Where is Kohli's sense of humor?
Kohli read out a tweet that said: "Over-rated batsman and personally I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians."
Kohli's reply to the same was shocking. "Okay, I don't think you should live in India then. You should go and live somewhere else. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries?"

Quite a valid point!
Much the same way people of Indian origin in Australia and England cheer for India whilst enjoying the perks of being citizens of those countries. What say @imVkohli ? Please ask all NRIs to support the baggy green on your tour to Australia next month https://t.co/ZPlLWmohc9
