Watch: Virat Kohli tells fan to 'leave India' for liking foreign batsmen more

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who has been rested from the ongoing three-match T20I series against West Indies, sparked a controversy after he asked a fan to leave India for liking foreign batsmen more. 

In a video that is doing rounds on the Internet, Kohli can be seen asking the fan to set the priorities right or should leave the country for not liking the national cricket team.

 As per media reports, the video was recorded by the 30-year-old as part of the promotions for his newly launched app, Virat Kohli Official App. The application was launched on Kohli’s 30th birthday on Monday.

“Over-rated batsman and personally I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians,” Virat Kohli read out the fans tweet.

In response, Virat said, “Okay, I don’t think you should live in India then… you should go and live somewhere else no. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries? I don’t mind you not liking me but I don’t think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right.”

The reply did not go down well with the Twitterati, who lamented and attacked Kohli for telling someone to leave the country just because he/she doesn't like Indian batsmen.
