The Tweet has received supports from thousands of fans more with netizens appreciating the cricketer for his take on pointless ban on firecrackers.

Here it is worth mentioning that Kohli, earlier this month shared a video on his social media to advise the people to ensure a safe Diwali and avoid the bursting of firecrackers.

However, the netizens weren’t happy with the Indian skipper’s message, and they trolled him for the same and asked him to focus on his game and help India win the T20 World Cup.

Talking about India vs Pakistan game, India were offered to bat first after losing the toss. India, batting first were restricted to a modest total of 151/7 in the first innings. In reply, Pakistan openers Mohammad Rizwan (79*) and skipper Babar Azam (68*) helped Pakistan to a memorable victory as they chased the target with 13 balls to spare.
