Virat Kohli criticised by Twitterati for cartoon-style 'Kerala elephant killing' post

Indian captain Virat Kohli recently expressed his anguish over the Kerala elephant death news, an incident that has led to a nationwide condemnation over animal cruelty. A pregnant elephant in Kerala's Silent Valley Forest in Kerala died after consuming a pineapple filled with crackers exploded in her mouth. On Wednesday, Virat Kohli took to his social media accounts and shared a cartoonish image depicting an elephant holding her child. However, the cricketer has apparently received some backlash by Twitterati over his latest sympathetic post.

Kerala elephant death: Twitterati slams Virat Kohli’s compassionate post

Not long after Virat Kohli’s post over Kerala elephant’s death, his social media feed got filled by users who believe the cricketer is showing a “disordered concern”. Many users can be seen alleging Virat Kohli for showing more compassion for Kerala elephant’s death over the death of “fellow humans” in other corners of the world. One user even cited the recent example of 16 Indian migrants being run over by a train in May while the Indian captain uploaded a video of himself acting like a dinosaur around the same time.
