This is why we can't judge Virat only based on his on ground celebrations. Great human being 👌

How can people even objectify his ground celebrations.He's passionate for his country and the game and he displays that when batting and celebrating . Doesn't necessarily hurles abuses or anything. Shows alot of respect to his opponents in off Field interview. ALL HAIL KING KOHLI
