Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is back in the news this week after the talismanic batsman opened up about his mental health struggle.He shared how he personally experienced times "when even in a room full of people who support and love me, I felt alone, and I am sure that this is a feeling that a lot of people can relate to. So, take out time for yourself and reconnect with your core self.”Though Kohli has more than 23,000 runs to his name across all formats, he hasn't scored a century in his last 78 international innings. His last hundred came back in November 2019 against Bangladesh in Kolkata in a Test match, the five-day version of the sport.This year, the Delhi-born star's problems with the bat seemed to have accentuated further. While he missed Team India's recent tour of the West Indies, and is not a part of the side which is currently in Zimbabwe, Kohli failed to cross the 20-run mark in his six knocks in England in July.Amid this backdrop, Kohli's comments about his mental health issues weren't taken positively on Twitter, with several social media users posting vile remarks in response to his revelations.

Fans Troll Indian Superstar Cricketer Virat Kohli After He Shares Mental Health Struggle
Widely regarded as once one of the best cricketers in the world, the batsman has been going through a prolonged lean patch for some time on the turf. While his recent performances have evoked severe criticism from several quarters, including from legends like Kapil Dev, the 33-year-old star was slammed on Thursday for a different reason.
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is
back in the news this week after the talismanic batsman opened up about his mental health struggle.
"For an athlete, the sport can bring the best out of you as a player but at the same time, the amount of pressure that you are constantly under can affect your mental health negatively. It is definitely a serious issue and as much as we try to be strong at all times, it can tear you apart," Kohli said in an interview with The Indian Express.
He shared how he personally experienced times "when even in a room full of people who support and love me, I felt alone, and I am sure that this is a feeling that a lot of people can relate to. So, take out time for yourself and reconnect with your core self.”
Though Kohli has
more than 23,000 runs to his name across all formats, he hasn't scored a century in his last 78 international innings. His last hundred
came back in November 2019 against Bangladesh in Kolkata in a Test match, the five-day version of the sport.
This year, the Delhi-born star's problems with the bat seemed to have accentuated further. While he missed Team India's recent tour of the West Indies, and is not a part of the side which is currently in Zimbabwe, Kohli failed to cross the 20-run mark in his six knocks in England in July.
Amid this backdrop, Kohli's comments about his mental health issues weren't taken positively on Twitter, with several social media users posting vile remarks in response to his revelations.
"No one is forcing you to play. Please leave Indian team," one cricket fan wrote, while another called on him to hang up his pads: "Honestly saying he should take retirement from cricket. Both he and Indian cricket will get relieved.”
