Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have come under immense criticism for their inappropriate comments on an episode of Koffee with Karan.

Both the cricketers have been suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and have been recalled from the tour of Australia.

With a lot of social media chatter about the controversy, an old video of Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has gone viral... again.

Kohli in the video, when asked by host Anusha Dandekar about the quickest date he has ever had, said, "I actually went on a blind date which ended in about five minutes. I saw the girl and I ran away."

When asked why he had ran away, Kohli replied, "She was ugly".

An Australian journalist even shared the video on Twitter:

In fact, Kohli was recently asked about the Team India's response to the whole Pandya-Rahul controversy, to which he said, "From the Indian cricket team point of view, any inappropriate comments that are made in that scenario are something that we definitely don't support".

"The two concerned players felt what has gone wrong and they have understood the magnitude. It has to hit anyone hard, they will definitely understand the things that have not gone right.

"These are purely individual opinions... we definitely, as the Indian cricket team, do not support views like that and that has been communicated."
