Mumbai: In a thrilling match held in Dubai, India secured their second victory in the ICC Champions Trophy by defeating both Pakistan and Bangladesh. The star of the match was none other than the talented Virat Kohli, who scored an unbeaten 100 runs off 111 balls, including seven fours. This marked his 51st ODI century and a historic milestone, making him only the third cricketer after legends Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara to cross 14,000 ODI runs. The fans couldn't contain their excitement and celebrated Kohli's achievement like a festival.
Among the many admirers was the renowned National Award-winning lyricist Javed Akhtar, who took to social media to praise Kohli and Team India. In a post on X, Akhtar wrote, "Virat Kohli Zindabad, we are very proud of you." However, his post also attracted some negative comments from trolls.
One user sarcastically commented, "Aaj suraj kaha se nikla. Andar se dukh hoga apko to." (Translation: "Where did the sun rise today? You must be feeling sad inside.") But Akhtar, known for his sharp wit, didn't let this comment slide and fired back, "Tumhari message se pata lagta hai ke kaisay maa boop ki aulad ho aur tumhare parivar ne tum ko kya sanskaari diye hain." (Translation: "Your message shows what kind of upbringing you have and the values your family instilled in you.")
In response to another troll, he wrote, "When your ancestors were licking the boots of the British, mine were fighting for independence and enduring jail and exile. My blood carries the legacy of freedom fighters, while yours carries that of British loyalists. Never forget this difference."
Despite the criticism, Akhtar remained firm in his stance, celebrating Kohli's achievement while silencing his detractors. It's clear that Kohli's incredible performance has not only brought joy to his fans, but also sparked a sense of pride and patriotism in them. And with each victory, Team India continues to make the nation proud.
