The second Test between India and Bangladesh will be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Both teams have reached Kanpur for this match. Team India stepped on Kanpur soil on Tuesday and all the players were given a grand welcome. Especially the warmth of seeing, meeting and giving flowers to Virat Kohli was on a different level. However, Virat Kohli responded to this love from the Kanpur fans in a way that no one might have expected. A video of Virat Kohli is going viral on social media in which a fan gives him a flower and the next moment another fan tries to shake his hand but then Virat Kohli suddenly says – Sir, I have only two hands. Not only this, Virat gives those flowers to another officer and leaves.
Fans got angry with Virat
This video of Virat Kohli is going viral on social media and many fans are not liking his action. Many people are trolling him for this attitude. One fan even said that ‘everyone starts to think of himself as God after getting money.’
He wasn’t polite he was quite sarcastic. Actually after getting money everyone has started to consider themselves god.

So is this why Virat left India?
After seeing this attitude of Virat Kohli, the biggest question is whether this is the reason why this player has started living outside India? Virat Kohli had started living in London even before the birth of his son Akay. After this he played the T20 World Cup and returned to London soon after making Team India the champion. He returned to London again after playing the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Now Virat lives more in London than India. It is not yet known whether he has shifted to London but it is certain that Virat, Anushka and their children are living there now.
Virat Kohli’s reason for staying there is not yet known but in an interview he definitely said that he misses walking around the streets and shopping. He said that he has hardly walked on the roads of India. Obviously, as soon as Virat Kohli hits the road in India, fans will flock to watch him, which is why this player can’t get out easily. But Virat Kohli is definitely seen roaming the streets in London. He eats in restaurants and goes shopping with his family like normal people. He has also been seen buying flowers at roadside shops. Looks like Virat now prefers a place where people don’t harass him in public and that won’t happen in India.

Kanpur incident is proof of that. The best cricketer not only of the country but of the world came to Kanpur and a fan tried to shake his hand and Virat gave him a strange reply and left. People are finding this reaction of Virat strange but also have to understand that this player also needs some space now.
