Virat Kohli faced online backlash after attending Novak Djokovic’s fourth-round Wimbledon match with wife Anushka Sharma. Some fans questioned his presence at Centre Court, suggesting the 36-year-old should still be playing for India. Kohli recently retired from Test cricket, citing a lack of intensity, despite BCCI’s persuasion to continue. Critics linked his Wimbledon visit to perceived complacency, contrasting him with Djokovic, still competing at 38. Supporters argue Kohli has earned his peace after 17 years at the top. “Let Kohli watch, without being watched,” many urged, highlighting the relentless scrutiny surrounding the cricket legend’s every move—even off the field.
