In his remarkable career, Indian veteran Virat Kohli has made consecutive ODI ducks against Australia. Actress Anushka Sharma, his wife, is the target of criticism once more. Since Anushka and Kohli made their relationship public, and particularly after they were married in 2017, she has unjustly taken the brunt of Kohli’s on-field disappointments.
Even after all these years, trolls continue to criticize Anushka, claiming that she should be held accountable for Kohli’s recent failings against Australia. But her supporters have stood up for her. When one searches for Anushka’s name on social media, one finds a plethora of postings and memes that unjustly blame her for the former Indian captain’s performance.
Several of the posts include titles that read, “Virat Kohli is a living example of how having the wrong partner can completely destroy your career,” and “I blame Anushka Sharma for his failure.” Making him a “gentleman” would make him feel better. But what did it cost? She was even accused by some of causing “irreparable damage” to his career. A horrifying person even wrote, “If God is real, she died today in London,” wishing for her death.
Supporters of Anushka, however, were not amenable to it. They vehemently denounced the misogyny that was evident in those remarks. It’s adorable how men’s frail egos want a woman to place the blame on whenever their favorite player has a rough day, a Threads member commented. Another said, “That girl has been the target of trolling ever since they started dating.” These people only want to point the finger onto others for their favorites’ subpar performance.
After his second consecutive duck, an X user said, “Shame on Kohli fans for dragging his wife Anushka Sharma.”
Some fans even conjectured that the decision by Kohli and Anushka to go to London may have been influenced by this ongoing taunting. The couple were married in 2017, in case you didn’t know. Their two children, a male named Akaay and a daughter named Vamika, are a blessing.
The pair keeps their personal lives secret and maintains a low profile.
