Virat Kohli’s brother shares a cryptic post on social media that reignited debate around Virat Kohli’s career decisions ahead of his return to international cricket.
Ace India batter Virat Kohli’s brother, Vikas Kohli, on Thursday posted a cryptic message on Threads, suggesting that some people depend on discussing the former India captain for their livelihood. The post came just days before Virat is set to return to international cricket in the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand later this week.
Without naming anyone, Vikas shared a pointed message that quickly went viral and stirred fresh debate on social media over Virat Kohli’s career choices.
“SEEMS LIKE LOGON KI DAAL ROTI NAHI CHALTI…. BINA VIRAT KOHLI KA NAAM LIYE HUE….”, Vikas wrote.
Although the post did not directly mention anyone, its timing led many to link it with recent remarks made by former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. Earlier this week, Manjrekar expressed disappointment over Kohli’s decision to retire from Test cricket, suggesting that the former skipper could have shown more determination by attempting to regain his red-ball form instead of ending his Test career.
