Virat Kohli says he will share tips on how to celebrate a ‘meaningful’ Diwali, netizens hit back, say he needs tips on captaincy and how to win IPL

Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli announced on social media that he will be sharing “personal tips” in the coming days on how to celebrate a “meaningful” Diwali. People were not pleased with the message as last year, Virat Kohli had campaigned against firecrackers and they anticipated that he would share a similar message this year as well.

People on social media hit back saying that Kohli should focus on the upcoming T20 World Cup instead of preaching sermons on how to celebrate Diwali.

Virat Kohli is yet to win an ICC trophy as a captain and has never won the Indian Premier League. He has quit the captaincy of Royal Challengers Bangalore and will step down as the captain of Indian T20 team following the World Cup.
