determination, desire, focus, you had it all. You had a great journey. You can be very proud of not only playing the 100th Test match but also for the great journey that you have navigated through."</p>

<p>“Congratulations to you and your family on this fantastic achievement. It is well deserved, it is well earned… hopefully it is just the start of many more bigger things to come and as we say in the dressing room, ‘double it up’," he added.</p>

Ahead of the start of the India-Sri Lanka Test series, head coach Rahul Dravid felicitated Virat Kohli on playing his 100th Test match on Friday morning (March 04).

Ahead of the start of the India-Sri Lanka Test series, head coach Rahul Dravid felicitated Virat Kohli on playing his 100th Test match on Friday morning (March 04). After Rohit Sharma-led Team India won the toss and opted to bat first, at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Dravid presented Kohli his special cap ahead of his historic outing in whites for the national side. Dravid told, "When you started out as a kid you must have wanted to play one Test for India, you stand here on the cusp of your 100th. It’s a testament to everything that is great in our sport... sweat, discipline, courage, skill, determination, desire, focus, you had it all. You had a great journey. You can be very proud of not only playing the 100th Test match but also for the great journey that you have navigated through." “Congratulations to you and your family on this fantastic achievement. It is well deserved, it is well earned… hopefully it is just the start of many more bigger things to come and as we say in the dressing room, ‘double it up’," he added.

Paparazzi and its obsession with star kids: The most in-news Bollywood kids

<p>Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcomed their little bundle of joy, Vamika, in January last year. The two have been sharing updates and photos of their daughter with millions of fans and followers on their Instagram handles, but have refrained from revealing her face until now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Sunday, during a&nbsp;cricket match in South Africa, Cape Town, a&nbsp;camera person panned the camera towards Anushka and Vamika celebrating Virat's on-field performance, giving a clear view of Vamika's face for the first time. Ever since then, the photos of Vamika are all over the internet.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, the star couple, who have been requesting media and fans to keep their daughter away from the spotlight, has issued a statement:&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="statement" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="45a688d7-3179-404e-946b-cfadbd4dab19" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202022-01-24T114112.521.jpg" /></p>

<p>"Hi guys! We realise that or daughters images were captured at the stadium yesterday and widely shared thereafter. We want to inform everyone that we were caught off guard and didn't know that the camera was on us. Our stance and request on the matter stays the same. We would really appreciate if Vamika's images are not clicked/published for reasons we have explained earlier. Thank you! (sic)."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Some fans could not keep calm as they finally got a glimpse of their daughter. However, other internet users&nbsp;<a href="http://13.235.153.162/sports/respect-their-privacy-netizens-react-as-video-of-virat-kohli-anushka-sharmas-daughter-goes-viral-446979">lashed out and condemned&nbsp;</a>circulation of Vamika's photo, demanding that the paparazzi&nbsp;delete it. Many fans even asked to report the tweets and tagged official accounts to delete them.</p>

<p>In December last year, Anushka took to her Instagram to thank the paparazzi for not circulating and posting Vamika's photos.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
''We are deeply thankful to the Indian paparazzi and most of the media fraternity for not publishing pictures/videos of Vamika. As parents, our request to the few who carried the images/video will be to support us going forward,” wrote the actor on behalf of herself and her cricketer-husband.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older, we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice restraint in the matter,” she added. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
“A special thank you to fan clubs and people of the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you,” she concluded the statement.&nbsp;</p>

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcomed their little bundle of joy, Vamika, in January last year. The two have been sharing updates and photos of their daughter with millions of fans and followers on their Instagram handles, but have refrained from revealing her face until now. On Sunday, during a cricket match in South Africa, Cape Town, a camera person panned the camera towards Anushka and Vamika celebrating Virat's on-field performance, giving a clear view of Vamika's face for the first time. Ever since then, the photos of Vamika are all over the internet. Now, the star couple, who have been requesting media and fans to keep their daughter away from the spotlight, has issued a statement: "Hi guys! We realise that or daughters images were captured at the stadium yesterday and widely shared thereafter. We want to inform everyone that we were caught off guard and didn't know that the camera was on us. Our stance and request on the matter stays the same. We would really appreciate if Vamika's images are not clicked/published for reasons we have explained earlier. Thank you! (sic)." Some fans could not keep calm as they finally got a glimpse of their daughter. However, other internet users lashed out and condemned circulation of Vamika's photo, demanding that the paparazzi delete it. Many fans even asked to report the tweets and tagged official accounts to delete them. In December last year, Anushka took to her Instagram to thank the paparazzi for not circulating and posting Vamika's photos. ''We are deeply thankful to the Indian paparazzi and most of the media fraternity for not publishing pictures/videos of Vamika. As parents, our request to the few who carried the images/video will be to support us going forward,” wrote the actor on behalf of herself and her cricketer-husband. We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely away from media and social media. As she is older, we cannot restrict her movement and hence your support is needed so kindly practice restraint in the matter,” she added. “A special thank you to fan clubs and people of the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you,” she concluded the statement.

<p>Kohli, who is regarded as one of the best batters of the current era, has not been on top of his game for a while now and has struggled to match the standards he has set for himself with his consistent performances in the past. The batting maestro has not scored an international century since 2019 and has been looking to bring an end to the long-standing sought.</p>

<p>Kohli had left India's T20I captaincy last year before being replaced as the ODI captain of the team by Rohit Sharma. He quit as the Test captain of the Indian team earlier this month and is now playing as a pure batter for the national side. Akhtar made a bizarre comment on Kohli's recent struggles suggesting that he shouldn't have gotten married so early in his career.</p>

<p>Akhtar said he would never have married had he been in Kohli's place ad that the pressure of marriage and family can take a toll on a player's performance for his team.</p>

<p>"Virat captained for 6-7 years and I was never in favour of his captaincy, I just wanted him to keep scoring 100-120 runs and keep the focus on his batting," Akhtar said speaking to <em>Dainik Jagran</em>.</p>

<p>"I would have not even married if I were in his place. I had just scored runs and enjoyed cricket, these 10-12 years of cricket are different time and doesn't come again, I am not saying getting married is wrong but If you are playing for India, you would have enjoyed a time a little. fans are crazy about Kohli and he had to maintain that love he is getting for the last 20 years," he added.</p>

<p>Akhtar explained how a cricketer has a very short career span and their peak years can be anywhere between 5 to 6. The former Pakistan pacer claimed Kohli's peak has passed already and that now he will have to struggle to continue producing consistent performances for his team.</p>

<p>"Absolutely it does [the pressure of marriage, captaincy affect cricket]. There is pressure from the children, of the family. As the responsibility increases, so does the pressure. Cricketers have a short career span of 14-15 years in which you stay at the peak for five-six years. Those years of Virat have passed, now he has to struggle," said Akhtar.</p>

Shoaib Akhtar makes bizarre statement about Virat Kohli: Would not have married if I were in his place

<p>Coming back to screen after three years, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma teased the first look of her upcoming film ‘Chakda Xpress’ as she is set to play the role of Jhulan Goswami, former captain of Indian national women’s cricket team team. But as some fans welcomed her back, many others did not feel too happy about Sharma’s casting for the role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As she plays Jhulan, Anushka Sharma will basically be playing a Bengali. Many pointed out that in the teaser, she doesn’t sound like a Bengali and that she has had to be darkened for the role which would not have been required had they cast an actor matching Jhulan’s skin colour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-anushka-sharma-to-play-cricketer-jhulan-goswami-in-chakda-xpress-watch-video-442651">Chakda Xpress</a> teaser incorporates a line spoken in Bengali by Anushka, which did not get Twitter’s approval. “Kintu chinta koro na (But don’t you worry),” says Anushka as Jhulan, talking about her ambition of making it big in the world of cricket. Many call Anushka Sharma’s accent as “cringe”, “horrible” among other things.</p>

<p>One tweet read, “Nothing against <a data-ctorig="https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma" data-cturl="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjHqNuHnZ31AhXblFYBHSH3Cx0QFnoECAAQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1emxJKhEzqanndKMv6BpJP" dir="ltr" href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma" target="_blank"><b>Anushka Sharma</b></a>, she is a brilliant actress but as a Bengali I have issues with the weird accent.” Another person added, “There are some fine actresses in Bengali industry who could have played the role of Jhulan with elan. But, no, not happening as we still have to get a popular actor of Bollywood, put on layer of dusky makeup and still not look the part, not even the accent.”</p>

<p>“Man she isn't even looking half as similar as Jhulan Goswami. Neither in height nor in complexion. Even her Bengali accent is very cringe,” said a Twitter user while another one added, “The way she's telling ‘Kintu chinta koro na. Seems like the filmmakers thought Jhulan was a probasi Bangali (an expatriate Bengali).”</p>

<p>Talking about the film, Anushka, who will be seen playing the titular role, said, "It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. 'Chakda Xpress' will be an eye-opener into the world of women's cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport.

Anushka feels proud to receive an opportunity to play Jhulan on screen."From support systems to facilities, to having&nbsp;a stable income from playing the game, to even having a future in cricket - very little propelled women of India to take up cricket as a profession. Jhulan had a fighting and extremely uncertain cricketing career and she stayed motivated to make her country proud. She strived to change the stereotype that women can`t make a career out of playing cricket in India so that the next generation of girls had a better playing field," she added<br />

Anushka shared the news with her Instagram followers as well. She posted the film's teaser in which we can see Anushka in Team India's jersey.<br />

Cricketer Jhulan can't wait for people to witness her story and cheer for women in cricket."When you represent India, that`s all that is on your mind. Tum desh ke liye khel rahe ho, apne liye nahi. 11 women playing to place Team India`s name in history. It doesn't matter if they said<em> ladkiyan cricket nahi khel sakti.</em> It doesn't matter if sometimes a man's accomplishments are placed above your own. It doesn`t matter if the stadiums are empty," Jhulan said.<br />

"When you pull up onto the pitch to bowl, all you see is the opponent holding the cricket bat and the stumps you need to knock out," she further shared.<br />

Anushka Sharma to play cricketer Jhulan Goswami in 'Chakda Xpress', watch video 

<p>The calendar year is coming to an end. A lot of action took place in the sporting arena after the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc in 2020.&nbsp;Some big-ticket tournaments took place in the 22-yard cricket strip, which tested Team India (the senior men's team)&nbsp;to the core. While India continued to dominate in Tests, despite missing out on the coveted WTC title in the inaugural cycle's finale, they were decent in ODIs but had a forgettable campaign in the T20 World Cup in UAE. Talking about Virat Kohli, the 33-year-old had a rather ordinary calendar year with the end quarter turning into a nightmare.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The superstar cricketer, who remains the poster boy of Indian cricket, finished 2021 without being able to lead India to an ICC title and went on to dent his terms with BCCI and the current selection committee in early December. In addition, the right-hander ended without a hundred in international cricket (with his century drought lasting for over two years).&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>KING KOHLI BECOMES A PROUD FATHER&nbsp;BEFORE NATIONAL DUTY RESUMES</strong></p>

<p>The year started for Kohli with some needless noise on his much-talked about paternity leave. On January 11, Kohli turned proud father&nbsp;as he welcomed his first child, daughter named Vamika, along with wife Anushka Sharma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Watching India's glorious run in the Australia Tests Down Under by being miles away, Kohli returned to international cricket to take charge in the home Tests versus England. Losing his first Test of the year versus Joe Root &amp; Co., Kohli inspired India's comeback as the hosts romped past the Englishmen in the remainder of the series to win the four-match series 3-1&nbsp;and book a place in the WTC final.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli, however, ended the series with 172 runs, including two fifty-plus scores, at an average of 28.66.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India then turned to the five T20Is and three ODIs against the same opposition. Facing a competitive Eoin Morgan-led side, India were tested before they won the series 3-2. The then Indian captain Kohli ended with 231 runs (most runs in bilateral T20Is involving Test-playing nations) to be adjudged the Player-of-the-Series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the ODIs, Kohli had two good outings with two fifties, but continued to remain away from triple-figure knocks.&nbsp;He, however, led his troops to a 2-1 series win. He was tested to the core as captain in terms of his bowling changes and field settings throughout the series against the ODI World champions.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>IPL AMID COVID-19 SECOND WAVE</strong></p>

<p>The IPL 2021 edition was the next assignment for Kohli. Leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the right-hander started the season on a high with back-to-back victories. While RCB did lose the plot to an extend before the COVID-19 second wave halted the tournament, Kohli's numbers with the bat was pretty mediocre with 198 runs at 33 in 7 games. His strike-rate remained below 120 on six outings.</p>

<p><strong>GLORIOUS CHANCE RUINED IN WTC FINAL</strong></p>

<p>The biggest assignment for Kohli, both as captain and batsman, came when he led India to the WTC final versus New Zealand in Southampton in mid-June. While many termed India as the overwhelming favourites, it seemed as if Kohli would finally be able to break the national side's jinx of not being able to win an ICC title since 2013. However, all hopes were dented as his year remained ordinary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His returns with the bat were 44&nbsp;and 13&nbsp;as India lost convincingly by 8 wickets to lose the marquee title. Thus, the team had no choice but to revamp soon as the second cycle commenced with India's five Tests versus England in the United Kingdom, from August 3.</p>

<p><strong>THE HIGHS AGAINST HOSTS ENGLAND</strong></p>

<p>While India rode on KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma's batting performances, Kohli continued to remain below par despite few good innings. He averaged only 31.14 after the series was interrupted due to Covid crisis in Indian camp after the fourth and penultimate Test.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>TWO BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS - WHO SAW IT COMING?</strong></p>

<p>The action moved to the second and final leg of IPL 2021, in the UAE. Kohli returned to lead RCB after making two massive announcements.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In mid-September, Kohli announced his decision to step aside as the T20I captain. He tweeted saying, "I have been fortunate enough to not only represent India but also lead the Indian Cricket Team to my utmost capability. I thank everyone who has supported me in my journey as the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team."</p>

<p>"I couldn't have done it without them - the boys, the support staff, the selection committee, my coaches, and each and every Indian who prayed for us to win. Understanding workload is a very important thing and considering my immense workload over the last 8-9 years playing all 3 formats and captaining regularly for last 5-6 years, I feel I need to give myself space to be fully ready to lead the Indian Team in Test and ODI Cricket. I have given everything to the Team during my time as T20 Captain and I will continue to do so for the T20 Team as a batsman moving forward."</p>

<p>"Of course, arriving at this decision took a lot of time. After a lot of contemplation and discussions with my close people, Ravi bhai and also Rohit, who have been an essential part of the leadership group, I've decided to step down as the T20 Captain after this T20 World Cup in Dubai in October. I have also spoken to the secretary Mr Jay Shah and the President of BCCI Mr Sourav Ganguly along with all the selectors about the same. I will continue to serve Indian Cricket and the Indian Team to the best of my ability."</p>

<p><strong>NO IPL TROPHY OR T20 WC HEROICS</strong></p>

<p>Thus, Kohli entered the IPL final leg with his loyalists hoping for him to sign off&nbsp;on a high as captain;&nbsp;winning RCB and his maiden trophy. Nonetheless, it didn't turn out that way as Bengaluru lost in the Eliminator with Kohli ending the season with 405 runs in 14 games at 119.46.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Post the IPL, Kohli moved to the T20 World Cup, which was to be his last assignment as T20I captain. Needless to say, the countrymen hoped for him to take India to the title and also sign off on a fitting note as the captain in the shortest format. However, Kohli endured back-to-back failures as India bowed out in the Super 12 round, also becoming the first Indian captain to lose a WC clash versus the Men in Green.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli's dubious captaincy calls hogged headlines before India's untimely exit. Meanwhile, he finished with 68 runs in 5 games, with a high-score of 57 and not batting at all on two instances.</p>

<p>While Kohli was on a break during India's home T20Is and first Test versus New Zealand, he returned back to action for the second and final Test against the Black Caps. He led India with aplomb as they achieved their biggest win in terms of runs but once again couldn't break his century-drought, returning with 0 and 36. He has four ducks in Tests in 2021 with one more match to go in the calendar year.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>BCCI ROW&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>On December 8, BCCI removed Kohli as the ODI captain and appointed Rohit as the limited-overs skipper. While many speculated a rift between the two cricketers, Kohli rubbished all such rumours in an explosive presser before India's departure to South Africa. However, he made some glaring statements, contradicting from the claims made by BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly and a board member.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Ganguly had claimed that he had requested Kohli to keep the top job in T20Is, as captain, Kohli denied all such claims. Moreover, he also stated that he was always available for the SA ODIs, contrary to statements made by BCCI treasurer Arun Dhamal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hence, it has now become BCCI vs Kohli as things have continued to go downhill for the 33-year-old batsman. Overall, 2021 has been a mixed bag for Kohli and he will be tested in the new calendar year as well. After all, he has endured more disappointments than spirited highs.&nbsp;</p>


The calendar year is coming to an end. A lot of action took place in the sporting arena after the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc in 2020. Some big-ticket tournaments took place in the 22-yard cricket strip, which tested Team India (the senior men's team) to the core.

The calendar year is coming to an end. A lot of action took place in the sporting arena after the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc in 2020. Some big-ticket tournaments took place in the 22-yard cricket strip, which tested Team India (the senior men's team) to the core. While India continued to dominate in Tests, despite missing out on the coveted WTC title in the inaugural cycle's finale, they were decent in ODIs but had a forgettable campaign in the T20 World Cup in UAE. Talking about Virat Kohli, the 33-year-old had a rather ordinary calendar year with the end quarter turning into a nightmare. The superstar cricketer, who remains the poster boy of Indian cricket, finished 2021 without being able to lead India to an ICC title and went on to dent his terms with BCCI and the current selection committee in early December. In addition, the right-hander ended without a hundred in international cricket (with his century drought lasting for over two years). ALSO READ | From conquering Aussies Down Under to T20 World Cup debacle: Team India in 2021 KING KOHLI BECOMES A PROUD FATHER BEFORE NATIONAL DUTY RESUMES The year started for Kohli with some needless noise on his much-talked about paternity leave. On January 11, Kohli turned proud father as he welcomed his first child, daughter named Vamika, along with wife Anushka Sharma. Watching India's glorious run in the Australia Tests Down Under by being miles away, Kohli returned to international cricket to take charge in the home Tests versus England. Losing his first Test of the year versus Joe Root & Co., Kohli inspired India's comeback as the hosts romped past the Englishmen in the remainder of the series to win the four-match series 3-1 and book a place in the WTC final. Kohli, however, ended the series with 172 runs, including two fifty-plus scores, at an average of 28.66. India then turned to the five T20Is and three ODIs against the same opposition. Facing a competitive Eoin Morgan-led side, India were tested before they won the series 3-2. The then Indian captain Kohli ended with 231 runs (most runs in bilateral T20Is involving Test-playing nations) to be adjudged the Player-of-the-Series. In the ODIs, Kohli had two good outings with two fifties, but continued to remain away from triple-figure knocks. He, however, led his troops to a 2-1 series win. He was tested to the core as captain in terms of his bowling changes and field settings throughout the series against the ODI World champions. IPL AMID COVID-19 SECOND WAVE The IPL 2021 edition was the next assignment for Kohli. Leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the right-hander started the season on a high with back-to-back victories. While RCB did lose the plot to an extend before the COVID-19 second wave halted the tournament, Kohli's numbers with the bat was pretty mediocre with 198 runs at 33 in 7 games. His strike-rate remained below 120 on six outings. GLORIOUS CHANCE RUINED IN WTC FINAL The biggest assignment for Kohli, both as captain and batsman, came when he led India to the WTC final versus New Zealand in Southampton in mid-June. While many termed India as the overwhelming favourites, it seemed as if Kohli would finally be able to break the national side's jinx of not being able to win an ICC title since 2013. However, all hopes were dented as his year remained ordinary. His returns with the bat were 44 and 13 as India lost convincingly by 8 wickets to lose the marquee title. Thus, the team had no choice but to revamp soon as the second cycle commenced with India's five Tests versus England in the United Kingdom, from August 3. THE HIGHS AGAINST HOSTS ENGLAND While India rode on KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma's batting performances, Kohli continued to remain below par despite few good innings. He averaged only 31.14 after the series was interrupted due to Covid crisis in Indian camp after the fourth and penultimate Test.

The action moved to the second and final leg of IPL 2021, in the UAE. Kohli returned to lead RCB after making two massive announcements. In mid-September, Kohli announced his decision to step aside as the T20I captain. He tweeted saying, "I have been fortunate enough to not only represent India but also lead the Indian Cricket Team to my utmost capability. I thank everyone who has supported me in my journey as the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team." "I couldn't have done it without them - the boys, the support staff, the selection committee, my coaches, and each and every Indian who prayed for us to win. Understanding workload is a very important thing and considering my immense workload over the last 8-9 years playing all 3 formats and captaining regularly for last 5-6 years, I feel I need to give myself space to be fully ready to lead the Indian Team in Test and ODI Cricket. I have given everything to the Team during my time as T20 Captain and I will continue to do so for the T20 Team as a batsman moving forward." "Of course, arriving at this decision took a lot of time. After a lot of contemplation and discussions with my close people, Ravi bhai and also Rohit, who have been an essential part of the leadership group, I've decided to step down as the T20 Captain after this T20 World Cup in Dubai in October. I have also spoken to the secretary Mr Jay Shah and the President of BCCI Mr Sourav Ganguly along with all the selectors about the same. I will continue to serve Indian Cricket and the Indian Team to the best of my ability." 🇮🇳 ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Ds7okjhj9J — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) September 16, 2021 × Thus, a prolonged dry spell with the bat, bio-bubble restrictions and burden of leading across formats hampered even someone of the statute of King Kohli.

No IPL title or ICC silverware, captaincy resignation and BCCI row: Reliving Virat Kohli's eventful 2021

<p>Team India is in a tricky position. Following the T20 World Cup in the UAE, the senior men's cricket team has undergone several changes within the leadership group. While Ravi Shastri's tenure as the head coach ended and was replaced by Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma took over as India's T20I captain after Virat Kohli's resignation.</p>

<p>Last week, Rohit was appointed as India's limited-overs captain, replacing Kohli in the ODI format as well. In addition, Hitman has replaced Ajinkya Rahane to become India's Test vice-captain. After so many changes, it is being reported that Kohli is set to miss the India-South Africa ODIs, to be held early next year, following the three Tests in the African nation.</p>

<p>With Kohli skipping the ODIs, many speculations have risen that all is not well between Kohli and Rohit post the ODI captaincy switch decision by the BCCI. However, a BCCI official has shunned all such reports of Kohli's unavailability and claimed that he hasn't sent any formal request to skip the ODIs versus the Proteas.</p>

<p>A man has been arrested by the Indian police for allegedly threatening to rape the nine-month-old daughter of cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma. The alleged threats were made after India's 10-wicket loss against the arch-rival Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From Kohli to bowler Mohammed Shami, the Indian cricketers faced a barrage of hate, abuses and were subjected to trolls on social media forums after India's first-ever World Cup defeat to Pakistan in the opening Super 12 stage match on October 24. The team eventually crashed out of the Twenty20 international tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Police said investigators from the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell arrested Akubathini Ramnagesh after his tweet targeting the cricketer's daughter went viral. The 23-year-old suspect is facing charges of sexual harassment, criminal intimidation, defamation and publishing obscene material. "He has been detained and is being brought to Mumbai," a police officer told AFP.&nbsp;</p>

Man, 23, arrested over allegedly threatening to rape Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's daughter

<p>Indian captain Virat Kohli has turned 33 on Friday (November 5). The right-hander remains the poster boy of Indian cricket and the cricketing fraternity has extended their warm wishes for the superstar cricketer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli made his international debut in 2008. While he did produce moments of brilliance and was part of the MS Dhoni-led Indian team's victorious 2011 ODI World Cup campaign, his rise became evident in world cricket since early 2012. He became the vice-captain of the limited-overs setup post his memorable 183 versus Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup and also won hearts for his aggressive approach versus the Australians.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli's limited-overs success is also inspiring as he averages over 50 in ODIs (59.07) and T20Is (52.01). In 2018, he became the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs whereas he also returned with the Player-of-the-Tournament awards in the last two T20 WCs, in 2014 and 2016.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli is also the leading run-getter in T20Is (3,225 runs). Overall, he has 70 international tons (43 in ODIs, 27 in Tests), third-most overall. Overall, he has 23,159 runs at the highest level.</p>

<p>As a captain, Kohli has led India to the 2017 Champions Trophy final and 2019 ODI WC semi-finals.&nbsp;Currently, he is leading the Men in Blue for the last time in the shortest format in the T20 WC 2021 edition, in the UAE. He will also be seen on the field on his 33rd birthday as India play Scotland in their penultimate group stage clash in the Super 12 round, on Friday evening at Dubai International Cricket Stadium Dubai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India will hope for a big win and Kohli to anchor the innings as well as marshal his troops emphatically to keep the one-time winners alive in the race for the semi-finals.&nbsp;</p>

While he hasn't led India to an ICC title so far, his efforts and overall records as Team India captain cannot be overlooked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As many of his former teammates and active players wished him on his 33rd birthday, his ladylove and wife Anushka Sharma also posted a heartfelt post for him on Instagram. She wrote, "No filter needed, for this photo and the way you lead your life. Your core is made of honesty and guts of steel. Courage that pales doubt into oblivion. I know no one who can pick themselves up from a dark place like you can. You grow better in every way because you hold on to nothing in you as permanent and are fearless. I know we are not ones to talk to each other through social media like this but sometimes I just want to scream and tell the world what an amazing man you are &nbsp;Fortunate are those who really truly know you. Thank you for making everything brighter and more beautiful&nbsp;<br />
Oh, and Happy Birthday cuteness!!"</p>

<p>To this, Kohli also reacted in an adorable manner and wrote, "You are my strength. You are my guiding force. Grateful to god everyday for us being together my love. I love you".</p>

On Friday (November 5), Virat Kohli turned 33. The Indian captain is a superstar in world cricket and the whole cricketing fraternity has wished him on his special day.

On Friday (November 5), Virat Kohli turned 33. The Indian captain is a superstar in world cricket and the whole cricketing fraternity has wished him on his special day. Playing for Team India since 2008, the right-hander remains the poster boy of Indian cricket for his consistency across formats, batting skills, captaincy and aggressive approach. Hence, his birthday remains a huge moment to celebrate for his avid fans worldwide. Kohli made his international debut in 2008. While he did produce some good performances and was part of India's victorious 2011 ODI World Cup campaign, he became a household name since early 2012. To date, Kohli has 23,159 international runs, including 70 centuries. In addition, he has most runs in T20Is and IPL (3,225 and 6,283 runs respectively), was the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs (achieved in 2018) and has an average of over 50 in ODIs and T20Is. ALSO READ | WATCH: Virat Kohli grooves to iconic Bollywood song during India-Afghanistan T20 WC tie Under Kohli, India have also achieved sizeable success across formats. He led India to Test series win in Australia in 2018-19, bilateral ODI series wins in South Africa and New Zealand, T20I series triumph in England, 2017 Champions Trophy final, 2019 ODI World Cup semi-finals and to the inaugural WTC final this year. While he hasn't led India to an ICC title so far, his efforts and overall records as Team India captain cannot be overlooked. As many of his former teammates and active players wished him on his 33rd birthday, his ladylove and wife Anushka Sharma also posted a heartfelt post for him on Instagram. She wrote, "No filter needed, for this photo and the way you lead your life. Your core is made of honesty and guts of steel. Courage that pales doubt into oblivion. I know no one who can pick themselves up from a dark place like you can. You grow better in every way because you hold on to nothing in you as permanent and are fearless. I know we are not ones to talk to each other through social media like this but sometimes I just want to scream and tell the world what an amazing man you are Fortunate are those who really truly know you. Thank you for making everything brighter and more beautiful Oh, and Happy Birthday cuteness!!" To this, Kohli also reacted in an adorable manner and wrote, "You are my strength. You are my guiding force. Grateful to god everyday for us being together my love. I love you".

Anushka Sharma scores 52 runs in 88 balls: Fans react as BCCI's post goes viral on Twitter

<p>Indian cricketers have been facing flak from all corners after the team's poor start to their campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021. While the players have been criticised for their on-field performances by fans and experts alike, some trolls have resorted to abuse and rape threats to family members of the players.</p>

<p>While Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami was targeted over his religion, Indian captain Virat Kohli's daughter recieved rape threats online. Some pathetic comments have been made against the Indian cricketers by trolls online but a nine-month-old getting abused is reflective of how&nbsp;hideous cyberbullies can be.</p>

<p>Taking cognisance of the reports of Kohli's daughter getting rape threats online, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Tuesday issued a notice to the Delhi Police, demanding the arrest of all accused. DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal termed the rape threats as &nbsp;“extremely shameful” while demanding an explanation from Delhi Police on action taken so far in the case.</p>

<p>"It's extremely shameful how Virat Kohli's nine-month-old daughter had to face rape threats online. This team has made us feel proud thousands of times, why such obnoxious behaviour when it lost?," Maliwal wrote in her tweet while attaching a picture of DCW's notice to Delhi Police.</p>
