Virat Kohli Wanted Noise-Free Diwali. Fans Asked, 'What About IPL Fireworks?'
The Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that there should be no sale of firecrackers during Diwali, as it restored a November 2016 order banning the sale and stocking of firecrackers in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR).

India captain Virat Kohli's plea for a cracker-free Diwali did not go down to well with some of his Twitter followers.

While some accused Kohli of apparently defying the traditions of Indian culture, others 'informed'Â him that Indian Premier League too involved fireworks.

The Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that there should be no sale of firecrackers during Diwali, as it restored a November 2016 order banning the sale and stocking of firecrackers in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR). The directive, aimed to curbing dangerous pollution levels, found plenty of support from some of India's biggest celebrities.
