Does this indian team has immense respect for Mr Kohli?

The OP is like one of those forwarded on WA, UNESCO rates the Indian National Anthem as the best Anthem of the world.

Dhoni is the greatest captain India have ever produced. 

Talking like someone who has zero knowledge about Indian cricket.

Yes...i believe so...

Rahul mimics kohli to the core....even his celebration yesterday was complete copy of kohli's body language

Ashwin got into verbal altercation with anderson as he commented on Kohli...

Umesh and shami openly said they like him more than Dhoni....

Rohit, Rahane, pujara and vijay seems to be in good friends with him....

so overall, he is most respected indian captain from last 20 years or so....

 

 

you are a sales man but three 'yes's' dont work on a written forum lol...haha

 

how did you come to that conclusion based on the anecdotes and claims made above...

[maniac]

Yes it does...approachable,not stubborn,aggressive,actually cares about winning,no favoritism,stands up to the team,stands for what is right....why just Indian team.....Virat is the modern maryada purush and we all need to respect him.

 

Now should I say all Kohli haters are..........Fill in the blanks 

[Riju23]

I do think the team respects VK plenty

 

However, hard to say definitively that he is respected more by his team than any other Indian captain in last 20 years. For example I would say Ganguly also had plenty of respect from his players as a leader, many of whom owed their success at least in part to his backing. In fact, in a lot of ways VK getting into it with these Aussies reminds me of Ganguly vs the Aussies back in 01. That Aussie team was a better unit and perhaps a little more aggro/"ugly australian" than the current lot.

Virat is well respected as he leads from the front and supports his players .Dhoni for first few years of his captaincy was well respected but after not resigning even after whitewashes abroad he lost much of it .Same with Ganguly and Azhar we know .Only Dravid ,Kumble would give Kohli some competition

[maniac]

It is simple...when you are the best player in the team and have the level of dedication that Kohli is famous for with regards to fitness and practice,it is easy to get respect...the intensity alone gives you the aura...even aussies as much as they troll Virat are in awe.

 

With Dhoni it was like watching an average joe munching on his Mcdonalds,saying random dad jokes...lack of intensity by masking it with the term cool etc.

 

Tell me this are you in awe of a guy and respect someone automatically

 

who went to a ivy league school and became a CEO of a fortune 100 company

 

or 

 

your average uncle types ticket counter clerk in your local railways(no pun intended)

 

That is why Kohli gets this automatic respect

[Cricketics]

Kohli is well respected because of his batting more than captaincy right now. Players understand how much hard work he puts in his batting and hence people have immense respect for him at this time. Eventually if we go on to do well as a team in the overseas swing starting next year, he will earn more respect from the fellow players including the former greats, just for his captaincy.

 

Currently, the respect he has mostly earned has kind of carried from his hard work from all his batting performances and hardwork he has put in his own game, which has kind of rubbed off on players like Umesh and others to work harder on their respective games. 

[beetle]

Praising and following the current captain is the sensible thing to do irrespective of how the captain is.It is called survival .

When Dhoni was skipper , the team mates usef to praise him too.

Virat already achieved more as Test captain than what his predecessor Dhoni achieved in his career. Way to go.

Obviously when you are blind and on top of that delusional you will imagine things the way u want :) 

 

P.S. I guess sensible kohli fans got offended on me not calling them a fanboy in other threads so they joined the bandwagon too

Dhoni was a blessing for the Indian team, not nightmare. He sacrificed a lot for the team and didn't care for his own batting records for the betterment of the team. 

 

If he had continued to play at no 3/4 in limited overs Cricket, he would've ended up with 30/35 odi centuries. 

 

Yes, he struggled a bit in tests but he was still the best wicket keeper batsman in the team. Even now, he's 10 times better than minnow basher Saha. 

 

 

If Dhoni would have played at 3/4, his average would have dipped to something like 34. In his first 25 Tests, Dhoni wasn't half the keeper that Saha is currently. And was a marginally better bat. (Scored two centuries less though).
