The threat came after Virat showed his support to Indian pacer Mohammed Shami after he was abused online by communal trolls. “There’s a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media that have no courage to actually speak to any individual in person. Behind our entities, go after our people through social media and making fun of people. That has become a source of entertainment in today’s world which is so unfortunate and so sad to see because this is literally the lowest level of human potential that one can operate at. That’s how I look at these people,” Virat had said. Also Read-‘Enough Is Enough’, Says Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Her New Post After Split With Naga Chaitanya
He had added, “We as individuals understand what we want to do on the field and the strength of character and mental toughness that we have. Precisely, what we are doing on the field and none of them are in the vicinity to even imagine doing something like that. They do not have the courage or spine to do that. So, that is how I see things. All this drama that is created on the outside is purely based on people’s frustrations and their lack of self-confidence, compassion. Hence, they find it so amusing to go after people. So, we as a group, understand how we need to stick together, back individuals and focus on our strengths.” Also Read-Deepika-Ranveer To SRK-Gauri: Top 10 Richest Bollywood Couples & Their Whopping Net Worth
