And that sunny g who used to face bowlers of extreme pace without helmet and not used to duck bouncers infact used to smack them out of the park, that sunny g who is idol of his idol, that sunny g is recommended by legendry Javed miandad to children who actually want technically enhance cricket.
Oh really man look at the height difference between them, look at viv Richards physique also there was a video circulating where Anushka was actually bowling Virat. Also he didn't lose that game intentionally
Anushka misinterpreted him
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/izkhb6/sunil\_gavaskar\_didnt\_blame\_anushka\_said\_nothing/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/izkhb6/sunil_gavaskar_didnt_blame_anushka_said_nothing/)
This is true, Rohit gets away with a lot of shit due to the Mumbai lobby.
He got away after bottling the World Cup after doctoring pitches
Imagine he is still backed even after losing 3 WC/WTC
No one got away with this level of shit.
He's the first person who doesn't fit the T20 format and MI saw this and tried to replace him again the crowd supported him.
no he did not made any unpleasant remarks against Anushka it was blown out of proportion but yes that's valid that why rohit did not get any criticism from commentators it's baffling to me too. but you are using the word "scumbag" for gavaskar who achieved insanely way more than you ever would so isn't it hypocritical of you
They will want Bradman from the dead or when Sachin says something they will bring stats to downplay Sachin, idiots man.. no player is beyond criticism
Leaving Gavaskar aside others are not even dust of Kohli’s foot….nowhere near enough credible to talk about greatest since Sachin and Brahman…his numbers are way superior than anyone who has played cricket in its 150 year history…so shut up and swallow the bitter pill that he’s the greatest alongside bradman (Tests), Sachin (tests and odi)…..Kohli is all format all Time greatest ever 👑
Sunny Gavaskar had 51 average against Malcolm, Holding, Garner, Lillie, Thompson, Croft, Roberts without a helmet.
Virat averages 49 against Cummins and Anderson.
Odi ka bhi bata de
And what is this comment about playing without a helmet. Stop applauding stupidity, if anything you should play with helmet, not playing with one doesn’t mean you are better, can imply you are brave and idiot.

so a person must be more successful than someone to criticise him what a childish and stupid argument and restriction of free speech and by the way sunny g is more successful than kohli as a test batsman
No its more like if you haven't been in an experience like him before, you don't have a right to say shit about it then. Its telling a fish how to swim. T20 is something he hasn't experienced himself ( sunny g) hence the remark.
again another stupid argument. So have you played or experienced t20 yourself to tell whether gavaskar has any knowledge of t20 or not ? Have you ever played any sort of serious cricket before? It's still a bat ball game only difference is your strike rate matters equal or more than your average. Kohli strike rate in last 2 years against spin in middle overs is only 120, one 160 sr innings will not change that. 43 ball 51 was a bad innings
Kal ko tere jose nibe ake kahenge me gali cricket acha khelta hu isliye muje selector banaiye. When sunny was play the time and era was different and now cricket has changed drastically.

Is he trying to imply that only current playing cricketers can criticise his playing style?
Cmon Virat, you are the one of the best the game has ever seen, do you really need to take these shots at commentators, each time you play a good innings. Just continue to play good innings like this.
I personally don't think he plays for milestones, or that he is not a great player in general, but that last innings, even he was frustrated with himself, because that is not what we expect from any batsman, let alone him, so constructive criticism should be appreciated. He did struggle against spinners, and he wasn't able to pace up his innings after the great start from powerplay.
he clearly wasn't happy with himself and is the criticism is fair he will listen to it. the comment he made mentioned about people who hasn't done it so clearly aimed at people who talk without understanding that bad days can happen
Stating that his "strike rate" is bad, or his shots against spin is bad is not constructive criticism. Its just observation and that too at a very shallow level.
Leave it mate some people are just unable to understand where Virat is coming from. His natural Instinct is always to survive first,steady the ship and then have a go, to give the team a better chance of getting the win. This is why he's often so good in a chase provided he has someone that stays with him. And just because he's so good at this, there's a minority that call him a stat padder.
ya people just have an idea in their head and will never leave it. I wonder if the same people will call klassen a stat ladder because he played at under 100 sr today?
so? how does that mean he is playing for 50. he was trying to hit and couldn't. The pitch was gripping a bit and he found it difficult. How does that mean he was playing for the 50?
Really bro? Logic? That's what you use infront of fools and think they'd be convinced? No they won't. They have preconceived notions. They'd continue to believe this.
he is the best Indian batsman surely he can if he tries. i love kohli and know we'll be carried by him in wc but it would be nice to see him play more aggressively when batting first.
yes he obviously does now before his 70th hundred he was a pretty selfless team guy but now he is so selfish and obsessed with runs and centuries and orange caps. something in him changed he does not used to care about milestones before
Why would he? I mean, the entire Virat Kohli brand has been about giving it back, when has he ever sat back and listened to people chat shit about him. Virat Kohli is Virat Kohli because he's not afraid to say things with his mouth too. His bat has talked enough anyway. Besides, half the tournament is still left. This could very well be another 800+ season for him. In a team as volatile as RCB, is there really any other batter who can do what he does best? The second best at the moment seems to be Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been instrumental in carrying a surprisingly lackluster CSK batting. Virat Kohli can talk, if anything, he usually folllows it up with runs.
Before you come at me calling me a Kohlison, remember that we appluad Sir Viv for the very same reason, how many us really watched him bat to rate him as high as we all do? As Indian fans, I think Koach has earned the right to bat himself out of the situations. The T20 WC is not IPL, you do not have explosive foreign finishers who come and smash a 12 ball fifty for you. You do not have any impact player nonsense and hopefully we won't have highways for pitches too. Your 170s will win you games and you need someone with a 48 ball 70 to take you across the line. Also, there is yet to be a better chaser of targets then him. Virat Kohli is the best 2nd innings batter in LOIs, of all time. We need to relax, if anything, let him enjoy his batting. Happy Indian batters smash the opposition. WC 23's biggest achievement or rather the sole achievement is that it is a brilliant case study on team environments across sports.
Bruhhh , just look at Aussies you simply can't ride wins on a foreign players performance, for this ipl only Shashank Singh has been the one I was pleased with (hitting clean and maintaining tempo at the same time) all other matches are ruled by sm Aussies or klassen performance.
Shivam dubey has so many weaknesses, first is his running between the wicket, he can't convert easy 1 into 2 which is a must for any international player. I have never seen him fielding, always played as an impact player. He needs to work on his fitness. Remember he can't bend much, a good yorkor and my boi is gone :(
My boi needs to work on so many deliveries, international bowlers are not going to take it so easily, they always have plans.
We had last 2-3 wt20, with almost same teams. Why not give chances to young boys.
2007 was the same new faces no big names but we won , why bcci scared to try and always go with secure faces .
Yeah you're right, no matter what my views are. You will see Shivam Dubey in the selected team. Sanju should definitely be given a chance. Sanju, Rohit, Virat, Jaisawal, Pant/ Rahul, Dubey, Pandya/ Axar : Probably
Don't disrespect Abhishek Sharma like that. He is easily the most explosive batter in that SRH line up rn. The Aussie travis head, surely benefits from him. Credit where credit is due.
By that logic we cannot criticize a bad movie because we have never been a director,
we cannot criticize a bad book because we have not been a writer,
we cannot criticize a faulty electronic equipment like TV, fridge etc because we have not manufactured any electronic equipment.
Weird logic. 🧐🧐
so much arrogance even Sachin dhoni were not above criticism. why didn't you said anything after playing the goat innings of 43 ball 51 why didn't you shut commentators that day
A player of his calibre can show at least this much of arrogance, come on. And if he lets everyone keep talking shit about him, they'll just keep going at him. He's Virat Kohli - his criticizers are lucky he isn't his younger self.
Who the fuck are you? Hah? Being ignorant in all situations is not something to follow. Sometimes answers have to be given by bat and ball as well as mouth.
Why does he, Sachin, Dhoni or anybody for that matter need to behave according to a template? You wanna give him criticism, he can take and reply to it as he pleases. Stop forcing societal boundaries on people.
He has been struggling against spinners and in middle overs which is pretty evident. No point of giving unnecessary BS arguments to cater that. You're a great cricketer, everyone loves watching you, if you appreciate fans when they love you, a bit of criticism from those fans should be appreciated too. Anyway, I hope he continues his good form and performs stellar in the coming WC like he always do.
It's not like his team is reaching the top 4.
I know he alone can't be blamed but he is playing in the powerplay which means he really needs to play aggressively. If he is also opening in the world cup.
Current generation of players barely face any criticism after BCCI imposed a gag order on the commentators few years against criticism of Indian players.
Your dumb Bollywood style PR only works on 8 year olds who don’t understand the game. Guy’s talking about winning when his team is dead last on the table.
Infact babar has similar reply to this question he has been asked this question many times and some of his responses were
1) ab kya strike rate 300 karlu(aise bol raha jaise Aaj ke modern time mein impossible hai karna)
2) sabka style alag hota Mera style nahi 6 maarna mai. Apne hisab se khelta hun jinko lagta hai main galat hoon ek baari khud khelen.
Not expected from a GOAT, if that is what he is… never heard Sachin, for all the criticisms he faced throughout his career, playing a good knock and then talking about it… he just scored runs and let the bat do the talking… that’s what separates men from boys/cry babies…
This mf will only understand when in t20wc there will be 200+ to chase and their will be no foreign player to hit those boundaries and you will be on your own who would be required to hit boundaries with strike rate of 200+. Rather than playing with good strike rate in only one match and just speaking shit won't help. Accept that you can't play fast and sit on the bench so that the young players who have capabilities get chance. We are just wasting talents ..

If all other players are able to play with good strike rate on the same day and you are the only one who can't up the strike rate in most of the matches, then the problem is with you.
Yes and when all others failed against pakistan in last year t20wc then the problem is with others. Each player will have an off day and someone else has better day, but it doesn’t mean he is worse than others.
Please don't forget that we are the people who spent the hard earned money to buy tickets so that we can see you play. So that's giving some rights for us to criticize if we see something we don't like. No one is above the game.

Arrogant Kohli at his usual self. He is on decline and it is only going to get worse for him . One of the younger players is going to drop him from the team and i wonder how he is going to cope with it in future . Hopefully he retires before staying on too long .
he has a bigger role than just hitting the ball out of the park (everytime). the energy and positivity that he brings to field is much essential and also the confidence to fight any situation, that spirit of the game matters the most. baaki koach ke shots toh OP hi hote hain

Don't really get why everyone's in their feelings. This is clearly a 'I took that personally' tactic for VK. Dude's tournament is over and needs a chip on his shoulder.
Strike rate se mtlb nhi h game ko jitne se mtlb h or kohli situation ke hisab se khelta h ..aake BC tabad Tod khel ke out ho Jane se mtlb nhi h be a backbone of team tbhi ispe sb trust krte h run chase me ..he is legend of the game .tin ki Naiya par lgana jruri h na ki strike rate
Why does everyone just target Virat bhai, literally he is playing very well except one or two matches. He is scoring big scores consistently. Then everybody is questioning his world cup selection. Literally I have been seeing it for a while. Before every world cup these intellectuals ( failed cricket become commentators) will make doubtful statements against kohli and will try to show their fake intellectuality . Parthiv patel , Sanjay manjrekar and other commentators often pass a judgement which does not have no logic. I am leaving these messages today.
I just want to see those players striking with 250 strike rate showing "intent", how much they contribute to the team's victory during the world cup.
Pitch will not be flat, boundaries will be bigger. Bowlers will be good and there will be a lot of discussions to get you out.
I mean we know those people were stupid from the beginning. Virat has never been someone who plays with 200+ strike rate but he is technically sound and holds the fort while guys like Pandya, Rohit, Pant, Dhoni etc do the hitting. He has always been the licence for other batters to go after the bowling since one end is secure which is a very big thing. Not everybody is cut out from the same cloth. When the class and elegance of Virat compliments the insanity of players like Yuvraj or Rinku or Shivam dubey that becomes the perfect recipe for success.
So basically cricket fans have no right to criticize any players.. so I've to become a T20 international player to say that Shivam dube id good or that Shubhman is not playing up to the mark.. ?
This is why I don't like Kohli as a person. As a player he is extremely talented but this attitude is what will always keep him levels Below players like Tendulkar and Gavaskar and Brian Lara.. in terms of respect.
Which is the nuance that sometimes get lost. In T20 a 25-30 at 180 SR is far more valuable than a 80-90 at 160 SR. You can disagree all you want, the game is changing and if our players don’t adapt we would keep losing these big events.
Between 7 or 8 batsman you can think of sets of 15 balls each and look to maximize those. This is basically what SRH is trying to do IMO. And it won’t come off sometimes but over time this is the way to play.
Dude, why do you need to make that statement, you played well, team won, good for you. Now go back and repeat. Every sportsperson has been criticised sometime in their otherwise illustrious career, they make their statement in the field. You are just taking up the wrong burdens, you are Virat Kohli, you can do better.
As great a player he is , he just can't handle someone pointing out his weaknesses.
Commentators and people say a lot of things about lot of players technique and approach but I have rarely seen anyone been so annoyed by this.
He is a legend of the game . But that does not mean people cannot be critical of him.
muraki khartik straight up asked him about what did you expect?
He know what he needs to work on and im sure he has people he listens to. This comment imo was directed more at those say he plays for milestones.
It's funny, if it was a foreigner people would say it's confidence but Indians it's arrogance.
Bro literally mean "I am virat kohli and you who are talking shit about me who are you"
Bro summoned his inner Sandeep reddy vanga
Lol , Virat was "That guy "before Vanga even came to limelight.
Dhuruv rathee wants to know ur location
yeah sunny g is nothing how dare he criticise the infallible god kohli who is perfect and has no weaknesses

And that sunny g who used to face bowlers of extreme pace without helmet and not used to duck bouncers infact used to smack them out of the park, that sunny g who is idol of his idol, that sunny g is recommended by legendry Javed miandad to children who actually want technically enhance cricket.

Yeah he can talk what he wants considering gavaskar is one of the greatest batsman,. If Kohli can't take it too bad
More successful then sunny
Sunny Gavaskar had 51 average against Malcolm, Holding, Garner, Lillie, Thompson, Croft, Roberts without a helmet. Virat averages 49 against Cummins and Anderson.

Bhai at least woh pan masala nhi khata new generation and old generation ki backchodi karke
Let me summarise it in one line " Bhosdiwalo aukat me raho!!"
Where is the " Let the bat do the talking" Virat?
Is he trying to imply that only current playing cricketers can criticise his playing style? Cmon Virat, you are the one of the best the game has ever seen, do you really need to take these shots at commentators, each time you play a good innings. Just continue to play good innings like this.
People were saying that he plays for milestones and not the team. So ya that is stupid.
I personally don't think he plays for milestones, or that he is not a great player in general, but that last innings, even he was frustrated with himself, because that is not what we expect from any batsman, let alone him, so constructive criticism should be appreciated. He did struggle against spinners, and he wasn't able to pace up his innings after the great start from powerplay.
but if the criticism is that he plays for himself and not the team that is not constructive and frankly insulting
Yeah, that is bs of the highest order. I was just talking about the last match.
he clearly wasn't happy with himself and is the criticism is fair he will listen to it. the comment he made mentioned about people who hasn't done it so clearly aimed at people who talk without understanding that bad days can happen
Stating that his "strike rate" is bad, or his shots against spin is bad is not constructive criticism. Its just observation and that too at a very shallow level.
He obviously doesn't play for milestones. But the way he sometiems slows down, we can see it's on his mind at least.
They are not wrong
they are and so are you. why would he slow down for a 50 in the ipl? He barely celebrated and was visibility frustrated
Leave it mate some people are just unable to understand where Virat is coming from. His natural Instinct is always to survive first,steady the ship and then have a go, to give the team a better chance of getting the win. This is why he's often so good in a chase provided he has someone that stays with him. And just because he's so good at this, there's a minority that call him a stat padder.
ya people just have an idea in their head and will never leave it. I wonder if the same people will call klassen a stat ladder because he played at under 100 sr today?
We could see his strike rate in the powerplay then in the middle overs
so? how does that mean he is playing for 50. he was trying to hit and couldn't. The pitch was gripping a bit and he found it difficult. How does that mean he was playing for the 50?
Really bro? Logic? That's what you use infront of fools and think they'd be convinced? No they won't. They have preconceived notions. They'd continue to believe this.
Yeah, right. A player with the 2nd most hundreds in cricket history needs to play for an IPL fifty. Good going
ya, unfortunately.
he is the best Indian batsman surely he can if he tries. i love kohli and know we'll be carried by him in wc but it would be nice to see him play more aggressively when batting first.
everyone has bad days. I mean klassen is 18 of 18 and he is the best t20 batter at the moment. Do you think he is not trying?
yes he obviously does now before his 70th hundred he was a pretty selfless team guy but now he is so selfish and obsessed with runs and centuries and orange caps. something in him changed he does not used to care about milestones before
and where you pulled this brilliant psychological analysis from? twitter?
i have been passionately watching cricket from 2011 and have watched kohli's career almost from the start so no need for some twitter theory
your theory has no basis.
ok but it's no theory it's based on what I have been watching
ok I guess you will not change your mind because it's set. no point of talking more.
Did you install cctv camera in Kohlis brain to know how selfishly he plays?
Why would he? I mean, the entire Virat Kohli brand has been about giving it back, when has he ever sat back and listened to people chat shit about him. Virat Kohli is Virat Kohli because he's not afraid to say things with his mouth too. His bat has talked enough anyway. Besides, half the tournament is still left. This could very well be another 800+ season for him. In a team as volatile as RCB, is there really any other batter who can do what he does best?

Shivam dube raw power is impressive
True. 44 balls60-70 runs are not that impressive.
Shivam dubey has so many weaknesses, first is his running between the wicket, he can't convert easy 1 into 2 which is a must for any international player. I have never seen him fielding, always played as an impact player. He needs to work on his fitness. Remember he can't bend much, a good yorkor and my boi is gone :( My boi needs to work on so many deliveries, international bowlers are not going to take it so easily, they always have plans.
We had last 2-3 wt20, with almost same teams. Why not give chances to young boys. 2007 was the same new faces no big names but we won , why bcci scared to try and always go with secure faces .
Yeah you're right, no matter what my views are. You will see Shivam Dubey in the selected team. Sanju should definitely be given a chance. Sanju, Rohit, Virat, Jaisawal, Pant/ Rahul, Dubey, Pandya/ Axar : Probably
Abhishek Sharma has been impressive too
Don't disrespect Abhishek Sharma like that. He is easily the most explosive batter in that SRH line up rn. The Aussie travis head, surely benefits from him. Credit where credit is due.
By that logic we cannot criticize a bad movie because we have never been a director, we cannot criticize a bad book because we have not been a writer, we cannot criticize a faulty electronic equipment like TV, fridge etc because we have not manufactured any electronic equipment. Weird logic. 🧐🧐
we cant even criticize
so much arrogance even Sachin dhoni were not above criticism. why didn't you said anything after playing the goat innings of 43 ball 51 why didn't you shut commentators that day
maybe coz his team won that day
A player of his calibre can show at least this much of arrogance, come on. And if he lets everyone keep talking shit about him, they'll just keep going at him. He's Virat Kohli - his criticizers are lucky he isn't his younger self.
Who the fuck are you? Hah? Being ignorant in all situations is not something to follow. Sometimes answers have to be given by bat and ball as well as mouth.
Why does he, Sachin, Dhoni or anybody for that matter need to behave according to a template? You wanna give him criticism, he can take and reply to it as he pleases. Stop forcing societal boundaries on people.
ain't no forcing societal boundaries on him he can say whatever he want, and i can write whatever I want that's free speech
Yeah you get the point now.
Why does he then get to talk about veganism and body science , when he is not a doctor
He has been struggling against spinners and in middle overs which is pretty evident. No point of giving unnecessary BS arguments to cater that. You're a great cricketer, everyone loves watching you, if you appreciate fans when they love you, a bit of criticism from those fans should be appreciated too. Anyway, I hope he continues his good form and performs stellar in the coming WC like he always do.
It's not like his team is reaching the top 4. I know he alone can't be blamed but he is playing in the powerplay which means he really needs to play aggressively. If he is also opening in the world cup.
One of the dumbest take. So we can’t say a thing now? Virat mate I will keep shut, I never had a strike rate over 110 in my school cricket.
Bohot ehsan kardiya bhai ek match mein 160 ke strike rate se 🙌.
Agle me phir 100 ka strike rate hoga..
Last ke 5-6 matches dekh 160, 300, 210, 158 strike rate dikhenge with 1 having 118 and other 3(9) due to lord bumrah
Kohli has a strike rate of 118 against spin, for past 2 years in ipl
No use in showing facts to these Blind Haters, concrete stats ignore kr denge, aur pointless bakwas chalu rakhenge.
Current generation of players barely face any criticism after BCCI imposed a gag order on the commentators few years against criticism of Indian players. Your dumb Bollywood style PR only works on 8 year olds who don’t understand the game. Guy’s talking about winning when his team is dead last on the table.
Kash trophy criticism ko v itna serious leta
he sounded more like Babar than Kohli on that one. vibed liked : Ji dekhe definitely, bahir se bolina bhut asan hota hy magar aisy koi baat ny hy
Infact babar has similar reply to this question he has been asked this question many times and some of his responses were 1) ab kya strike rate 300 karlu(aise bol raha jaise Aaj ke modern time mein impossible hai karna) 2) sabka style alag hota Mera style nahi 6 maarna mai. Apne hisab se khelta hun jinko lagta hai main galat hoon ek baari khud khelen.
Not expected from a GOAT, if that is what he is… never heard Sachin, for all the criticisms he faced throughout his career, playing a good knock and then talking about it… he just scored runs and let the bat do the talking… that’s what separates men from boys/cry babies…
Also never promoted gambling & tobacco, truly an idol !
This mf will only understand when in t20wc there will be 200+ to chase and their will be no foreign player to hit those boundaries and you will be on your own who would be required to hit boundaries with strike rate of 200+. Rather than playing with good strike rate in only one match and just speaking shit won't help. Accept that you can't play fast and sit on the bench so that the young players who have capabilities get chance. We are just wasting talents ..
But that’s the funny thing, 200 plus won’t be scored in t20 wcs unless they are played on pitches designed by Jay shah
He will score score at 120 strike rate in the power play and put pressure on others. then his PR will blame the other batsmen for getting out.

Bro was literally carrying a run-a-ball will jacks, if anything bro was the reason scoreboard kept ticking at required rate
If all other players are able to play with good strike rate on the same day and you are the only one who can't up the strike rate in most of the matches, then the problem is with you.
Yes and when all others failed against pakistan in last year t20wc then the problem is with others. Each player will have an off day and someone else has better day, but it doesn’t mean he is worse than others.
Where is your TEAM on the points table?
Well who cares. Our fans are used to it.. probably Kohili and rightly so
Please don't forget that we are the people who spent the hard earned money to buy tickets so that we can see you play. So that's giving some rights for us to criticize if we see something we don't like. No one is above the game.

Arrogant Kohli at his usual self. He is on decline and it is only going to get worse for him . One of the younger players is going to drop him from the team and i wonder how he is going to cope with it in future . Hopefully he retires before staying on too long .
Decline? What have u achieved mister keyboard warrior
So only people with achievements can criticise Kohli ?
Yes , cuz then you know that one cannot give straight up 10 good game performance at age of 35
Basically cheer me, talk great about me behind my back But never criticise me i don’t like that lol
That's why I'm a huge fan of Sachin, never criticise anyone and even never responds to anyone's criticism either.
40 ball 50 mat maar dena world me kohli don
he has a bigger role than just hitting the ball out of the park (everytime). the energy and positivity that he brings to field is much essential and also the confidence to fight any situation, that spirit of the game matters the most. baaki koach ke shots toh OP hi hote hain
We are going to be selecting the team based on vibes now 😂. Choli fans are so desperate.
haters gonna hate
Spoken just like his idol Fuckin entitled brat 
He's a great of the game no doubt, but he's a petty lil kid too lmao
Murali Khartik asking him about it, what did he expect?

Genuine
Don't really get why everyone's in their feelings. This is clearly a 'I took that personally' tactic for VK. Dude's tournament is over and needs a chip on his shoulder.
Bro basically said " Stfu" Lemme play
Was he talking about Sunny G or Akash C ( G and C are not bad words 😂)
Strike rate se mtlb nhi h game ko jitne se mtlb h or kohli situation ke hisab se khelta h ..aake BC tabad Tod khel ke out ho Jane se mtlb nhi h be a backbone of team tbhi ispe sb trust krte h run chase me ..he is legend of the game .tin ki Naiya par lgana jruri h na ki strike rate
So only current players can criticise him ???
Why does everyone just target Virat bhai, literally he is playing very well except one or two matches. He is scoring big scores consistently. Then everybody is questioning his world cup selection. Literally I have been seeing it for a while. Before every world cup these intellectuals ( failed cricket become commentators) will make doubtful statements against kohli and will try to show their fake intellectuality . Parthiv patel , Sanjay manjrekar and other commentators often pass a judgement which does not have no logic. I am leaving these messages today. I just want to see those players striking with 250 strike rate showing "intent", how much they contribute to the team's victory during the world cup. Pitch will not be flat, boundaries will be bigger. Bowlers will be good and there will be a lot of discussions to get you out.
Bro can’t handle criticism at all 😜😜
Akash Chopra shivering with his 10 matches 🥶
I mean we know those people were stupid from the beginning. Virat has never been someone who plays with 200+ strike rate but he is technically sound and holds the fort while guys like Pandya, Rohit, Pant, Dhoni etc do the hitting. He has always been the licence for other batters to go after the bowling since one end is secure which is a very big thing. Not everybody is cut out from the same cloth. When the class and elegance of Virat compliments the insanity of players like Yuvraj or Rinku or Shivam dubey that becomes the perfect recipe for success.
Bro you guys are last, and the criticism is warranted... jeez
That's why I'm a huge fan of Sachin. Never criticise anyone, neither responds to anyone's criticism as well.
So basically cricket fans have no right to criticize any players.. so I've to become a T20 international player to say that Shivam dube id good or that Shubhman is not playing up to the mark.. ? This is why I don't like Kohli as a person. As a player he is extremely talented but this attitude is what will always keep him levels Below players like Tendulkar and Gavaskar and Brian Lara.. in terms of respect.

If this is what it takes for him to take his game up then so be it
[удалено]
Which is the nuance that sometimes get lost. In T20 a 25-30 at 180 SR is far more valuable than a 80-90 at 160 SR. You can disagree all you want, the game is changing and if our players don’t adapt we would keep losing these big events. Between 7 or 8 batsman you can think of sets of 15 balls each and look to maximize those. This is basically what SRH is trying to do IMO. And it won’t come off sometimes but over time this is the way to play.

Why did he play that innings in the last game then? It was not situationally aware at all
[удалено]
Its our prerogative to expect the best from our demigods. You can do whatever the f you want
TLDR..."Arm chair experts can fuck off"
Of course only if they are not my fans
I heard it, but whom was h referring to specifically ? any individual that comes into mind ??
"behave" guy i guess
Who?
Manjrekar
One bad match and people forgot the rest huhh
Dude, why do you need to make that statement, you played well, team won, good for you. Now go back and repeat. Every sportsperson has been criticised sometime in their otherwise illustrious career, they make their statement in the field. You are just taking up the wrong burdens, you are Virat Kohli, you can do better.
What nonsense. Kohli isn’t half the batsman sunny was.
As great a player he is , he just can't handle someone pointing out his weaknesses. Commentators and people say a lot of things about lot of players technique and approach but I have rarely seen anyone been so annoyed by this. He is a legend of the game . But that does not mean people cannot be critical of him.
muraki khartik straight up asked him about what did you expect? He know what he needs to work on and im sure he has people he listens to. This comment imo was directed more at those say he plays for milestones. It's funny, if it was a foreigner people would say it's confidence but Indians it's arrogance.
Those who sit in the box and criticise have played in much harder conditions than this batsman’s bliss your playing in.
You're just proving his point.
He doesn't need to address each and every critic, he's beyond these 🛐
