Indian captain Virat Kohli on last day took to Twitter to extend his Diwali greetings to his followers.
He also urged them not to burst crackers in order to protect the environment. However, the skipper was called out for his message on social media and was heavily trolled.
Here's how fans who did not take a liking to Kohli's message reacted to the video:
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— Maya (@Sharanyashettyy) November 14, 2020
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— Nisheeth Sharan (@nisheethsharan) November 14, 2020
