When Virat Kohli got out after making just one run in the World Cup semi-final clash against Australia, his girlfriend Anushka Sharma, who was present for the match, was unfairly bashed on Twitter, provoking many celebrities to stand up for her.
Among them, Yuvraj Singh.
On Sunday, Yuvraj, 33, asked fans to respect personal boundaries.
To all our real Indian fans who support us in our wins and loses ! Let's respect @imVkohli and @AnushkaSharma personal life

Someone who's scored 5 hundreds on Aus tour deserves much more respect and support from his fans !
