Former captain of the Indian team Virat Kohli is furious  after a video of his hotel room in Perth was leaked and went viral on social media.

Kohli shared the leaked video on Instagram himself as well, slamming fans who invade his privacy.

The video showcases  Kohli's personal belongings, kits, perfumes and shoes, among other items.

Expressing his displeasure Kohli said he understands that fans are very happy and emotional when they meet their favourite players and  that he appreciates that, but that the video [of his hotel room] is "appalling".

"It’s made me feel very paranoid about my privacy. If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all??" he asked.

The former captain said that he is not okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy.

"Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment," he wrote.
