The Indian team received a fair share of criticism for their horrendous performance in the Champions Trophy final against Pakistan on June 18 which they lost by 180 runs.
Actress Rakhi Sawant is the latest to lash out at Indian boys, especially Virat Kohli. The 38-year-old was furious that Virat didn’t bring his ‘A’ game into play in the final.
“What is wrong with you Virat Kohli? This is about the entire country, which loves you. People bet so much during an India-Pakistan game and so many of them lost the bet. There were speculations that India will thrash Pakistan. Never in our dreams did we think that we will lose by 180 runs,” Rakhi Sawant said.
Coach Anil Kumble quits immediately after the Champions Trophy and made it clear on Twitter that the rift between him and Virat was the reason behind his resignation.
Rakhi Sawant expressed her opinion about this saying, “Kumble just resigned, that means there is a problem with you (Virat). From now on I will make sure I am present at the ground so that you play well. We were overconfident because we were having a winning streak.”
Rakhi Sawant even accused Virat Kohli and other players of smoking and drinking a night before the final, “Hence, the players they partied all night, they drank. Next day how do you expect them to score when their lungs are burning. If your liver and lungs do not work how do you expect to score runs. Virat Kohli make sure you drink less and smoke less. If there is a problem, Virat make me the captain. I will not allow your eyes to wander, only then will you play good cricket,”
