Indian captain Virat Kohli is currently on a high after clinching the Test, ODI and T20I formats against Sri Lanka, thus ensuring a clean sweep in the series.

Kohli, who is a sports icon in the country, recently took to Twitter to wish all his 'teachers' on Teacher's Day. In his post, Virat Kohli said, 'To all the teachers around the world and especially to the ones in the Cricket World. ???? #HappyTeachersDay.'

Virat Kohli had posted a photo of him sitting with a background of the names of several legendary cricketers. However, his former coach Anil Kumble was not part of the list.

Twitterati immediately replied to Virat Kohli's post, slamming him for not including the Indian spin legend in his list.

Anil Kumble, who was the head coach of the Indian cricket team, stepped down from his post only two days after India lost the Champions Trophy final to Pakistan in June this year. Ravi Shastri, who was the coach before Anil Kumble, was called back to coach Team India.
