The way Virat Kohli’s former bae Anushka Sharma was unnecessarily dragged into the nationwide assessment of his performance in the T-20 World Cup (which, I think we can all agree, has been absolutely spectacular), was as petty as it gets. For instance:

Not that the issues raised weren’t serious… I mean, who the hell likes pineapple on pizza? But I digress.
