Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also lauded Kohli for his splendid innings and posted a tweet congratulating the Indian team on the victory.

However, what caught the public eye is the tweet from Gautam Gambhir who chose to leave out Virat Kohli from his tweet, unlike his peers. Gambhir tweeted “No better way to begin the WC! Stunning performance” with a couple of Indian flag stickers.

The fans soon slammed the former batsman over his personal vendetta with Kohli which has seen him often criticizing Kohli, who is touted across the world as the modern-day great of the game.

Gambhir had also recently remarked that Kohli plays for personal milestones and not for the team’s cause, a claim that had particularly not gone well with Kohli fans. Gambhir had also criticized Virat Kohli's inclusion in the Indian squad for the T20 WC.

Users trolled Gambhir and added that Kohli knew how to respond to his critics and haters.

Here’s how the users responded to Gambhir’s tweet:

Udupi: A delegation of the High Court Bench Struggle Committee met and submitted a petition to the Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru at the Circuit House urging the opening of a High Court Bench in the coastal belt as well as a Mobile High Court Bench in Mangaluru.

MLC and convener of the Committee Ivan D’Souza, who spoke to the Chief Justice on the occasion, explained that the people of the coastal belt find it difficult to travel to Bengaluru to fight a petition in the High Court. The problem only aggravated during monsoon. D’Souza added that there was a delay in clearing the cases of Udupi, Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu districts, which was causing further inconvenience to the people.

The MLC, who pointed out that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had also shown his preference for establishing a High Court Bench in the coastal region, requested for an approval to establish a Mobile High Court Bench first.
