New Delhi, Nov 7 (IBNS): Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli, who is known for his on-field aggression, was trolled after he asked a person to leave the country for not liking Indian batsmen.

Virat said this while he was interacting with his fans through virtual world on the occasion of launching his own application.

In a video, which went viral on internet, Virat could be seen reading out the statement of the person who drawn ire from the skipper. According to Virat, the person said: "(Virat Kohli is an) Overrated batsman. I have personally seen nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians."

Though Virat didn't take any offence for calling him an "overrated batsman", he slammed the critic for liking English and Australian batsmen more than the Indians.

In reply, the skipper said: "Okay. I don't think that you should live in India. You should go and live somewhere else you know. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries. But 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." (sic)

As the video went viral on internet, several Twitterati trolled Virat.

Trolls:

Sethupathi tweeted, "If we love other countries players,we want to leave our country!! Just because you score huge runs, DOESN'T means your acts are right all the times! Sometimes think twice making such comments! @imVkohli #ViratKohli "

U become a great player with ur on field displays..u become a legend how u conduct urself off it"

Mayank Saxena said: "And yes dear @imVkohli you must leave the country if you can't respect individual freedom of choice and opinion and free speech as given to us as a right by #indianconstitution #ViratKohli #Virat #Kohli"

A Twitter user with name justlkdat said: "Virat kohli has shown his true colours ...This nonchalant seeming video will haunt this guy for life.... Who the hell is virat kohli to ask people to leave this country just because they don't like him or his batting..... Sheer stupidity "
