Over-commercialized and highly underperforming, the demise of Kohli the cricketer has accelerated because of a woke...

Offtopic but has Anushka given up on acting full time?? Its ages since I saw her in a movie

[R!TTER]

She'll probably not feature in a high budget movie any time soon, she's also become a bit of a polarizing figure recently! Bollywood generally avoids controversies as much as they can, lead actors getting toxic or branded a certain way is gonna tank their box office receipts.

He is going to face huge backlash if he continues with this no non veg thing aggressively.

 

According to a study 75% of India is non vegeterian which in my opinion is under evaluated by 5-10%. 

 

I have seen whenever a non vegeterian tries to force a vegeterian to be non-vegetarian, veg guy is usually polite and won't give in. However whenever vegeterian tries to convert non vegeterian, the non-vegetarian guy is very aggressive.

Kohli is worth over $100M she never has to work again.

 Making top class hay while the sun is shinning, logical thing to do.

Good for her!

Irrespective of whether I agree with Brat's views (with most I do not), the chief metric he should be judged on is his cricketing record... because, at the end of the day, he is a job-holder executing a very particular duty, that of representing the nation in the glorious game (of cricket). and if his job performance is not up to scratch, he should be ditched - as simple as that! And his batting in the last two years, even setting aside stats, has looked fidgety, uncomfortable, loose, and timid. It is time for him to be shown the door.... for purely cricketing reasons.

Agreed.
The ejection from captaincy (notwithstanding the graceful walk-away) is, dare I say a Performance Improvement Plan.
Kohli's averages (2021)

• Tests: 28.2 over 19 innings
• ODI: 43 over 3 innings
• T20 Internationals: 74.8 over 8 innings
• IPL: 28.9 over 15 innings

With 2020 being an outlier in terms of Stats, given the lack of cricket all over the world. Let's see how he fares in 2022. He will continue to milk it for as long as he can, that's a given regardless of what anyone thinks or feels like. Its only when the image takes a serious beating do the ads start drying up.

Its kinda sad its resorted to this, but Kohli only has himself to blame here.

 

Most of India has turned on him now. There will be no graceful exit or standing applause.

 

His end will be met with laughter and ridicule.

i want to feel sad for him but in all honesty, i really do feel for him at times given the amount of hate he has copped but when i see his wife, his antics and promotions, i detest him again. part of me really wants to see him succeed with the bat. alas its not meant to be.

After watching the video, I dont see anything wrong in their investing in a company or using their popularity to publicise it..Not understanding this rage either.. His on field performances should be purely judged based on what he does on field. Crazy to bring in his values and affiliation to his performances. Alas if OP had some sense..

 

Having said that, I can see him going downhill unless he become a different personality. He should go back and enjoy his cricket, but he has become too serious..So far, his performances were overshadowed thanks to captaincy but now that he has additional pressure of delivering with the bat everytime he goes out there to bat, and I dont see how can he avoid this pressure unless he really starts enjoying the cricket as a team than individual..

Its the entitled woke preaching that irks everyone. He and his wife act all high and mighty while they are nothing but hypocrites. 

 

Right now kohli is more of a woke social media influencer and less of a cricketer and all his pr machinery and bots of social media won't be able to defend him now that people are seeing his true colors. All he cares about is about his brand and least bothered abt cricket. Every move he makes be it trying to be overly friendly with pak cricketrs after losing or praising amir to asking ppl not to boo Smith are all carefully crafted pr moves. Hope we get rid of him soon.

If he has the passion and love for the game that once he had he will focus on getting better.  He can push himself down the order like guys like Viv Richards did. May be coming in at 5 or 6. Ganguly used to be no.3 batsman. after dropped when he came back he was batting at 5 or 6.  Tendulkar was an exception. All the others had to bat in different positions. He thinks having more overs give him more chance to come back.
