Entrepreneur and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia is at the heart of an increasingly heated dispute following his appearance on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent program. Thousands of people took to social media to criticise him for going too far after he asked a competitor an inappropriate question, which is what caused the backlash. An influencer marketing firm revealed that Ranveer lost about 8,000 followers as a result of the outpouring of criticism.

The greatest blow, though, seems to have come from Indian cricketing great Virat Kohli. Amid the dispute, a widely shared screenshot of Kohli's Instagram following list indicates that the cricket player unfollowed Ranveer, which sparked more online debate.An FIR was filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and other members of India's Got Latent, including Apoorva Makhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and the show's producers, after the topic went beyond the social media uproar earlier this week.

Ranveer has been called in by authorities to be questioned, and in the days ahead, he is anticipated to record his statement. Later, after facing a lot of criticism, Ranveer Allahbadia apologised publicly. Samay Raina and YouTube took down all India’s Got Latent episodes.

India depended on Virat Kohli

Meanwhile, India whitewash England in a match ODI series. Virat Kohli has got his form as he scored 52 runs in the third and last ODI. He missed the first ODI due to a knee injury and in the second ODI, he got out on 5 runs. However, he was dismissed by a spinner in the last two ODI games. In two ODI games against England, he scored 57 runs.

As India will leave for Dubai on 15th Feb for the ICC Champions Trophy, Virat Kohli will look to keep the momentum going. India will highly depend on Virat Kohli as he gives support to the middle order of India. India will start their tournament against Bangladesh on 19th Feb.
