Virat Kohli Gets Brutally Slammed for his Message on Diwali; Fans Call Him ‘Hypocrite’ Kohli

Team India captain Virat Kohli got slammed on social media for his message on Diwali. As the festival of lights began, cricketers from all across the world took to Twitter to wish the fans on the auspicious day.

Even Virat Kohli did the same; he shared a video on his social media handle preaching about the environment on festivals.

He posted a 18-second video on Twitter to wish the fans on Diwali saying, “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.”

Meanwhile, Kohli’s message for saving the environment came just a few days after he celebrated his birthday in the UAE with firecrackers. Soon after the video went viral, fans were quick to slam him for his hypocrisy. 

Below is the video and some of the reactions to Virat Kohli’s tweet:

it is the tradition to burst fire crackers after winning the trophy in IPL. To save the environment he hasn't won the IPL trophy yet. Truly a legend 🙏 https://t.co/3PRvhep2mt

I shall travel in Chartered planes, I shall own 100s of fuel guzzling cars, ACs will be switched on in my my house years round. But you, you mustn't celebrate your festival properly. Oh, and happy diwali.#BallPellGyaanNahi https://t.co/58krdj1lYt

Cricket fields don't require cutting trees. Water is not wasted. IPL doesn't burst crackers. Cars, team buses & ✈️don't use up fossil fuel. Marriages n adv don't burst crackers. Prods endorsed by dem r all eco friendly. Environment destroyed only due 2 bursting crackers on Diwali https://t.co/Wrr0d2PLWT

You play cricket, we gave you love, adulation, status, endorsements and recognition.

NEVER, EVER make the mistake of imagining you are a social, religious or thought leader of the Hindus.

Stop preaching, you dont have the credentials for it. https://t.co/pNJajfkBsg

Now even he has also joined this category of people who give morality lessons during #festivals.

Cricket captains of other countries are proud of their respective countries cultures but he wants to dictate others on how to celebrate festivals. How ridiculous https://t.co/z6A5LyuEvu

Let's call a spade a spade. This man Kohli doesn't have a spine to tell people to stop slaughtering animals for some festival but will only tell me to stop using crackers because animals are scared of sound. So fear of sound of animals >>>>>> Life.

This wokeness is a disease. https://t.co/ll9VLbspny

Do crackers bursting on this hypocrite birthday emit oxygen? Boycott hypocrite Virat Kohli and expose his double standards. https://t.co/WCtxhux5W7
