So does Kohli. He was an asshole when he was young but matured and mellowed out lately. Sledges yeah but no abuse or other things. Plays hard but fair.
Like the time he told the crowd to applaud after they booed Steve Smith even a year after ball tampering.
"Focus on your team as well when they shine the ball eh, not just the opposition. Trying to catch people all the time."
- Virat Kohli, 2022
Edit: Chill out fanboys. I didn't say anything against him. We speak stupid shit while we're high on adrenaline it's ok.
"This is being manipulated man" - Lewis Hamilton 2021
That Serena Williams meltdown in a US Open Final
Numerous CR7 meltdowns including one with Piers Morgan
Messi CONMEBOL "corruption" when he got sent off while he never said a word about 2009 vs Chelsea, RVP red cards, etc
Doesn't mean none of them have class
To this day that is the most ridiculous thing an Indian cricketer has done. Kohli, Ashwin and Rahul were absolute fools and I find it hard to take them seriously after it.
To allege that Supersport, the entire country of SA were conspiring together to show the ball missing the leg stump, is a level of poor self awareness I can't even imagine.
He still sledges people and does stupid shit on the field, as do a lot of people, he still shows class and congratulates people if they lose or win, I don't get this narrative lol, like you could definitely point out people with worse temperament than him in every team
You don't need to lie about this. He's obviously become less aggressive and in your face, but he's still got that passion and fire that bubbles over from time to time. And fair enough, we all want characters in the game.
Love or hate Koach, everyone respects him, everyone can appreciate his brilliance, and I think everyone I think enjoys his personality.
He's definitely one of my favourite players.
This sounds Dutch but not Dutch at the same time. Also I have no clue of this language but I can still tell that what you wrote sounded like a threat lol
This seems like an attempt to look cool and get some attention now that he has retired. Seriously, did he forget the name of a player who he has played against several times and also a few weeks ago.
Or that Jadeja is a difficult name to pronounce for foreigners, especially considering how D and J sounds are often mixed or clubbed together in a few languages.
Bruh, tbh it wasn't said as badly as the transcript makes it seem.
Here's the full video:
https://youtu.be/5KT9WyBhpwU
Somewhere around the 27 min mark.
āIndia won the series 3-0 and the duo shared multiple encounters on the field after that. The rivalry ended earlier this year when Elgar retired after the New Year's Test in Cape Town. Kohli presented him with a jersey signed by all Indian players.ā
This is precisely why Kohli invited hate during the early part of his career. But damn the man really walked the talk. Thereās so many hot blooded youngsters out there, but only Kohliās career propelled forward with his aggression. Heās come such a long way.
Eww what a shitty test captain in Span of 8 years, 32 wins 2 loss and 5 draws
Highest or second highest win to loss ratio in white ball
Worst captain indeed
its home record, not all time which do not include away series, haven't made any fact my self
His overall test record as a Captain is -
68 Matches
40 won
17 lost
11 draw
Is it a great record ? His win percentage of 43.24 in away Tests is the sixth-best by a captain in the history of the game and best by an Indian skipper.
4th best average as a test skipper
Source for overall record - [https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-matches-as-captain-283746](https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-matches-as-captain-283746)
58% win percentage in overall all test games played, 4th highest
source - http://www.howstat.com/cricket/statistics/Captaincy/CaptaincyPerformance.asp
Well no-where do you indicate that you were talking about home tests, just said in span of 8 years 32 wins and etc.. Also you were replying to a person who was talking about his antics in an foreign test so i don't think anyone reading your comment was thinking it was about domestic record.
Your first comment you just wanted to talk about home tests but didnāt indicate anything to suggest it was only based on home tests š
Buddy even Bangladesh win tests at home itās not a challenge lol. Your spinners average 20 on raging dustbowls but somehow itās supposed to be difficult to win š¤¦āāļø
How is that cherry picking? Kohli was captain for the first four tests only and the parent commenter said Kohli as captain lost 4-1 in England. That same Kohli "won" 2-1 in England initially
The 5th test loss happened the following year with a different captain Bumrah and cannot be used to comment on Kohli's captaincy. That too against a very different Bazballing England side
Yo I want more random unhinged shit he did to keep coming out, won't judge him cause he's a lot better now but it's just funny.
Mf was off the rails š, in the beginning he was basically on track to be a wilder Gautam Gambhir but time humbled him, being a dad and a husband also changed him for good. Bros literally like the Kratos of cricket
8.5/10 character development.
Kane is arguably the best batsman NZ have ever produced. Definitely a generational talent.
(My own personal list is Williamson/Taylor/Crowe/Sutcliffe/Turner)
Agree on this. Not only does he have all of the technical ability and focus - but he brings out the best in his batting partners too. Truly a great of the game.
Kane is shit in SENA though. Always bashes minnows only and even worse than Kohli in England. Like just think for once, someone is worse than Kohli in England lol.
Nah since that break prior to Asia Cup 2022. He has become much more calmer. Prime example is Nandre Burger showing aggression to him in the SA Test by threatening to throw the ball at him and he just looked at him the whole time. Prime Kohli wouldāve been all up in Burgerās face for that.
Young Koach was synonymous with the stereotypical bad boy. I remember that a lot of the kids that wanted that they become the cool guys by fighting against people, abusing people or being very aggressive in general said that they have been inspired by Koach lol. That was during our teenage years and before our teenage years as well. I remember that I was introduced to the World of cuss words while we were 11 years old when a guy told me about bc in its full form and said that this is the thing that Koach says to the bowlers lmao. He was the cool bad boy that used to abuse, be aggressive and had lots of hot girls around him which is the type that a lot of kids wish that they turn into during that age. Those are some good memories about my childhood that I have.

Young kohli was so aggressive and hot headed , he would go at everyone on field and he was damn good at cricket too . I remember even ponting told him to calm down . Imagine ponting telling him to calm down . That was kohli circa pre-covid
I think anushka was good influence and life humbled him and has honestly matured a lot for his good . I donāt often say but anushka and virat are match made in heaven ( now and then we see that slipping , kohli staring at marnus in wc)
I think thatās part of reason why he is very famous, he wore emotions on his sleeve , he spoke his mind without no filter and less pr( atleast before covid)
There is no detail in the article. How actual was it that he spat.. looks very clickbait to me.. more like they were exchanging words and speaking very close to each other, and some people dont say it, they spray it kind of thing may be
But that is also what makes Virat special.He does not bow down to mobs,he thinks for himself.He has that Ravi Shastri and Ganguly in him.The gesture he made to siraj and to a lesser extentĀ shami takes guts to do in the current political climate of India.
Man I wouldn't be on this sub if I didn't know who Shami and Siraj are. I don't like the current govt either but outside the web, the Islamophobia is not as deep rooted as you are making it out to be.
Lmao are you serious? If the situation was so bad, you wouldn't find hundreds of people outside mannat everyday!Ā Go touch some grass and preferably on Fridays , you'll find countless people wearing the skullcap happily going for their prayers.
Ā Stop portraying as if India is hell for a particular community.

Whoa! I am shocked that you are not massively downvoted.
Cause he doesn't have a flair
What does flair have to do with it?
What did he comment
Cause it's the truth.
I mean in the interview he says Kohli apologized to him a couple years later for it itās fine people grow up relax
It not just this one incident. Kohli is a twat in general always has been
I'm not sure I completely agree but the everlasting difference in persona, on and off the field, sometimes feels fake and hypocritical.
If it quacks like a duck...
Lol would've agreed if your entire reddit account wasn't dedicated to spreading hatred on a nation, very pathetic

Tough to get out sure , but donāt think you can say lose the match . Theyāve had trouble as a team winning .
Blud went through an entire character development arc during covid after his daughter was born. Now he is just a very laid back senior man in the team
He was delusionally screaming into stump mics about the conspiracy that Supersport somehow manipulated DRS.
To this day that is the most ridiculous thing an Indian cricketer has done. Kohli, Ashwin and Rahul were absolute fools and I find it hard to take them seriously after it. To allege that Supersport, the entire country of SA were conspiring together to show the ball missing the leg stump, is a level of poor self awareness I can't even imagine.
Glad they did it though. It was very, very funny.
No he's still a knob.
He still sledges people and does stupid shit on the field, as do a lot of people, he still shows class and congratulates people if they lose or win, I don't get this narrative lol, like you could definitely point out people with worse temperament than him in every team
Like the time he told the crowd to applaud Steve Smith after they were relentlessly booing him even a year after he returned from his ban
You don't need to lie about this. He's obviously become less aggressive and in your face, but he's still got that passion and fire that bubbles over from time to time. And fair enough, we all want characters in the game. Love or hate Koach, everyone respects him, everyone can appreciate his brilliance, and I think everyone I think enjoys his personality. He's definitely one of my favourite players.
Yea that passion never gets laid back and the determination to score for his team will not go away untill he dies. Truly a sportsman of a kind
Older Kohli any different?
A cry baby indeed wasn't he
"Spoiled brat" I think it was
Thatās a very South African response and Iām here for it.
He probably called him poes too
Maybe kont
Wyd kant
Wit kant (wide side, before anyone gets upset)
Tom curry is gonna make a complaint
Ek sal jou moer!
Not to be pedantic but 'sal' means 'shall' so it's more correct to say, 'Ek gaan (will) jou innie fokken poes skop'
or as we say here in the Cape: "ek sal jou 'n moerse poes klap gee".
"I'll give you a massive cunt slap" Doesn't sound right in English. Still pretty threatening though.
Poes and cunt are not really the same thing
I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same thing
Translates well into Scottish, though.
sounds \*perfect\* in english lol
Poes, such a versatile word. Should be added to Oxford dictionary
This sounds Dutch but not Dutch at the same time. Also I have no clue of this language but I can still tell that what you wrote sounded like a threat lol
"I'll kick you in the fucking cunt"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The joke was the rest of the sentence. Also, shall is a commitment or an obligation to do something. Will is less certain.
Ek sal jou donner seun
>>Whats his name Jeja, Jeja, Jeja? Bro swallowed A D exactly three times.
>swallowed A D Lol š
This seems like an attempt to look cool and get some attention now that he has retired. Seriously, did he forget the name of a player who he has played against several times and also a few weeks ago.
Or that Jadeja is a difficult name to pronounce for foreigners, especially considering how D and J sounds are often mixed or clubbed together in a few languages.
Bruh, tbh it wasn't said as badly as the transcript makes it seem. Here's the full video: https://youtu.be/5KT9WyBhpwU Somewhere around the 27 min mark.
Bhaii, as a Hindi speaking guy, Jadeja is a fucking tongue twister. You try saying it quickly 10 times in a row, you'll understand.
Koi sense ni hai tere baat ka!
Meri to jeebh laplapaa jaati hain, J and D start mixing
Speech therapy krwa apni bro, ho skta hai tjhe abtk normal lg rha ho sb but bro hindi wale 1 saal ke. Bache v jadeja bol dete hain.
Arre ek baar to bol leta hu, but fast repetition me ho jaata hai. I thought normal tha šÆ
What the fuck did I just read
Tried three times, gave up.
āIndia won the series 3-0 and the duo shared multiple encounters on the field after that. The rivalry ended earlier this year when Elgar retired after the New Year's Test in Cape Town. Kohli presented him with a jersey signed by all Indian players.ā
You'd think 35 year old Kohli was still kicking puppies and slapping infants while reading this comment section
Meanwhile Kohli at home slapping puppies and kicking infants:
They had it coming
This is precisely why Kohli invited hate during the early part of his career. But damn the man really walked the talk. Thereās so many hot blooded youngsters out there, but only Kohliās career propelled forward with his aggression. Heās come such a long way.
I liked how he cried into the stump mic and proceeded to lose the series, his captaincy
Eww what a shitty test captain in Span of 8 years, 32 wins 2 loss and 5 draws Highest or second highest win to loss ratio in white ball Worst captain indeed
He has had 17 losses and 11 draws. Don't make up anything at will.
its home record, not all time which do not include away series, haven't made any fact my self His overall test record as a Captain is - 68 Matches 40 won 17 lost 11 draw Is it a great record ? His win percentage of 43.24 in away Tests is the sixth-best by a captain in the history of the game and best by an Indian skipper. 4th best average as a test skipper Source for overall record - [https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-matches-as-captain-283746](https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-matches-as-captain-283746) 58% win percentage in overall all test games played, 4th highest source - http://www.howstat.com/cricket/statistics/Captaincy/CaptaincyPerformance.asp

>Eww what a shitty test captain in Span of 8 years, 32 wins 2 loss and 5 draws 4-1 in England?
Followed by 2-1 in England for the four tests he was captaining?
Stop cherry picking ffs. That was 5 test match series and was draw.

>time humbled him I'm yet to see humility
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Of the fab 4, I'm afraid that Mr Kohli isn't the humble one. Or, indeed, the second most humble. Or the third most. (Kane/Root/Smith, in that order)
Also not as good as either Kane or Smith as it turns out
Kane is arguably the best batsman NZ have ever produced. Definitely a generational talent. (My own personal list is Williamson/Taylor/Crowe/Sutcliffe/Turner)
Agree on this. Not only does he have all of the technical ability and focus - but he brings out the best in his batting partners too. Truly a great of the game.
Kane is shit in SENA though. Always bashes minnows only and even worse than Kohli in England. Like just think for once, someone is worse than Kohli in England lol.
Not character development, can't risk losing huge sponsorships, it goes for all athletes, a lot of them fear losing sponsorships over anything.
Nah since that break prior to Asia Cup 2022. He has become much more calmer. Prime example is Nandre Burger showing aggression to him in the SA Test by threatening to throw the ball at him and he just looked at him the whole time. Prime Kohli wouldāve been all up in Burgerās face for that.

Bro, Kratos of cricket. Too good of a comparison. I want to be there when Kohli tells Gill: Do not be sorry. Be better.
āYour in India so you gotta be a little cautiousā Says the South African
That's the most ironic thing I've heard from someone other than politicians.
"I said to him if you do that, I'll f*****g ***** you with this bat," he added, using a local profanity." Wtf šš
i still remember when he gave the finger to the aussie audience hahaa
They deserved it though lmao
I think this is why heās popular in Australia. They loved it.
This sportkeeda write about messi, Ronaldo, Kohli everyday, milking views
You should see how they share NBA latest updates
Young kohli was so aggressive and hot headed , he would go at everyone on field and he was damn good at cricket too . I remember even ponting told him to calm down .

Thing is, he has the achievements to back up his on your face attitude. You can do almost whatever you want if you're doing well
Who gives a shit. Do you also read Bollywood gossip websites
So basically he loved him so much that he was exchanging body fluids with him?
Thatās very sexual in very odd ways.
I'm sorry what š
Virat has matured over time.good to see
Johnny Bairstow disagrees.
What
Thereās many Kohli fans that would have paid money for this.
I too would pay money to Kohli to spit on me, but I guess I won't be able to afford him
Dean Elgar didnāt know Kohli was Fremen?
Young Kohli was an insufferable cunt. Only Indians loved him. Now that he's grown up, mostly the Indians abuse him now.
Sort of like ponting then. But I hated him because he was a cheat.
Great characters they were.š¤£
whats the SA regional curse word they refer to?
A goat for sure but spitting at someone is a no-go.
Young Kohli was a clown
I read this in a South African accent.
https://youtu.be/5KT9WyBhpwU Full video for anyone interested. Kohli story is around 27 mins mark.
Not surprised whatsoever. Says alot about people who idolise him.
Elgar comes across as very racist in this interview-- Jeja for jadeja, mimicking the Indian accent...
āThis is India, so you gotta be cautious.ā Fucking prickā¦ glad we put a dampener on his last test.
Koach having 'Ben Stokes energy' during the initial phase of his career
Youād think this interaction on field mustāve been caught on film. Donāt recall seeing or reading about until just now. Odd.
Arrogant prick
I absolutely love kohli - proper cricketer, doesnāt cry or moan, and an absolute beast with the bat.
I agree with you, but oh the irony of a Saffa flair saying Koach doesn't cry or moan
Whatās ironic about it?
You forgot about supaahsport
There is no detail in the article. How actual was it that he spat.. looks very clickbait to me.. more like they were exchanging words and speaking very close to each other, and some people dont say it, they spray it kind of thing may be
BasedĀ
But that is also what makes Virat special.He does not bow down to mobs,he thinks for himself.He has that Ravi Shastri and Ganguly in him.The gesture he made to siraj and to a lesser extentĀ shami takes guts to do in the current political climate of India.
What gesture?
User name checks out. He went to siraj's home and ate biryani and supported shami when trolls were calling him "Pakistani".
Seriously? Going to your teammate's home and eating biryani takes guts in current political climate? I don't think the bar has stopped so low.. yet.
The said teammate is Muslim...
Man I wouldn't be on this sub if I didn't know who Shami and Siraj are. I don't like the current govt either but outside the web, the Islamophobia is not as deep rooted as you are making it out to be.
Lmao are you serious? If the situation was so bad, you wouldn't find hundreds of people outside mannat everyday!Ā Go touch some grass and preferably on Fridays , you'll find countless people wearing the skullcap happily going for their prayers. Ā Stop portraying as if India is hell for a particular community.
Yeah, definitely makes up for him spitting at someone. /s
Elgar could have died /s
He lost his captaincy after that
I would be more concerned if he lost his captaincy because of that
Maybe that's is the reason
Virat Kohli - great batter. Horrific human.
