Social media was abuzz with Virat Kohli for this sensational knock. Be it, cricketers, be it fans, everyone was completely in awe of Virat Kohli for that ‘knock for the ages.’ But still, the Gambhir was a guy who hesitated to mention the name of Virat Kohli in his congratulatory tweet for team India.

“No better way to begin the WC! A stunning performance,” read the tweet posted by Gautam Gambhir on his official Twitter handle just after India’s win against Pakistan.

Although, this tweet from Gambhir didn’t go down well with the Indian cricket fans who were in all praise of Virat Kohli, and they took no time in lashing out at the former southpaw for his attitude.
