Prakat Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Mumbai crowd is a hard audience. We will wind you up. And if you get affected by it we will wind you up some more. Why? Because that's life in the city. Welcome to the jungle, son! And don't take it personally for ****s sake. Nobody gets a VIP pass. Not Sachin, not SRK and not you. And what is this nonsense about not forgetting you play for the national side? What does that have to do with anything in the middle of a franchise vs franchise match. If Army and Railways are playing a Kabaddi match and one Army player backs away too soon the Railway crowd will shout "Darpok! Darpok!" and nobody expects or wants to see the Army guy get all weepy and self-righteous about his job. That would be just pathetic. As you were last night. And so what if you didn't cheat in fact? That's what makes it really juicy. If you cheated then what's the fun in calling you one? The taunt works far better when you did no cheating at all! :laugh: We will use what we can to ruffle your feathers, make you lose focus, make sure we win. So man up and smile cuz you just got played. Protip: Next time, take it like a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saneindian Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Oh yes, the Mumbai crowd will call you a 'cheat' when you play IPL and that is absolutely fine. Well done :two_thumbs_up: Next we will see Sachin/Viru/Dravid/Dhoni/Zaheer being called a cheat when playing away IPL games and expect them to 'chin up and act like men'.

Pagalpanti Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Idk why Kohli reacts strongly to crowds. First the middle finger incident in Australia and now this. iirc he had one incident in previous IPL as well? or the one before where he had altercation with a fan. Fans are known to be vile and filthy mouthed in stadium. Best to ignore them, just makes him seem like a whiny little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterix Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This thread has potential... :agree: Having thought about the incident, I cannot condone what the crowd did... Calling a player "cheater" is not on... :headshake: I can agree with occasional "booing" to convey your message but calling a player "cheater" is pathetic and classless... Kohli is turning out to be a highly obnoxious player the way he reacts to public and his own team mates... On top of it his facial expressions too doesn't helps.. He'll have to "grow" up if he wishes to lead the Indian team in future... Having said that, he doesn't deserves to be called cheater... There's no bravado in taunting a player from the safety of being in a crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 First it was Yuvraj who openly complained about the Mumbai crowd, now it is Virat. This has to be some sort of India's first in terms of players of the Indian national teams so openly coming against a crowd in an Indian venue.

BeautifulGame Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I remember them booing Sachin when he was struggling. They have always been a pathetic crowd.They are just taking it to another level with calling Indian players cheat http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/1018955/report-unbelievable-mumbai-crowds-boo-sachin-tendulkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLICKR392 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Just read the whole thing. He has been an as****e lately, booing was alright but calling him a cheater was a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezilkannan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Typical Mumbai crowd. Its not something that you don't expect. I am very glad that they didn't shift the playoffs to Mumbai for they have a pathetic crowd there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainK Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 1. As much as I love Mumbai, booing an opposition captain during the post match presentation ceremony, after he has lost the match, is not nice. Calling him a cheat is definitely not acceptable behavior. Had it happened to India in Australia, we all would be up in arms calling them names. 2. Responding to crowd taunts, for any captain, is idiotic and dumb. Crowds are generally dumb, they love seeking attention in various ways. Virat Kohli mostly comes across as an obnoxious idiot ready to respond to the slightest provocation. He is always animated and always clearly expresses his annoyance on the smallest of mistakes by his bowlers and fielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first time I had seen Virat Kohli in a ground, and we were all shocked to see his reaction to a pretty minor jeering. Kallis and Steyn were jeered too, but they did not even react. If Kohli wants to play his cricket in his feck-you manner, he should be ready to take it sportingly when he is on the receiving end as well. P.S. The Kolkata crowd has been a big fan of Kohli till now. Waiting to see if anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
