Before fat-shaming Rohit Sharma, Shama Mohamed attacked Virat Kohli in 2018
India TodayCongress leader Shama Mohamed courted controversy after she made remarks fat-shaming Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, calling him "fat for a sportsperson" and the "most unimpressive" captain in India's history. In the 2018 post, Shama Mohamed said, “Virat Kohli plays a British invented game, makes crores from endorsing foreign brands, got married in Italy, names Hershelle Gibbs his favourite cricketer and Angelique Kerber the best tennis player, but tells those who love foreign batsmen to leave India.” She had retweeted a news report on Kolhi asking a cricket fan to "leave India". Meanwhile, the Congress distanced itself from Shama Mohamed's remark, saying that the party "holds the contributions of sporting icons in the highest regard". Congress leader Pawan Khera said the party had asked Shama Mohamed to delete her post and "advised her to exercise greater caution in the future".
