Virat Kohli booed

[Texan]

:two_thumbs_up: Well, here's hard proof of why AVKC should exist in this world. 6sn6ID8tnUs

Booing any cricketer is wrong. Even unacceptable if it is someone like Ponting. But what Kohli did hear was even more unacceptable! And people are talking about this guy as a prospective captaincy material.

Yeh toh kuch nahin. I have seen Mumbai crowd shouting "Nagma Nagma" when Ganguly was India's captain. I have seen Mumbai crowd screaming "Zero Zero" every time Agarkar came into bat. In short, we are equally indifferent to every one except Sachin.

Tbh rat handled it pretty well

If you mean crying during the post match and still crying in the media as handling very well

Sachin was booed in 2006 against England in a test match too when he got out for 0 IIRC. This is the worst crowd.

Crying during the post match? He did handle it well in the post match presentation saying its fine and IPL is not the end of the world and all.

In the heat of the moment earlier Virat had also forgotten that Gauti also played for India.

To be fair to Kohli, I think Gambhir said a few things when Kohli got out & started the fight.... this riled kohli & he responded

[Sachin=GOD]

In the heat of the moment earlier Virat had also forgotten that Gauti also played for India.

this. In fact Virat has forgotten this many times while abusing Indian players in tamasha so he shouldn't really expect the crowd to spare him.

If the crowd had booed Dravid in a similar circumstances, would you still back the crowd? like calling Dravid a cheat or Tendulkar a cheat in Bangalore?

If the crowd had booed Dravid in a similar circumstances' date=' would you still back the crowd? like calling Dravid a cheat or Tendulkar a cheat in Bangalore?[/quote'] Good point. There is some undeserved hatred for Virat.

[Straight Drive]

The cricketers can get involved in disgraceful acts of fixing matches but they make so much noise because the crowd thought Virat should have shown sportsmanship and called Ambatti back.They are no saints.The cricketers should in fact acknowledge the fans patience and support in spite of match fixing having been proved in various countries.

[CSK Fan]

If the crowd had booed Dravid in a similar circumstances' date=' would you still back the crowd? like calling Dravid a cheat or Tendulkar a cheat in Bangalore?[/quote'] They will not boo Dravid or Sachin in similar situation. Thats the point, you cannot act as a whiny *****, abuse your own team members, behave like a prat and when someone gives it back to you, run back crying. Either you yourself act dignified forcing people to respect you, or learn to take what you dish out. Someone who has abuses like MC, BC on his sleeve everytime and someone whom the crowd watches doing this, will be a good target for the crowd always. Respect is earned by one's behavior

[Sachin=GOD]

If the crowd had booed Dravid in a similar circumstances' date=' would you still back the crowd? l[b']ike calling Dravid a cheat or Tendulkar a cheat in Bangalore?

there's a difference - these guys have never been seen abusing their own team mates in any form of the game. In fact they've hardly been seen abusing at all in International cricket so the fans respect them much more than players like Kohli who will abuse the opposition, their own team mates and even the crowd at times.

[King Tendulkar]

Sachin was booed in 2006 against England in a test match too when he got out for 0 IIRC. This is the worst crowd.

Yes that was disgusting. Mumbai crowd hammered and booed sachin. Shocking. Also were hammering Monty Paneasr as well with gay chants if I remeber rightly There is a differenc between a football crowd and cricket crowd. Mumbai crowd does not get this at times

[King Tendulkar]

They will not boo Dravid or Sachin in similar situation. Thats the point' date= you cannot act as a whiny *****, abuse your own team members, behave like a prat and when someone gives it back to you, run back crying.

Wrong. The idiots bood sachin while playing for India

[King Tendulkar]

But yes virat should have just took it on the chin and not complained publicly. Even though crowd was out of order

From Cricinfo:

what the mumbaikars dont seem to get is that technically, Kohli made no mistake on the field. He was well within his rights to let the umpire take a fair decision and its not like the decision wasn't referred to the third umpire. He watched the replays and took an informed decision. Since when does sticking to an umpire's decision make a player a cheater? Or am i to understand that in IPL, the crowd rules? The fans are stating that Kohli is immature and needs to improve on his gamesmanship, whereas it is clear that it is the fans who are immature. and P.S. kohli withdrew the run out appeal against Kedar Jadhav in the Delhi Daredevils game even though he was out. That is called gamesmanship.

Dont remember noticing Kohli withdrawing the appeal against Jadhav... Did Kohli do it?

[Straight Drive]

From Cricinfo: Dont remember noticing Kohli withdrawing the appeal against Jadhav... Did Kohli do it?

If that is correct he opts to call back Delhi player because a win against them was certain. So he shows sportsmanship in that match.Against Mumbai they knew they had a tough challenge, so he keeps sportsmanship out for that match ?

[Trundler27]

Wrong. The idiots bood sachin while playing for India

and that is exactly why Sachin is considered a role model for all cricketers because he knows how to channel his aggression (on the field with the bat). He doesn't respond to each barb or insanity hurled at him by the crowd, media, etc. Virat needs to seriously improve his behaviour as this type of idiotic behaviour is giving Indian cricket a bad name. If anyone talks about aggression then no one comes close to Ganguly in Indian cricket and he perfected the art of how to channel aggression appropriately. These new paplus need to watch ganguly as a leader and learn if they harbour hopes of leading India

In fact they've hardly been seen abusing at all in International cricket so the fans respect them much more than players like Kohli who will abuse the opposition' date=' their own team mates and even the crowd at times.[/quote'] That is bunch of baloney.. In that particular match Virat did not abuse anyone. Virat edged one in chennai and didn't leave the crease. Did he get called cheater? You need bit of gamesmanship. I don't think Mumbai crowd has one.
