Sydney:&nbsp;Former India captain Sourav Ganguly&nbsp;today lashed out at people who attacked Anushka Sharma for&nbsp;Virat Kohli's failure with the bat in the cricket World Cup 2015&nbsp;semifinal against Australia, saying that it showed their&nbsp;immaturity.
After actress Anushka was attacked by the twitterati,&nbsp;Ganguly said it's sad to see the mindset of such people.
"What wrong Anushka has done? She had only gone to see a&nbsp;cricket match like the families of other players. It is unfair&nbsp;to blame him for Kohli's performance. It is the immaturity of&nbsp;people (criticising Anushka)," said the former captain.&nbsp;
"When two people are in love, there is nothing wrong in&nbsp;that," Ganguly added.

Kohli scored just one run as India were thrashed by&nbsp;Australia by 95 runs in the second semifinal of the cricket&nbsp;World Cup at the SCG.&nbsp;
Ganguly had some plain talk about Indian team's weakness&nbsp;and he came down hard on the likes of Ravindra Jadeja who came&nbsp;a cropper in the tournament.
"We have some holes in the Indian team and we need to&nbsp;work on them. You can cover up things but all these are issues&nbsp;for the Indian team to be a better side so that they can do&nbsp;better in the next World Cup. We have to fix these weaknesses," he said.
"To be frank, Mohit Sharma does not look the class of&nbsp;Umesh Yadav or Mohammed Shami though many think he is a great&nbsp;potential. And Ravindra Jadeja has to either get the wickets&nbsp;and scored runs at number seven and he has not done either.
"That is the difference of India as compared to other&nbsp;countries. You see Australia has the likes of Glenn Maxwell or&nbsp;Mitchell Johnson who can take wickets and scored runs at the&nbsp;tail of the batting order. We don't have them," he added.&nbsp;
