Virat Kohli, captain of the Indian cricket team had recently taken to Twitter to post a message on Diwali wishing his fans for the festive season. In his video message on Twitter, Virat Kohli said, " A very happy Diwali from me to you and your families. May God bless you with peace, prosperity and happiness, this Diwali. Please remember, do not burst crackers, protect the environment and have fun at home with your loved ones with a simple diya and sweets on this auspicious occasion. God bless you all, take care."

However, this message did not go down too well with Kohli's fans on Twitter who ended up trolling the star batsman. A video surfaced online too, as part of a tweet which read, "Why do they always have an issue with Hindu festivals whether it's Diwali or Holi." The video showed how Royal Challengers Bangalore - the team that Virat Kohli captains in the IPL, gave their skipper a huge surprise on his birthday, earlier this month on 5th. The video showed how crackers were burst in Dubai to celebrate Kohli's birthday. Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma was also present for his birthday in UAE. Fans termed Kohli a 'hypocrite' and told him to practice what he preaches.
