Former India skipper Virat Kohli is no doubt a heartthrob for the fans. Over the year, a lot of his female fans have simped over him for his looks. Meanwhile, a fan went too far and went on to kiss his statue. Not to forget, there have been statues of Kohli whether in Madame Tussauds or other parts of the world.
Meanwhile, the incident has created an uproar on social media. A lot of netizens have been bashing the fan for her actions. They feel that in an era of #MeToo and how consent is important irrespective of gender, they feel that the action was absolutely uncalled for. Let's have a look at how fans have reacted on the matter.

Virat Kohli became the fastest to reach 25000 international runs
Meanwhile, Kohli recently-become the fastest player to reach 25000 international runs. The right-hander did it during the second Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series. He left behind players such as Sachin Tendulkar (34,357 from 664 matches), Sri Lankans Kumar Sangakkara (28,016 from 594 matches), and Mahela Jayawardene (25,957 from 652 matches), Australian Ricky Ponting (27,483 from 560 matches) and South Africaโs Jacques Kallis (25,534 from 519 matches).
The Delhi player averages 53-plus average while making 25000-plus runs, the highest among the members of the exclusive club with Kallis second at 49.10. Meanwhile, his dismissal in the first innings of the game became a matter of debate. Apparently, while batting on 44, he was given lbw by the on-field umpire. The 2008 U19 World Cup winner decided to challenge the decision.
However, despite having enough evidence that the ball was hitting the bat and pad at the same time, he was given out. It created a massive uproar on social media. With this, his wait for the 28th Test century continues which is going on since November 2019. Meanwhile, after finishing the second Test on February 19, both India and Australia will get enough time to rest. The next game will start on March 1 in Indore
