Kohli had arrived in England with a big reputation, having doing very well in all three formats of the game. But he failed miserably with the bat, scoring just 134 runs (2 ducks) in 10 innings. India's vice-captain Virat Kohli was given permission for his high-profile girlfriend Anushka Sharma to accompany him during the first few Tests against England, is now getting linked to distraction.
As per team manager Sunil Dev was quoted as saying that "I would have objected to her presence, but was helpless when I realised that permission was granted by BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) secretary Sanjay Patel."
After India's humiliating loss 3-1 test series loss to England, the BCCI has decided that it will take some harsh action against the long stay by players' wives and girlfriends. The BCCI has decided that girlfriends won't be allowed on tours anymore, while wives can also only stay for a limited period of time.
While it's perfectly fair to say that spousal activities must take a backseat during a tour, it does seem a little unfair that the board decided not to spell this out at the beginning of the series itself. To say that the team couldn't hit the nets and thus eventually lost, because the women were being clingy, sounds a little clichéd.
Rumour has it that Anushka Sharma is completely upset for being blamed for her alleged boyfriend Virat Kohli’s dismal performance in the series against England. Apparently, some people from the cricket fraternity suggested that Virat was distracted by his ladylove and could not concentrate on his game.
Interestingly, sources close to the actress suggest that Anushka wasn't distracted when Virat visited her on the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do and so, she is not ready to be blamed for a distraction she didn't cause.
Amul Girl would continue to work with all players through her print ads without distracting any players and sharing butter in her own style.
