In 2018, Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed shared a post on social media that has resurfaced amidst her recent criticism of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. The post, which has gained widespread attention, stated that Virat Kohli, a popular Indian cricketer, plays a "British game." Mohamed's comment came after Kohli responded to a fan who expressed a preference for English and Australian batsmen.
Mohamed's tweet was a subtle jab at Kohli's success in the sport, as he has made millions by endorsing foreign brands and even got married in Italy. She also pointed out that Kohli named a South African cricketer and a German tennis player as his favorites, despite being a proud Indian. Her post was in reference to an incident where Kohli was reading fan messages and came across one that labeled him as an "overrated batsman."
Kohli's response to the fan's remark caused quite a stir, as he questioned why the person was living in India if they preferred foreign players. He even went on to say that the fan should "get their priorities right" instead of liking other countries. This incident gained even more attention after Mohamed's recent controversy, where she deleted a post that stated, "Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course, the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had!"
Mohamed's comment towards Sharma sparked strong reactions online, with many pointing out the irony of her previous tweet about Kohli. Some even criticized her for targeting Sharma's weight and his performance as a captain. The old tweet has resurfaced amidst the ongoing debate around foreign players in Indian cricket and the national team's current leadership.
