As Virat Kohli gears up for India’s next ODI challenge against Australia, his brother Vikas Kohli has made headlines with a straightforward yet powerful Instagram post.
While Virat was training hard at Perth’s Optus Stadium, Vikas’s message caught attention across India. It reflected the growing frustration within the Kohli family over a string of misleading rumours making rounds online.
Vikas Kohli’s Post Sparks Discussion
Vikas’s story was short but impactful. It read:
“I’m not surprised so much misinformation and fake news is floating around nowadays. Some people have far too much time on their hands to do that sort of thing. Good luck with that lot.”
Fans quickly began to speculate what prompted the post. Many believe it was a reaction to ongoing social media gossip about the Kohli family’s personal matters.
Property Rumours Trigger Speculation
Recently, reports claimed that Virat Kohli had handed over the power of attorney for his Gurugram property to his elder brother Vikas. It was said that Virat visited the Wazirabad tehsil office to complete the paperwork, transferring the General Power of Attorney (GPA) to Vikas’s name.
The growing buzz online, combined with baseless speculation, may have pushed Vikas to share his frustration publicly.
Virat Kohli Focused on Training
Amid all the noise, Virat Kohli remains entirely focused on cricket. He has already completed two intense training sessions in Perth ahead of the first ODI scheduled for 19th October.
On 16th October, he trained alongside Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, facing net bowlers from Perth. Though the start was slow, Virat found his rhythm by the end of the session.
Looking to Shine Again in ODIs
It’s been some time since Virat last played for India the Champions Trophy Final against New Zealand. He’s now eager to return to ODI action with renewed energy and focus.
Vikas Kohli’s post may have been brief, but it highlights how social media chatter can affect even the families of top athletes. Still, Virat remains composed and determined to deliver another strong performance in Australia.
Focus Returns to the Field
With 14,181 runs in 290 ODI innings, averaging 57.88 and smashing 51 centuries, Virat Kohli stands among cricket’s greatest batsmen. As India prepares for the series opener in Perth, all off-field rumours will fade once the first ball is bowled.
For Virat Kohli, the message is clear talk may trend, but performance defines legacy.
