What kind of morning is this? First that useless babble about the retirement of Dhoni and now terror threats on Virat Kohli and team!
I mean, Diwali is over guys, put your explosions and blasts of petty publicity stunts on hold, and calm the fu*k down! *ugh..*
Anyway, moving on to the big news of the day, according to sources, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has received an anonymous letter which claimed that Team India, particularly captain Virat Kohli, were on a threat list.

Attention to details, Team India is scheduled to play three T20Is against Bangladesh, the first of which will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, 3rd November.
The three-match series will be followed by two Tests.
Apart from Virat Kohli, the threat list also contains names like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind, Home Minister Amit Shah, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart Lal Krishna Advani, BJP working President J.P. Nadda and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, according to sources at Delhi Police.

Although the letter is largely considered a hoax, still Delhi Police have been asked to swell up the security of the Indian Cricket Team, just to be on the safe side. Also, security reviews of the match venue and individual players are being carried out on the battle level.
Because well, Cricket is a religion in India and India is a secular country, you say? Yeah, and tolerant also! *Wink*
A (self-proclaimed) terrorist organization called All India Lashkar, based out of Kozhikode, Kerala has taken the responsibility for the letter.
Well, all in good time, this would give another excuse to the ‘concerned people’ to NOT focus on things they should!
Like? I don’t know maybe the development of the country? Economic slowdown? Inflation?
Choose your pick!
