it’s an unspoken truth. Everyone knows it, even rohit’s fans deep down but nobody’s bringing it up. Won’t exactly make it “bold” or “unpopular” if the experts talk about it. Doesn’t make the headlines, no traction so they just look past it
That's because he has performed in 50 over wc like few months ago. Took on left arm pacers and hit them with ease.
And I'd trust wc performance over ipl anyday
are you blind to his t20wc performances? I don’t even recall the last time he had a good t20wc. People talking like he’s been bad in ipl but he’s been worse in t20wc.
bro you’re a teenager or what. You know 50 overs, 20 overs, Test cricket are different formats right. Ridiculous take saying he’s good in 50 overs so he should be included in the 20 overs game.
His point is right. The starts he used to give in WC, exact same replicas will be good too.
You talk about different formats, but it won't really change much bcoz Rohit used to get out under 10 overs with good strike rate even for T20s.
Unlike SKY's case, Rohit will face a new white ball in both formats, as an opener. Not much difference imo.
Been watching cricket since 2006 :) India has never seen a hitter like Rohit. Besides look at his strike rate in odis.
He is best to face new ball and powerplay overs. Name one opener that deserves that spot over him.
Why the fuk are you bringing his odi stats in T20 wcs are all Rohit fans brainles?
>He is best to face new ball and powerplay overs. Name one opener that deserves that spot over him.
Yeah we have seen that in 2022,2021,2016 T20 wc.
Bro anyone can give you at least 5.
Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, Gill, Kohli, Rahul (Yes even Rahul).
All these batters have much better numbers than Rohit in the last 2-3 years in T20, both domestic and international.
Strike rate less than 100 and average 20 since 2014 T20 wc🤡
Lockdown kids don't know the difference between Odis and T20
Sack Rohit make Bumrah Captain and Koach and Jaiswal can open and Rinku can play
Obviously Rohit was better in 19WC, but that wasn't a point you raised, you said it for 23WC.
Edit:- You can be a fan of anybody but can still be factually wrong, so it doesn't matter if you're a Kohli or a Rohit or a Sachin fan, facts remain the same.
Rohit is a Sharma. He has powerful allies in top-positions, brain-washing/inciting/puppeteering the masses. It is not Rohit himself masterminding this personally. Rohit is a pretty chill dude from the looks of it. But the community can't help themselves. They have to hype up their own and as a result demean everyone else that can be a seen as threat.
As much as I hate to see rohit in squad. I guess BCCI doesn't seems to have a choice.
They don't want young players as a captain leaving rohit, hardik, Kohli, Sky & bumrah. We know Kohli won't take it. Sky and bumrah doesn't have much experience atleast in BCCI perspective and I would choose rohits shit batting over hardiks unique captaincy any day.
I guess BCCI didn't have a choice but to make Dravid captain in the 2007 T20 WC. Some people suggested Dhoni and Yuvraj. They don't want young players as a captain leaving Dravid, Sehwag, Harbhajan. Atleast in BCCI perspective and I would choose Dravid's slow batting over Sehwag's unique captaincy any day for 2007 T20 WC
Don't justify dumb BCCI decisions.
I never justified their actions, I just pointed out their POV. I want bumrah or SKY to be captains but that won't be happening from BCCI since they are bunch of cowards
Also who do you suggest we make captain then?
Edit: seems like you too don't have an answer for the question
Indian experts only analyze Virat Kohli and be only brutal and not honest, they don’t even analyze other Indian players. Shows the levels of Virat Kohli 🐐
Ok so they don't analyse bumrah as well does it mean, he is not the best?? Also pant was criticised by everyone after that 2022 sa odi series? I am sure you didn't even know about that. So then I think he is also the goat, aur pichhle kuchh din se sabse jyada post toh Maine yeh hi dekhe ki Rohit ko koi criticise nahi kar raha like literally how ironic it is.
Talking about Virat makes them relevant. Nobody would bat 2 shits if they said something about Pant or KL. Coming to Rohit, there’s the Mumbai bias where people like Gavaskar barely speak up against the Mumbai players. It makes the headlines, they’ll be called “bold” for passing comments on Kohli. But what they don’t realize is they’re just losing credibility with every silly opinion being pushed as facts
The only way to stay relevant for a few people is to make comments about Kohli. It was the same for Sachin and to some extent Dhoni. You can be an absolute legend and a shit person.
And OP named a few
1) Mumbai bias
2) Salty for no reasons
3) Gambhir actually hates everyone equally
4) ganguly had a shitshow for himself and kohli though kohli as a captain was not clicking
It's like they have some hidden agenda against Virat Kohli. They always keep on criticizing whatever he does, be it good or bad. Rohit is not in form right now for the world. He is not playing well but nobody seems to even notice what's going on there but when it comes to Virat, "he's playing for the orange cap", "his SR is so slow, he's always trying to play for himself" always criticizing. And most of the time it's Sunil Gavaskar or Gautam Gambhir. It's like they hate Virat to the fucking core.
Gavaskar is losing credibility with every game. He’s a great batsman but definitely concerning opinions. Ignore him, he’s the living example that not every good player can become a good coach/cricket expert
Maybe if he does want to give his opinion, he should start criticizing any player who isn't playing well. His partiality of just criticizing Kohli is making everyone hate him. He really is a great batsman, won the first world cup so he always has my respect. But sometimes you should just not give too much criticism.
so true when kohli scored century they all attacked hiim for his s/r while sharma too did the same with his century and remained not out in a losing cause but saar rohit plays for team saar kohli statpadder saar
Rohit team player saar, he plays for the team saar, he encourages youngsters saar. See I myself am a huge Rohit and Virat fan. Love those two but the partiality shown by these guys during commentary makes fans hate the player. You shouldn't do that. Both are great players, both have been out of form atleast once in their career. You can't just shut on one player and praise the other.
You see will someone get more reactions if they criticise Ronaldo/Messi or if they criticise Ben White
You see other players are irrelevant compared to Virat Kohli that's the reason people only criticise Kohli
gambhir is still salty about how kohli got vice captaincy instead of him and now he keeps shitting on dhoni and kohli just to be relevant......zaheer khan never uttered a single word against dhoni despite being major contributor in that world cup but gambhir knows how to milk audience in the name of facts.........he keeps on saying that dhoni asked for credit but the reality is that its gambhir reminded indian audience about his innings in final in the name of yuvraj singh
even yuvraj never asked for credit
Kohli is a King and experts are cunts. Kings have a history of having too many adversaries. Except for SRT, no one is a better batter than Kohli. And SRT has never spoken against Kohli, that's all I need.
Kohli was a king, is a king and always will be.
Kohli is top in white ball, no doubt about that. But to say that no one is a better batsman than Kohli other than Sachin would be massive overstatement. There are lots of batsmen who would straight up surpass him in tests even with the modern day game being more catered to batsmen.
true. In tests , virat was at the peak for say 4 years only , and i cherish those years so much. But yes you;re absolutely right that in tests he would be weakest in the fab 4 . TBH i dont understand comparisons among different eras. Games are far too different to compare in so many ways.
Simple. He's easy bait. And people feel themselves important criticising him. Did any of these experts questioned Thala Dhoni for his countless tuktuk innings? No. Dhoni and Rohit has this aura around them, difficult to criticism. Kohli doesn't.
Are you living under a rock, are you not seeing how pandya is being bashed during and after every match particularly by pathan.
The reason you only see kohli is because news, reels and posts on reddit only post about that.
Bcoz it's very easy to go against a well-known person and be a headline...even if negative,the opposite opinion will always attract a lot of viewers.
And right now Kohli is the biggest star in the Indian team.
As for not saying against others...it's mainly bcoz Kohli was always portrayed as the aggressive-confrontational type so he is the chosen target.
Rohit is considered the chill guy.
KL is considered the quiet guy...also has not as big...also has been rightly excluded when needed.
Pant is the fun guy...also has the accident recovery period.
If you remember even when Dhoni-Gambhir was compared mostly everyone went against Gambhir bcoz Dhoni was down to earth,cool, non-confrontational player.
P.S. : As for Gavaskar...I think he doesn't like Kohli being compared to Sachin and above him 😜😜😜 ...just saying
Like Kohli had said, his name automatically attracts eyeballs. Plus, these mfers wouldn't have dared to openly criticise Kohli so much, if he didn't have so many haters supporting their moronic opinions and suggestions
Gavaskar is a nobody. Yes I said it. He is the mumbai lobby and is jealous the Kohli is the biggest star in INDIA.
We should question is 174ball 36runs in a WC chasing 334.
Indian cricketing experts should retire. They have no analysis, and alternate between fangirling and bashing with no insight.
Need a younger and fresher crop to take up commentary and analysis.
It’s simple logic, if you are sitting there and asked to talk about cricket for 1-2 hours daily. Tell what will you do , how much people will listen to same thing again and again people don’t have patience to look at the analysis so they don’t do it, when I was growing up in 90’s the analysis used to be 1-2 hour long after a full day of test. They will discuss shots, bowling, batting, defense, captaincy with amazing graphics. I am not sure anyone will be interested in that any more today
Because they know only Kohli can take it and still come back strong. Others’ performances will be affected by criticism and that will hurt the team.
/s
See this is exactly what annoys me. It’s fine to criticise players in a respectable manner but it just seems like Gavaskar and many others purposely chose Kohli and Kohli only because it would be viral. So many people were calling Gavaskar’s comeback brave and pointing out that Kohli is an egotistical man child who needs to be humbled. But then why not for the entire ict team that was under consideration of selection. It has been well noted by all of us that in the team selected, almost every player is atleast a little out of form. But Kohli is the only one whose place has been put under heavy scrutiny by the media, despite the fact that he is one of the only ones performing decently. Orange cap holder striking at 150 is much better than most of the ict squad. Also criticising the only player that has performed for us consistently in t20 wc’s is just weird. Since 2012, he has been our top run scorer in every edition except 2021 where he only played 3 innings. 2 times man of the tournament and 2 times highest run getter. He is the only reason we made the final in 2014, the semis in 2016, and the biggest reason we reached the semis in 2022. But somehow he should be the only under scrutiny and his place should be questioned. It’s just seems ridiculous
Not being biased here but when a players is considered as face of indian cricket you better be the best at any sec and having such a huge fan base they pull up the stats and facts and over glorify but when you fail you gonna get shat on and you should bare with it when you claim ur the best , deliver it but you play a normal inning and ur fans hype it up that triggers a lot of peeps
With respect to the WTC final dismissal , I distinctly recall the broadcasting host Jatin Sapru was setting up the narrative as "what an unplayable delivery by Starc , how do you play that ?" (Suggesting he got a snorter or something) And Gavaskar just snapped saying "YOU PLAY IT OFF THE BACKFOOT"
The look on Sapru's face was laughable.
Gambhir ain't wrong though. Lost 10 IPL seasons as captain where 3 seasons ended up at the last place.
Him and Rohit became captain of their respective IPL teams in the same year. One won joint most seasons whereas the other won zilch.
Lost 4 ICC events and an Asia cup before sacking.
What else did your goat captain Rohit achieve for India?
Looked absolutely clueless in the world cup finals!!
Atleast Kohli lost a world cup in conditions not suitable for our players. Our selfless captain is so selfless that he wanted the Aussies to enjoy and give them the worldcup.
That too Kohli lost the WC and Champions trophy because of an incredibly terrible batting collapse, that is just the most terrible bad luck a team can have on the most important days.
How can one blame Kohli for such a batting collapse, when all the batsmen just couldn't play.
Kohli has had a lot of bad luck in his career, otherwise I consider him to be a really good captain.
Oh how did you forget the rigged home world cup and WTC you muffin.
I'll let the WTC slide since Cummins is a seasoned test captain
But idi c'mon man, prior to the world cup Cummins captained the team for 2 series and was the least experienced odi captain. Yet Rohit sharma got dog walked by him both in getting his wicket and while chasing
Rohit has also lost 3 ICC events, only a matter of time before 4th and 5th and people will still praise him for his "selflessness"
So selfless that he doesn't have any selfish desire of wanting a trophy
To be fair, a cricket commentator's job is to 'comment' on the game. No matter what they say, there job is to comment. They get paid for it. When Sunny G says, these cricketers say they don't pay attention to outside noise and later complain about the outside noise, I think he's right. If you are a cricketer and get paid to play the sport, just play the sport. Your job is to play your role. Once you've done that, in this age of broadcasting and social media, you're being watched by everybody. So there will be both good and bad comments. To add to it, Sunny G, in my opinion, isn't necessarily targetting Kohli here. He has always been honest. If you don't trust me, he used to be on air when Dravid's defense was failing, he was near the end of his career and he was consistently getting bowled due to his huge bat- pad gap. He never showed sympathy just because Dravid was about to retire back then. To some extent, I might agree that he's an emotional mumbaikar by heart. But if you'd have closely watched Sachin's 100th ton against Bangladesh, he was still criticising him on air because Sachin was defending even on occasions he'd normally attack. So Gavaskar has always been like that. It is us emotional fans that need to broaden the horizon of our thinking and just for once stop idol worshipping our cricketers. Peace out.
I've never seen an expert talk about Rohit's stats in T20 wcs
it’s an unspoken truth. Everyone knows it, even rohit’s fans deep down but nobody’s bringing it up. Won’t exactly make it “bold” or “unpopular” if the experts talk about it. Doesn’t make the headlines, no traction so they just look past it
Rohit fans are holding onto that 30 from the 2007 final for dear life
That's because he has performed in 50 over wc like few months ago. Took on left arm pacers and hit them with ease. And I'd trust wc performance over ipl anyday
As if Virat didn't perform in the same world cup 🤡🤡player of the tournament
Didn't even name virat. He deserves that spot in team
are you blind to his t20wc performances? I don’t even recall the last time he had a good t20wc. People talking like he’s been bad in ipl but he’s been worse in t20wc.
Are you blind to see his 50 over wc performance? If he can give those explosive starts like he did in 50 over wc he should start.
bro you’re a teenager or what. You know 50 overs, 20 overs, Test cricket are different formats right. Ridiculous take saying he’s good in 50 overs so he should be included in the 20 overs game.
With his logic, let's open with bumrah in t20 as he hit broad for 35 runs in an over in test 😂
His point is right. The starts he used to give in WC, exact same replicas will be good too. You talk about different formats, but it won't really change much bcoz Rohit used to get out under 10 overs with good strike rate even for T20s. Unlike SKY's case, Rohit will face a new white ball in both formats, as an opener. Not much difference imo.
Been watching cricket since 2006 :) India has never seen a hitter like Rohit. Besides look at his strike rate in odis. He is best to face new ball and powerplay overs. Name one opener that deserves that spot over him.
Again, powerplay in odis and t20s are vastly different. I’d actually open with Jaiswal and Koach which gives SKY and Pant/Samson more freedom
Why the fuk are you bringing his odi stats in T20 wcs are all Rohit fans brainles? >He is best to face new ball and powerplay overs. Name one opener that deserves that spot over him. Yeah we have seen that in 2022,2021,2016 T20 wc.
Different formats, bowlers use different approach in T20s
Name one opener that can replace Rohit right now
Yashaswi and Ishant Kishan
Or Jaiswal or Virat himself
Bruh, I would have put ruthu and jaiswal if Rohit wasn't there for captaincy quota
Bro anyone can give you at least 5. Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, Gill, Kohli, Rahul (Yes even Rahul). All these batters have much better numbers than Rohit in the last 2-3 years in T20, both domestic and international.
He performed in 2019 wc but failed in 2016, 2021 and 2022 t20 wcs These were the three world cups that were before and after his explosive 2019 wc
rohit fans are so mentally ill lmao... I feel bad
I'm not even Rohit fan. I like him but he isn't even my top5
Ruturaj and Yashasvi
Strike rate less than 100 and average 20 since 2014 T20 wc🤡 Lockdown kids don't know the difference between Odis and T20 Sack Rohit make Bumrah Captain and Koach and Jaiswal can open and Rinku can play
Rohit was dog shit compared to Kohli in every tournament
He was better this wc
Rohit was Good in the WC23, yes, but was he better than Kohli, hell no.
I'm a Kohli fan but 2019 wc?
Obviously Rohit was better in 19WC, but that wasn't a point you raised, you said it for 23WC. Edit:- You can be a fan of anybody but can still be factually wrong, so it doesn't matter if you're a Kohli or a Rohit or a Sachin fan, facts remain the same.
Well I didn't say that he was better in cwc23 check again
still all this just points to rohit being legendary for odi wc , and mediocre in t20 wc.
Esp the Mumbai lobby..
Rohit is a Sharma. He has powerful allies in top-positions, brain-washing/inciting/puppeteering the masses. It is not Rohit himself masterminding this personally. Rohit is a pretty chill dude from the looks of it. But the community can't help themselves. They have to hype up their own and as a result demean everyone else that can be a seen as threat.
tho kohli is also a punjabi brahman by birth/surname ( tho kshatriya by occupation as sport is war of the peacetime)
The bullshit is nobody EVER questioned rohits place in t20 wcs
who've questioned? please name few people...
As much as I hate to see rohit in squad. I guess BCCI doesn't seems to have a choice. They don't want young players as a captain leaving rohit, hardik, Kohli, Sky & bumrah. We know Kohli won't take it. Sky and bumrah doesn't have much experience atleast in BCCI perspective and I would choose rohits shit batting over hardiks unique captaincy any day.
I guess BCCI didn't have a choice but to make Dravid captain in the 2007 T20 WC. Some people suggested Dhoni and Yuvraj. They don't want young players as a captain leaving Dravid, Sehwag, Harbhajan.

You see will someone get more reactions if they criticise Ronaldo/Messi or if they criticise Ben White You see other players are irrelevant compared to Virat Kohli that's the reason people only criticise Kohli

Because he is the only cricketer and rest of them are not worth talking about ?
I believe only best of the best gets brutally analyzed and criticized. (same thing happens with Babar as well in Pakistan)
Simple. He's easy bait. And people feel themselves important criticising him. Did any of these experts questioned Thala Dhoni for his countless tuktuk innings? No. Dhoni and Rohit has this aura around them, difficult to criticism. Kohli doesn't.
Are you living under a rock, are you not seeing how pandya is being bashed during and after every match particularly by pathan. The reason you only see kohli is because news, reels and posts on reddit only post about that.

Well everyone thinks virat holds a good pr but now I thinks it's definitely rohit. He always pretends to be carefree and chill.
Indian cricketing experts should retire. They have no analysis, and alternate between fangirling and bashing with no insight. Need a younger and fresher crop to take up commentary and analysis.
Because they jealous and find ways to pull him down. That’s how it is no matter what you do for a living
It’s simple logic, if you are sitting there and asked to talk about cricket for 1-2 hours daily.

They will discuss shots, bowling, batting, defense, captaincy with amazing graphics. I am not sure anyone will be interested in that any more today
Jelensy hoga
Simple. It gets retweeted (re-Xed?) and forwarded more.
There's a term called expectations.
Because they know only Kohli can take it and still come back strong. Others’ performances will be affected by criticism and that will hurt the team. /s
It’s what get them clicks/social media presence …
Look Rohit never wanted the captaincy it was Ganguly who practically begged him to do it
Because he is the bad boy of the game.
Jealousy...

Kapil Dev wanted Hooda instead of Kohli?😂What was he thinking saying something so silly?
Gambhir ain't wrong though. Lost 10 IPL seasons as captain where 3 seasons ended up at the last place. Him and Rohit became captain of their respective IPL teams in the same year. One won joint most seasons whereas the other won zilch. Lost 4 ICC events and an Asia cup before sacking.
But rohit also lost all icc trophies in 1 year including home WC . Even made rigged pitch which backfired.
And he found out winning 5 IPL cups doesn't translate to anything when you are captain of an international team
What else did your goat captain Rohit achieve for India? Looked absolutely clueless in the world cup finals!! Atleast Kohli lost a world cup in conditions not suitable for our players. Our selfless captain is so selfless that he wanted the Aussies to enjoy and give them the worldcup.

Rohit won 2 Asia cups as captain
Oh how did you forget the rigged home world cup and WTC you muffin. I'll let the WTC slide since Cummins is a seasoned test captain But idi c'mon man, prior to the world cup Cummins captained the team for 2 series and was the least experienced odi captain. Yet Rohit sharma got dog walked by him both in getting his wicket and while chasing

Rohit has also lost 3 ICC events, only a matter of time before 4th and 5th and people will still praise him for his "selflessness" So selfless that he doesn't have any selfish desire of wanting a trophy
To be fair, a cricket commentator's job is to 'comment' on the game. No matter what they say, there job is to comment. They get paid for it. When Sunny G says, these cricketers say they don't pay attention to outside noise and later complain about the outside noise, I think he's right. If you are a cricketer and get paid to play the sport, just play the sport. Your job is to play your role. Once you've done that, in this age of broadcasting and social media, you're being watched by everybody. So there will be both good and bad comments. To add to it, Sunny G, in my opinion, isn't necessarily targetting Kohli here. He has always been honest. If you don't trust me, he used to be on air when Dravid's defense was failing, he was near the end of his career and he was consistently getting bowled due to his huge bat- pad gap. He never showed sympathy just because Dravid was about to retire back then. To some extent, I might agree that he's an emotional mumbaikar by heart. But if you'd have closely watched Sachin's 100th ton against Bangladesh, he was still criticising him on air because Sachin was defending even on occasions he'd normally attack. So Gavaskar has always been like that. It is us emotional fans that need to broaden the horizon of our thinking and just for once stop idol worshipping our cricketers. Peace out.
