philcric Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Can somebody point me to the article(s) where media was harsh on Virat Kohli after the WC semifinal loss. I haven't seen any. Also, who blamed Anushka Sharma? There was so much hue and cry and plenty of talk about how Anushka Sharma should not be blamed for India's loss, but none of the articles actually mentioned the tweets that were supposedly mean to Ms. Sharma.
philcric Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I don't particularly like Kohli's personality but he is right. Indian media makes him a hero one day and then next day when he fails he gets butchered. There needs to be a balance. When? Where?
Guldozer Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 When? Where? Metaphor... Every one on ICF disowned him after the semi-final. Perhaps I'm mixing up ICF with Indian media.
Invasion 550 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Even the greatest of the greatest achievers will face the same treatment if they show attitude. Kohli is certainly not yet there. But definitely one of the top 3 batsman in the world. It is human tendency to ignore your negative points if you keep your feet ground and act nice. It is also a human tendency to exaggerate every little negative point if you show attitude. It is very tough in India to stay off the radar. But people have been there done that. Tendulkar' date=' Dravid, Kumble, Laxman to name a few. You don't think Dhoni doesn't get abuse. He probably gets more than the most (some he richly deservers. That is a different subject :cantstop: ) Point is not whether the abuse is warranted or not. Point is how you handle it.[/quote'] But come on, man. Shouldnt you guys cut him some slack. If VK was a pakistani players. I would kill for him. Top lad, he is.
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 No more hope from THIS man. By THIS, I meant cupid striken Virat kohli. I have written a post here in ICF previously that for Kohli to become next Sachin he needs to get married ASAP. I dont care if its Anushka or Boycotts Grandma but this lad need a women in life to calm his distractions. Sachin married very early in his career and his only focus was on cricket. Virat kohli needs to do the same and stop acting like Christiano Ronaldo. If he cannot curb his distractions world cricket will lose his biggest talent.
vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 But come on' date=' man. Shouldnt you guys cut him some slack. If VK was a pakistani players. I would kill for him. Top lad, he is.[/quote'] I definitely cut him some slack.. That is why i don't want to judge his captaincy based on his hot-headed behavior. WHenever he captains he managed to tone it down . I think with responsibility he will become a better overall personality as well .
vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Under Kohli INdia record Tests 2 - lost 1 drawn 1 Even in the lost test he got lot of accolades One Dayers 17 - won 14 lost 3 Yes he captained against weaker sides.. But overall he has not let the guard down as a captain
Iconoclast Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Lol what a tool he's like the CR7 of cricket. Azhar Ali > Virat
Stuge Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 If this is true (as it is reported by cricinfo because they don't twist quotes in general) he is going to take a lot of verbal heat from fans .He too much of himself and arrogant to say the least .

Top lad, he is.[/quote'] See you might be an average cricket but your positive attitude in good or bad can earn you respect forever. fans who have met him personally too feel he is very arrogant as a person as well .
Shivaji bhonsle Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Even Ganguly was like that. He was our most successful captain ever..everyone is different. He will go for a win no matter what the situation is. We Indian fans are long due for such an approach. Lets not spoil it.
hazharoon Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 He will be a brilliant captain. I WISH we had someone like him. #legend
BeautifulGame Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Even Ganguly was like that. He was our most successful captain ever..everyone is different. He will go for a win no matter what the situation is. We Indian fans are long due for such an approach. Lets not spoil it. Most successful captain? :hysterical: What exactly we win under Ganguly .Delusions never stop for Ganguly fans
Stuge Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Most successful captain? :hysterical: What exactly we win under Ganguly .Delusions never stop for Ganguly fans Obvious troll, who never watched cricket after match fixing scandal which rocked Indian cricket .
BeautifulGame Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Obvious troll' date=' who never watched cricket after match fixing scandal which rocked Indian cricket .[/quote'] Yeah good copout . Its a simple question .What did we win under Ganguly .
CG Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Yeah good copout . Its a simple question .What did we win under Ganguly . Icc Champions trophy. Ind Pak test series. Drew a series in Aus Drew in Eng,wi Biggest achievement has to be won against the invincible Aussie side in 2001.
BeautifulGame Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Icc Champions trophy. Ind Pak test series. Drew a series in Aus Drew in Eng,wi Biggest achievement has to be won against the invincible Aussie side in 2001. We shared the trophy . Ganguly record in the Pak series was 1-1.Dravid won the first test. Drawing in Aus isnt winning.We would have won though If he wasnt defensive in Sydney test and declared instead of batting till 3rd day. Fact: He didnt win single test series overseas as captain apart from Zimbabwe. Dravid in just 2 years won test series in England for first time in 26 years and West Indies in 30 odd years. So how exactly is Ganguly is better captain than Dravid in tests?Lets not go into ODI cricket where Dhoni achievements are far superior. Heck even Dhoni won test series in Newzealand and WI and drawn series in SA(much better than Aus 2004 bowling attack) despite being a poor captain.Yet Ganguly couldnt win a single series outside Sub continent despite having 5 ATG at the peak and he is our most successful captain? Anyone saying that is delusional.
gaurav92 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 He suck as a captain. We need someone who can handle all this with a pinch of salt, not him.
Number Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Even Ganguly was like that. He was our most successful captain ever..everyone is different. He will go for a win no matter what the situation is. We Indian fans are long due for such an approach. Lets not spoil it. I don't think Ganguly was like that. Saying I am better than any of my teammates is not a captain's statement. But less see how he leads for sometime before making the judgement.
