Virat Kohli Speaks Up For Anushka Sharma

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma might have broken last month, but they still have each other's backs.

After garnering universal appreciation for his stunning innings against Australia on Sunday in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Kohli has now stood up for his ex lady love.

On Monday afternoon, he tweeted, "Shame on people for trolling @AnushkaSharma non-stop. Have some compassion. She has always only given me positivity."

Kohli also posted a message on his Instagram supporting the actress.

Shame on those people who have been having a go at anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated. Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig. And i dont need any respect for this post. Have some compassion and respect her. Think of how your sister or girlfriend or wife would feel if someone trolled them and very conveniently rubbished them in public. #nocompassion#nocommonsense

Sharma, who was in a relationship with Kohli for nearly two years, is often the target of trolls on social media who crack jokes at her expense whenever India is playing.
