Italian footballer Agata Centasso had a sweet moment planned for Virat Kohli’s 36th birthday. She took to social media to wish the Indian cricket superstar, joining millions of fans and celebs who were celebrating the big day. But her nice gesture didn’t go as planned. Some trolls showed up, and Agata wasn’t too happy about it.
Agata Centasso Questions Trolls After Wishing Virat Kohli on His Birthday
On November 5, Agata tweeted a simple message to Virat Kohli, saying, “@imVkohli, happy birthday from a fan in Italy. All the best to you.”
One’d think it’d be no big deal, right? Just a friendly shout-out from one sports star to another. But a few people took it the wrong way, dropping some negative comments.
Here’s a look at a few reactions:
Agata Claps Back at the Trolls
Not one to keep quiet, Agata responded with a follow-up post. She shared her disappointment, saying,
“Every time I post something about Virat Kohli or cricket, there’s always someone bringing negativity. I honestly don’t understand why. Namaste”
That post got people talking. Many fans jumped in to support her, saying trolls shouldn’t ruin a nice message.
Kohli’s Rough Patch Against New Zealand
Meanwhile, it’s been a tough season for Kohli, too. Recently, India was swept 3-0 by New Zealand in a home Test series, and Kohli had a tough time with the bat, scoring just 93 runs in six innings. Still, he’s got die-hard fans worldwide, like Agata, who stick by him through thick and thin.
After Agata’s post, a lot of fans rallied behind her, saying her gesture was kind and trolls should let it be. It’s clear both Agata and Kohli have a big support system.
