After Kohli extended his support to Mohammed Shami and called out religious discrimination, now-deleted Twitter account @Criccrazyygirl issued rape threats to Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma's nine-month-old daughter.
Virat Kholi, who came out in support of his teammate as he was being attacked online for India's defeat against Pakistan in the recently conducted T20 World Cup match.
In a blistering reply to those who were blaming Shami for India's defeat, Kohli said, "To me, attacking someone over religion is the most, I would say, the pathetic thing that one can do. Everyone has the right to express their opinion and what they feel about a particular situation. I have never ever thought of discriminating against anyone over their religion and that is a very sacred and personal thing to every human being."
“People bring out their frustration in this way. They have no understanding of what we do as an individual. They have no understanding of how much effort we put into the field. They have no understanding of the fact that someone like Mohammed Shami has won India in the number of matches in the last few years and he is our primary bowlers along with Jasprit Bumrah when it comes to making an impact in the game," he further said.
While the identity of the Twitter account holder is yet to be verified, the screenshots of the rape threat issued against a nine-month-old girl have been floating all over social media.
