Grey Beard, No Hunger: Kohli Bashed for Practice?

A recent picture of Virat Kohli practising at Lord’s with a net bowler has gone viral on social media. While his PR team circulated it to create a buzz, the image has received mixed reactions from fans online.

Fans Criticise Virat’s Appearance

In the photo, Virat appears tired with a mostly grey beard. Some fans felt he lacked the usual spark in his eyes. While ageing is natural, critics argued that grooming and presentation could have made a stronger statement ahead of the upcoming ODIs.

Unfair Trolls Target Anushka Sharma

As expected, some social media users targeted Anushka Sharma, blaming her for Virat’s supposed “lack of hunger.” Experts and fans caution that such cheap personal attacks are unnecessary and should not be encouraged under any circumstance.

Calls for Virat to Respond

Many suggest that Virat should address the trolling directly and clarify his stance. Responding thoughtfully can help curb misinformation and maintain respect while keeping fans engaged in a healthy discussion.

Maintaining Professional Standards

Criticism of performance is natural and can help keep players accountable. However, personal attacks and blaming family members distract from the real discussion about the game. Fans are reminded to focus on cricket and professional performance.
