Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, K Kavitha on Wednesday commended cricketer Virat Kohli’s record-breaking 50th ODI century at the ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal against New Zealand. Drawing a comparison between Kohli and her father, Kavitha wrote on X, “Just like CM KCR, Virat Kohli is unbeatable! When the masters are in the field, magic happens!”
The Congress in Telangana took a dig at Kavitha over her remarks. It wrote on X, “There is a difference between playing for the Country and playing for the Commissions.” Hitting out at K Kavitha, the grand old party said in another post,”There is no competition for Virat Kohli in cricket… No one is better than KCR in the Kaleshwaram scandal…”
In the forthcoming assembly elections in Telangana, a substantial total of 2,290 contestants are vying for various seats.
