Virat Kohli is probably the greatest Indian batter in the last decade. The Delhi-born cricketer took the cricketing world by storm with his sensational batting in the past. These days, however, things are far from perfect for the right-hand batter.
Having not scored a century for more than 1000 days, Kohli is going through a bad patch of form that is unprecedented for a modern-day player. He scored the last century in November 2019. Understandably all the fans are hoping for a return to form for the swashbuckling batter and watch each match with absolute optimism in their eyes.
Each match that Kohli fails to score a century, the hope of his return gets weaker and fans become increasingly more enraged. So when the 33-year-old does anything other than practicing or improving his game, people are quick to call him out.
A similar instance took place when the Indian Cricket Board’s official Twitter account posted a video of Kohli introspecting on his life and routine. The video was a teaser of the full interview coming up on Friday but it was enough to irritate many of Twitter users as they found this to be a lot of talk without any meaningful impact from the former India captain.
Before we look into the reactions to Kohli’s video, let’s know that the team India are preparing for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 starting from August 27th. The curtain raiser of the event will be between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India, meanwhile, play their first game of the mega event against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28th.
Let’s look at how Twitter reacted to Kohli’s new video about his approach to his life and day-to-day activities.
He should retire no performance only gives Gyan🤢
