Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has recently reacted to the leaked footage of Virat Kohli’s hotel room after their T20 World Cup Super 12 match against South Africa in Perth that left him ‘appalled.’ Referring to the incident as ‘disappointing,’ Dravid said that a hotel room is one place where the players feel most secure and when that privacy is breached ‘it is not a nice feeling’ as well.
However, Virat Kohli reshared the video on his Instagram handle on Monday where a person can be seen recording the interiors of his hotel room in Crown Resorts Perth. Kohli’s personal belongings, his health supplements, his collection of shoes, and his suitcase were all shown in the video titled ‘King Kohli’s hotel room’ as well.
After Virat Kohli’s Instagram post in which he said he was “paranoid about his privacy,” Crown Resorts has also issued an official apology and also sacked the personnel involved as well.
“It was disappointing, it’s not very comfortable for anyone, let alone Virat. We have flagged it with the relevant authorities, and they have taken action. Hopefully, incidents like this won’t happen in the future and hopefully, people are a lot more careful. That’s (hotel room) the one place you feel you are away from the prying eyes and without the media glare, without the photographers and all of these that the players have to deal with. When that’s taken away, it’s not really a nice feeling,” Rahul Dravid said in the pre-match press conference in Adelaide on Tuesday.
However, Dravid further added that Kohli has put all that behind him and he is in good shape on the eve of the next match against Bangladesh in Adelaide after the Indian team management took up the matter with the authorities concerned and quick action was taken as well.
“He has dealt with it very well. He’s here to train. He’s absolutely fine,” Rahul Dravid added.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has been in good form in this World Cup. He scored a brilliant 82* off 53 balls that won India the first game against Pakistan and then he scored another solid half-century against the Netherlands to help India win the match as well. In the match against South Africa, Virat Kohli looked good till he got out. However, he is likely to do well in the next as well.
