Virat Kohli gets trolled on Twitter for referring to Suresh Raina as 'Bhavesh'
A tweet from Indian run machine Virat Kohli, replying to the birthday wish from Suresh Raina, has sparked a troll fest on Twitter.
Virat Kohli called Suresh Raina as ‘Bhavesh’ in his response. While it was most likely an error or a typo, Twitteraties found their own hysterical interpretation of Bhavesh.
Happy birthday, brother @imVkohli More runs, more power & more glory to you on your special day. Keep doing what you do. Best wishes, always! 😎👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/IjdNqwjNW8

The most common refrain was that since Virat Kohli knows it’s Raina’s nephew who manages his Twitter handle, the Indian skipper decided to thank him instead of Raina.
Bhavesh is actually trending in India.... 😂 😂 😂

Back in 2012, Suresh Raina had shared a derogatory post about Pakistan after they were knocked out of the T20 World Cup. Later, Raina went on to delete the tweet and revealed that it had been posted by his nephew. The incident had triggered trolls and memes back then.
And now with Virat Kohli’s tweet, Raina’s nephew seems to be back in the limelight.
