Virat Kohli's influence? BCCI deletes its Anil Kumble's birthday Tweet, fans fumes in anger

Anil Kumble hailed from Bengaluru and was born on 17th October 1970.
Many players including Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag took on social media to wish Kumble.
Wiishing in a unique way, Sehwag wrote, “On Dhanteras, wishing one of India's greatest Dhan @anilkumble1074 bhai a very happy birthday. Jai jai Shiv Shambho, Happy Birthday Jumbo !”

Such is an influence of Virat Kohli that even BCCI forgot Anil Kumble was once the Indian captain and coach, as well.
