Virat Kohli’s chartered flight from India to Caribbean sparks online criticism on carbon emissions impact
Indian cricket team’s player, Virat Kohli, had an outstanding performance in the Test series against the West Indies, scoring a sensational century in his 500th international appearance. However, in the ODI series, he only played in the first match before being rested, along with other senior players, for the T20I matches.
Virat Kohli shared pictures from his journey back to India on Thursday on his Instagram account. He posted photos of himself on a chartered flight, documenting his return journey.
Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team’s star player, shared on Instagram that Global Air Charter Services had organized a special flight for him, and he posted a couple of pictures from the plane.
However, this post drew criticism from some Twitter users who pointed out the significant carbon emissions associated with chartered flights.
In the meantime, former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif expressed his opinion that India’s ongoing tour of the West Indies was not taken seriously, as it involved a lot of experimentation and opportunities given to young players.
Both Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma were rested for two out of the three ODI matches during the series.
