Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma's social media activity had added fuel to the fire of rumors which said not all is well between him and India's captain Virat Kohli. Rohit had unfollowed Anushka Sharma on Instagram which led to misunderstanding among the fans that Virat and Rohit are not on the same page.

Kohli was even asked about the activity of Rohit and he had snubbed all the rumors. Now, it was Rohit who finally opened up on the issue which showed him in a bad light. 

We have seen Virat and Rohit being absolutely fine with each other on the field. The hoax about their differences didn't make their bonding weak.

Rohit, talking to PTI, said that he doesn't want anyone's family to be dragged in unnecessary controversies. “Our families are there to support us, make us feel happy. When all these things were being written about, few of my friends came and told me and believe me or not; I was just laughing," he said.

“But then it went on and on, and they dragged my family, and that was not on. You talk about me but don’t drag my family as they genuinely don’t care about anything else. I think even Virat (Kohli) must have felt the same way as families are an important aspect of our lives," he said.

Sharma isn't currently playing in India's T20I series against Sri Lanka and has been rested.
