Now, people online have been calling Virat a ‘hypocrite’ after a video of crackers being burst on his birthday surfaced on the internet.
Happy Birthday Captain Kohli
Happy faces and positive vibes. The RCB family put together a special video to celebrate King Kohli’s birthday at 12 midnight. 🤴🏽❤️#PlayBold #IPL2020 #WeAreChallengers #Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/ViaI9eItDV

It all started when the official Instagram handle of the IPL team RCB shared a birthday clip of Virat. In the clip, one can see crackers being burst somewhere in Dubai right before Kohli and wife Anushka are about to cut his birthday cake.
Twitterati surely got angry and furiously reminded the captain of not practicing what he preached.
That’s in a different country it’s okay to pollute UAE 😂

Hope you are all enjoying a happy and peaceful Diwali with family and friends.🪔 To clarify, the fireworks shown in RCB’s recent celebratory video was archival footage of UAE’s Flag Day celebrations. RCB continues to work hard to protect the environment like we’ve over the years.
