This. Every cricket fan gave Rahane the credit. Also, it was only Kohli and his reluctance to include any young batsman who could outperform him that allowed Rahane to play as many matches as he did. He deserved to be kicked out a long time back.

Rahane = Respect

 

He is 100% right.

 

Had he retired after Aus series would have been a bonafide legend and probably recalled back as captain for tests.

 

He screwed it up:

 

Now regained respect after this interview yet again. This should be that high note on which  he retires.

 

I am with Rahane on this and he hasn’t said anything wrong.

This is borderline petty . What is next. "I moved the fielder to third man. He didn't do it" .  I remember Rohit suggesting Bumrah to bowl a slower one to Shaun Marsh at the stroke of lunch.  Bumrah shared it. Rohit somewhat downplayed it.  Ravi shastri is a personality known for selfishness. So there may be truth in it. But even then why bickering over these things.  All he had to do was batting well.

It's ok bro Ashwin can lie. 

 

P.S: I agree it's getting petty.

Yes, Rahane is right. Unfortunately for us, he is actually the captain that we need, but his batting is just not good enough right now to deserve a place as a batsman. Shastri takes credit for everything good, while finding someone else to blame for everything bad that happened. Even if we end up winning any ICC Trophy in the next 5 years, Shastri will put his hand up and say that he was responsible for building the team that ended up winning that trophy.

Rahane can become the coach instead of being a middle order batsman... 

[Lord]

if his performances werent enough,this guy should be fired for this interview alone

 

Very unprofessional and toxic

It still baffles me how Virat got credit for a tour which he wasn't even a part of.

 

Funny thing is, India lost the test match (36 all out) on which he captained and also the next test when he returned (1st test against Eng at home).

Kohli getting credit for the series win in Australia is as retarded as saying posters on this forum deserve credit for the win with our posting of tactics.

[SRT100]

Anyone who has seen the The Dark Knight Trilogy can appreciate the madness of Kohli thinking he won India the series in Australia.

 

Much like how the Joker believed he saved Gotham.

 

Kohli is our cricket Joker.

Oh so no one gives Kohli credit but Kohli and Shastri stole all credit? 

Ek cheez decide kar lo bhai fir discuss karenge. 

[vvvslaxman]

This is the only achievement from this 

 

[Sgattick10]

Well Rahane let them (Kohli/Shastri) take the credit in return for 3 yrs of test cricket.

Virat is not the captain anymore. 

Rohit is captain in two formats as of now and might become test captain too. 

 

What's the reason behind starting this needless controversy? 

In which way does this profit Indian cricket? Even if it harms Kohli, he is still a player in Indian team, why are efforts being made to pull him down even after he gave up captaincy in test format? 

 

This Boria or whatever is nothing but a coward, you can see that he will interview each and every cricketer bar Kohli, he just wants to make some bucks while trying to sabotage someone else's career having zero clue that he is against a force thrice his size. 

[Adamant]

Now I think why Kohli defended a rat like Rahane, a 39 averaging test failure. 

Should have thrown him to the wolves, he would be regretting all the decisions he made to defend this Mumbai Lobby sasta Damien Martyn.

To be fair to him, rahane deserves the credit for Aus series win. But he is forgetting the larger picture. If not for kohli and shastri' endless backing, he would hv been kicked out of the team long ago. 

The reason why Rahane and Pujara were backed is to direct the attention towards them.. Kohli is having horrid time as a player and if not for captaincy/Rahane/Pujara's pathetic form he would have been dropped by now

He is a nobody, as he himself said no one gives him credit for Australia tour and no one remembers him. 

His own words btw. 

Make no mistake. He is a trash batsman atleast in his latter years. He is undefeated as captain. Have to give him some credit.

No my dear boy. He kept rahaneee and puji in the team to hide his flaws. His numbers started dipping post 2019. To mask his deficiencies he needed 2 scapegoats who would make him look better. Too bad they all sucked equally bad and cost us 2 series wins.

If not for kohli and shastri'

If not for Kohli's khujli against every batter, barring thigh high slapper, so what the * has he done to our batting lineup? He has destroyed India's greatest strength, if you give him credit for the bowlers then the demise for batters is also this *wit's fault 

[cricketfan28]

That is what the public wants and public pays for that.
