New Delhi: Fans on micro-blogging site Twitter slammed former Indian Cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir for leaving out Virat Kohli’s name from his tweet after India’s incredible victory over Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG in the T20 WC encounter.

India, riding on a brilliant knock from its ace batsman Virat Kohli defeated Pakistan in a thrilling last over when Ravichandran Ashwin scored the winning runs on the final ball of the match.

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:
