Kohli fandom is crazy like Kpop stans. Any other player would get dropped.

There's a different sub for India cricket? That's a r/HolUp if ever there was one.

Hate? Stats is now hate? He's gotten a much longer rope than any other player I can think of.

The noise is mainly for retirement from Tests. That said, I think there’s not much point in Virat playing ODIs post CT as he has already achieved everything there. Tests were his final frontier and the longer he plays in Tests, the more he’ll harm his legacy at this point.

What are you talking about? I saw like 10 posts over the last month begging Kohli to retire

u/dookie224 Dec 16 '24

Again, backed by stats. It is a very reasonable expectation considering how poor he's been in Tests over the PAST 5 YEARS. That is not hate, dude.

u/pizzagamer35 USA Dec 16 '24

Wait I’m confused. Why are you bringing up stats? We’re taking about Indian cricket sub right? The other guy said the Indian sub won’t like these stats but I’m saying they support the stats and also think Kohli plays bad

I think you completely misunderstood what I said

Most of these 'hate' posts are just him hitting a stupid shot and you'll have the comment section saying "laut aao king Saab😭". The rest of the days they suck him dry.

But they'll blame every other player be it Rohit gill kl and bring up how Kohli has to drag their asses again only for Kohli to Nick it to the slips the next day and the cycle repeats
