“I was blamed for Virat Kohli's Performance,” Anushka Sharma Goes Emotional, Slams Engineer’s Claims on BCCI Selectors Serving her Tea!

Virat Kohli's wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, on Tuesday, took to Twitter to voice her say on her name being dragged into the affairs of Indian cricket after former India wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer claimed that he had seen the current Indian selection committee members serving tea to Anushka during the 2019 ICC World Cup.

“How are the selectors qualified? Between them, have they played about 10-12 Test matches. I didn’t even know one of the selectors during the World Cup and I asked him ‘who the hell he was’ because he was wearing the India blazer and he said he was one of the selectors. All they were doing was getting Anushka Sharma cups of tea,”  Engineer was quoted as saying by HT in an interview to TOI.

Reacting to his comment, Anushka wrote,  “…And the latest version of these ill-intended lies is that I was being served tea by selectors at matches during the World Cup! I came to one game during the World Cup and sat in the family box and not the selector's box as reported. But when has the truth mattered when it’s about convenience!..."

Being shared on October 31, Anushka's tweet has since garnered thousands of likes and retweets. "Polite reply yet being savage," commented one Twitter user. "You are such a brave woman. Glad that you finally spoke up, more power to you," wrote another.
