The news of Arjun Tendulkar being bitten by a dog spread like a wild fire. While some appeared genuinely concerned about his well being, others, predominantly the fans of Virat Kohli, used the opportunity to mock Gautam Gambhir and Afghan bowler Naveen ul Haq.

The reason why Virat Kohli fans used crude jibes aimed at Gambhir and Haq was the duo’s fight with former India captain in one of the matches. Both Gambhir and Kohli were fined 100% of their match fees. While Kohli moved on, Gambhir and Haq were seen taking potshots at Kohli even days after that episode.
