Looks like you haven't seen average Indian fans at home. You'll see "King" Kohli and "Hitman" Rohit everywhere. These fans don't care about performances. They just want to see their "stars". For them cricket is just like a movie and performances are optional.

 

When will we get rid of celebrity culture?

 

But it's common in other parts of the world as well.

 

Ronaldo fans, Messi fans, Federer fans, Nadal fans, Djokovic fans, Kobe fans, Lebron fans. Not to mention the obsession with cinema stars and their personal lives around the world.

I've given up and it's not gonna happen. We're destined to be an average team which punches much below our weight and underperforms. My last trip to India was an eye opener. Nearly every other Indian is a huge Kohli fan and when you discuss or debate with them regarding he hasn't done much and not delivered anywhere close to the hype he has, those people don't have any response other than get angry.

 

They actually blame all and sundry, including Bumrah for the King's inability to win anything. The kind of excuses and mental gymnastics they do to find excuses for the "King" is mind boggling. So yeah nothing much will change and you'll see Kohli playing in WC 2027 even if he continues to fail throughout till 2027.

its fine for fans and media to have celebrity culture, its NOT fine for administration to have celebrity culture.
The legions of messi/ronaldo/lebron fans etc. hasnt stopped any of their clubs from benching them or trading them or subbing them out when they are sucking in a given game and while i dont follow football anymore, i would be SHOCKED if La-Ligua is no longer ruthlessly professional and would trade an underperforming 500 million dollar god tier player in like 10 days flat if they could.

Same goes for Aussie or the English -  especially the english fans being retard level but that doesnt stop ECB from nudging a legend like Anderson to retire. Its the job of BCCI to pick the team for best players possible. Not the fans. its the job of the fans to pretend that their star player is Parashuran avatar and will singlehandedly win every single game. Ok. let them each do their jobs.

Anderson is like 43 or something. He has to retire.

 

LeBron literally controls the NBA. 

 

Not to mention Ronaldo and Kobe Bryant are rapists. How they still have fans is beyond me..

 

Far too often, Indian men are stereotyped with being creeps. We have to point this out everytime a white or black guy is racist with us.

 

Dumb *ing thing is Indian Ronaldo fans will defend Ronaldo saying "he is too good looking. How can be a rapist when he can get any woman? It's not possible like that." I have seen such fans. .. Rape can also be about power.

 

Dumb *s - this is our chance to tear up their culture. Same goes for Kobe Bryant in black culture. These rapists need to be called out when a white or black person gets racist with us. 

 

Atleast we Indians don't fanboy rapists like your culture does.

 

Indians really lack the nuances of defending our culture and going on the attack mode with words.

LeBron has been traded at the drop of a hat and will be again if the team wishes.

I dont care what ronaldo fans think - he isnt the first rapist to have fans and wont be the last coz he is superstar and everyone does it everywhere.

My culture ?? My culture is Indian, not western like you promote with your dumbocrat love.

The point was, this is a poor excuse being given to justify BCCI incompetency as being a giga-star doesnt affect management compentency in several other sports.

Indian govt is going to collaborate with Israel regardless of the  RW nuts' blatant and skin crawling love for Israel....

Which is also why RW patriots will keep going israel israel israel love love love. Perfectly justified and perfectly in India's interests. Also this is not a thread for your idiot ideological theories. This is for cricket.

Your narrative peddling in social media will only increase the hate towards Indians.

 

Stick to helping out people in BAPS temple or ISKON temple.... Uncle.

 

Dont care if it increases hate for indians. I care more about who benefits the Indians than what a bunch of idiot butthurts on social media think. Stick to minding your own business in INdia and stop telling NRIs about politics that you are too idiotic to understand as a foreigner, kiddo.

NRI Kohli will love it in Pakistan. He has too many fans in Pakistan than in India 

Kohli in current form is very popular in Pakistan .

One more thing, don’t look out for “talent”, look out for performance in Domestic cricket. Tired of backing players like Gill just because he “looks good”. Both fans and selectors are looking for players pleasing to the eye, who can play perfect straight drive and cover drives, has all shots in the book etc… you end up ignoring players like Sarfraz because they don’t play by the book, even though they have 60+ average in domestic matches.. A player like Smith would have never been picked for India with this attitude..

Gill had an excellent FC record when he was first selected. He was even successful on his first tour here. He has regressed.

Based on recent form, Sarfraz should have played before Gill..
