After India lost to Pakistan at the ongoing T20 World Cup, there were many trolls who attacked cricketer Mohammed Shami online.
The cricketer had to face abuse due to his religion, which grabbed headlines. On Saturday, Indian national cricket team captain Virat Kohli spoke out against trolls. During a press conference, Kohli hit out at ‘spineless’ people saying that attacking someone in the name of religion is the most ‘pathetic’ thing to do. After his statement, actors Farhan Akhtar, Swara Bhasker, Nakuul Mehta and others took to Twitter to commend the skipper.
Sharing a picture of Kohli, Farhan wrote, ‘Well said captain.’ Whereas Swara retweeted Kohli’s speech with clapping emojis. Actor Nakuul Mehta further commented, “Kohli’s BEST KNOCK, yet!” Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra also shared the post, writing, ‘The captain has spoken!’
