Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has reportedly unfollowed Canada-based Punjabi singer Shubh on Instagram after he posted a controversial image of a distorted map of India on social media. Shubh has faced accusations of supporting Khalistani separatists, and his recent Instagram story caused significant outrage in India. Shubh was once a favorite of Kohli’s and had expressed his admiration for the 26-year-old on Twitter.
However, it appears that Kohli was not pleased with Shubh’s controversial post, leading him to unfollow the singer. This post also sparked protests in Mumbai, where Shubh is scheduled to perform from September 23-25. Shubh was originally scheduled to perform in Mumbai from September 23 to 25 as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event aboard the Cordelia Cruise. However, he faced objections from the BJYM (Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha), citing his alleged support for Khalistanis.

Coming to Virat Kohli’s recent performance, he is enjoying top form in One Day Internationals (ODI) cricket as he played a remarkable innings of 122* against arch-rivals Pakistan, marking his 47th century in ODIs. Notably, Kohli and KL Rahul put together a 200-run partnership, helping India reach a formidable total of 356 runs.
In response, Pakistan struggled to chase the target and lost the match by a big margin of 228 runs. Subsequently, India defeated Sri Lanka to secure their spot in the Asia Cup final, but they couldn’t win their last Super Four match against Bangladesh.
However, this setback didn’t hinder India’s performance in the Asia Cup final. Mohammad Siraj’s exceptional bowling performance restricted Sri Lanka to a mere 50 runs. In reply, openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan easily chased down the target, securing India’s eighth Asia Cup title on Sunday.
