Virat Kohli, the former Team India skipper, called out the Times of India for publishing false information about him. The media giant claimed that the top batter and his wife, Anushka Sharma, are constructing a cricket pitch at their property in Alibaug.
Recently, Virat Kohli’s farmhouse in Alibaug was covered extensively by the media. A few sources, like TOI, claimed that he was planning on building a field for playing cricket at the farmhouse but most reported that he is building a new home.
However, Virat Kohli drew attention to the TOI report and claimed that even the media, which he has read since he was a child, are disseminating false information. He shared a screenshot of the article on his Instagram page with the following caption, “Bachpan se jo akhbar pada hai, vo bhi fake news chaapne lage ab.”
Virat Kohli and tackling fake news
It appears that Virat Kohli is out to disprove the false reports. He just denounced all of the rumours concerning his revenues via social media. According to a number of media publications, the Indian government makes 11.4 crores for each Instagram post. He posted on Twitter removing all the false claims as he said, “While I am grateful and indebted to all that I’ve received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is not true.”
During the recent West Indies trip, Kohli was spotted in action. In two Test matches, he had scorching innings, blasting fifty during the first game as well as an unprecedented century in the second. Later, he was denied a chance to bat during the ODI series.
While Virat Kohli is presently taking advantage of his time off, he has been working hard at the gym. He’ll be witnessed in action in 2023 at the Asia Cup. He will be of utmost importance to the team during the competition. The Indian team will play in the ODI World Cup following the Asia Cup, which will be contested in their home country, raising hopes for the team.
