Deputy Minister Harsha de Silva yesterday apologised to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for his tweet on Virat Kohli and India's performance against Sri Lanka. 

"I wish to apologize to for my tweet. It was just a joke n never intended to dishearten our brave cricketers. Go Lions!," De Silva tweeted last evening, apologising to the SLC and cricket fans.
De Silva, in a previous tweet said, ' Told Virat Kohli Cricket to go easy on # next test. 600 a bit too steep."

The tweet came under criticism from some sections of Sri Lankan cricket fans claiming it humiliated the Sri Lankan cricket team which suffered a 2-0 Test series defeat against India.
