Virat Kohli refrains from giving ‘personal tips’ on Diwali, netizens thank him for not virtue signaling and respond with cracker jibes

People were pleasantly surprised by the wish, especially since only days earlier, Virat Kohli had said that he will share 'personal tips' on how to celebrate a 'meaningful Diwali'. However, the batsman appears to have abandoned the futile pursuit.

Virat Kohli wished people a happy Diwali on Thursday. Contrary to expectations, the Indian cricket captain kept his message short and simple. It could even be considered sweet, an adjective that is generally not used to describe Kohli’s words.

People were pleasantly surprised by the wish, especially since only days earlier, Virat Kohli had said that he will share ‘personal tips’ on how to celebrate a ‘meaningful Diwali’. However, the batsman appears to have abandoned the futile pursuit.

And they wished the captain, who has been going through troubled times recently, a very happy Diwali in turn.

Some, however, did respond to the Diwali wish with cracker jibes.

Virat Kohli had received a lot of stick from fans recently for his comments on matters off the pitch. While the Indian cricket team has come under the scanner for its defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand, Virat Kohli was at the receiving end of criticism even before the tournament began.

Kohli had said that he will share tips on how to celebrate a ‘meaningful Diwali’ and given his previous anti-cracker comments, he was slammed for it by people on social media.
