Australia opener David Warner found himself in a bit of hot soup for his comment on India batter Virat Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma’s photo which the cricketer had posted on his social media handles.
Virat Kohli had captioned the post calling Anushka his world and love and Warner commented on it: "Lucky Man, Mate".
However, Warner’s seemingly innocent comment caused a huge furor as many fans cornered the Aussie batter and he had post a reply to clarify his side and comment.
Replying to one of the fans who questioned Warner, the Australia opener said: "We are very lucky to have supportive wives," while to another, he replied: "It's a saying we use in Australia, like I would say I'm lucky to have Candice Warner. So, when we say to others, we say "You're lucky, mate" or "You’re blessed, mate". Interpretation is always going to be different."
Many fans supported Warner and defended him and after all hullabaloo Virat Kohli himself calmed things down by posting: "I know, mate.”
