Fans react to Virat Kohli's post about Indian Olympians from Lovely Professional University

Team India skipper Virat Kohli shared a post on his Instagram informing that 10% of the Indian athletes taking part in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics are from Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjab. Kohli also hoped that LPU also sends its students to the Indian cricket team.
