T20 World Cup 2022: "Itna jealousy kyun hai" - Twitterati slam Gautam Gambhir for his recent comments on Virat Kohli
Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir was brutally trolled on social media for his comments on Virat Kohli as India gear up for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
Gambhir recently fired shots at the talismanic scorer, urging the former Indian captain to score runs for the team and not for individual records. Speaking ahead of the warm-up game against Australia on Star Sports, the cricketer-turned-politician stated:
"Make runs that help Indian win the wc, don’t concentrate on individual records."
The comments didn't go well with many Indian fans who slammed Gambhir on Twitter. While a few stated that the former cricketer is jealous of Kohli, others highlighted his batting records in T20 World Cups.
Here are some of the reactions:
One fan asked:

@madaddie24 One thing is noticeable Gambhir & Yuvraj have some grudge towards Kohli. They never criticize Rohit not a single time but there standard for Virat is Demi god high
Does Gambhir have the balls to criticize Rohit Sharma?
