Kumble, who had resigned from the post of India’s head coach citing differences with captain Kohli in June this year, turned up along with his wife Chethana to congratulate the newlywed couple at the grand event held in Mumbai on Tuesday night.

No sooner did the images of Kumble attending Virushka’s wedding reception appear online that Twitter went crazy, with netizens posting their hilarious takes on this rather unexpected development.

Kumble served as the head coach of the Indian cricket team for nearly a year before resigning from the post after India’s defeat against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final in England in June 2017.

After his resignation, the ace spinner posted a letter on Twitter and Facebook saying he had to take this step owing to ‘untenable’ differences with skipper Virat Kohli.

Kumble was succeeded by Ravi Shastri, a favourite of Kohli, as the head coach of the side.
