Angry Fans Slam Shoaib Akhtar After He Said 'Virat Shouldn't Have Married Anushka So Early'
Shoaib Akhtar blamed Virat Kohli's marriage with Anushka Shamra for his bad performance on the cricket field. Fans are angry that he commented on his personal life. Some even gave Sachin Tendulkar's example.
From World Cup 2015 when she would come to the stadium to support Virat Kohli to IPL matches, Anushka Sharma has been targeted many times for Virat's performances on the field.
"Inhone lockdown main toh bas Anushka ki gendon ki practise ki hain."
This is what Sunil Gavaskar had said.
Anushka was also blamed when India lost a match to Pakistan. Trolls said that this happened because she did not keep a Karwa Chauth Vrat for Virat.

Now Shoaib Akhtar has blamed Anushka Shamra for his bad performance on the field.
"I would have not even married if I were in his (Virat Kohli) place. I had just scored runs and enjoyed cricket, these 10-12 years of cricket are different time and doesn¡¯t come again, I am not saying getting married is wrong but If you are playing for India, you would have enjoyed a time a little. Fans are crazy about Kohli and he had to maintain that love he is getting for the last 20 years," he told Dainik Jagran.

"There is pressure from the children, of the family. As the responsibility increases, so does the pressure. Cricketers have a short career span of 14-15 years in which you stay at the peak for five-six years. Those years of Virat have passed, now he has to struggle," he said adding that he should have only got married after retirement.
Fans are angry at his statement.
Bhai kisi ne puchaa??

What has performance got to do with marriage? Cheapos drag the wives of cricketers in between. I am no fan of Anushka but I feel for her for receiving such hate. Another proof that there are so many misogynists in the society.

So convenient to drag his self-made, talented, extremely successful wife into the equation. Maybe its a mentality thing among these Pakis
