Indian captain Virat Kholi has been the trending topic on the internet these days. From performing on the field to expressing love about his girlfriend Anushka Sharma and not to mention the recent candid interview he did with Kunal Kapoor has stole the hearts of all his fans, but there is one recent incident that expected twitter reactions but seems he got away with it.
Recently, he was spotted eating chewing gum during the National Anthem before the Test match against Sri Lanka in Eden Gardens Kolkata. The video has been shared by many cricket fans and since then many people also found that this is something disrespectful with regard to the country’s pride.
The whole Indian team was standing and listening to the “Jana Gana Mana” and Virat was seen eating the chewing gum casually and the “eagle eyes” of few fans caught him eating and they immediately recorded a video of him eating.
Earlier a similar incident took place where cricketer Parvez Rasool had faced criticism who made his debut in the international cricket and twitterati’s went all furious about him also chewing the gum.
Dear @BCCI ,
If Parvez Rasool can't sing India's national anthem, chews gum while it's being played, why should he wear India's jersey?

DISAPPOINTED to see Parvez Rasool standing at ease & chewing gum during national anthem. Can wear India jersey, can't sing anthem? #INDvENG

But in the case of Virat, people did not make a big deal out of it now because this is not something new and like I said he is the captain of the Indian cricket team so there is a soft corner always.
