Skipper Virat Kohli and his wife and bollywood actress Anushka Sharma have been on the targeting radar of the fans after Virat shared a video of Anushka scolding a man for littering on the road. Though captain Kohli has been in superb form with the bat but his snaps with his wife draw attention and criticism from the fans.
Before the start of the practise game against Essex at Chlemsford, there were reports that BCCI had asked the cricketers to part ways from their family or close ones for the starting three test against England. But Anushka Sharma was there with the team at the High Commission of India in London that draw criticism from the twitterverse.

This was the tweet shared by BCCI on which Anushka is clearly seen in the front row alongside Virat Kohli, which was not entertained by the passionate Indian fans. BCCI wrote Team India in the caption that also went wrong with the fans.
Negative reactions
Vice captain is in last row and First Lady of Indian cricket is in front row. These people giving lecture online few days back. @AnushkaSharma

Very unprofessional @BCCI. This doesn’t look sound. Where is the Vice Caption hidden? Who is anushka Sharma in Indian Cricket. Why is she given this position? She is a celebrity doesn’t mean she hold more imprtance than a Vice caption of the cricket team! Any answers @BCCI
