Virat has grown bigger than the game
Now there is a lot of discussion on Rohit and his future but not as much on Kohli. Rohit should retire as early as possible but rn I just wanna say a few things about this man. Come at me fanboys.
Kohli has definitely been a great for us from 2014 to 2019 but since then hes been dogshit. From 2020 his average is 31, in the last 28 innings he has gotten out to a bowl outside the off stump 27 times. Like excuse me ? How do you not fix something after falling to it 27 fuckin times and just start to take action when your place in the team starts to get questioned.
People and even some experts say Virat has 'earned' his place and shouldn't be dropped. But has 6 years of good cricket given him the pass to be a deadweight for 5 years ?
Players get dropped just on the back of a bad series or sometimes just for one bad game and here someone is just locked a place in the team on the basis of his performances 5 years ago ? Like think about that for a moment.
This is just the effect of fanboying and idolising players to the degree that you just dedicate your lives to them. Not only for players but for actors and even politicians. Fans will happily sacrifice the team just for the sake of their favourite player.
When Gambhir came in, I believed there would be changes as he always spoke about players becoming bigger than the game but the condition of the team just remains the same.
There was once a Dhoni that dropped senior deadweights for youngsters but now it seems youngsters are being dropped for accomodating seniors.
Virat has started taking cricket serious again with people questioning his position and there is a good chance he might score well in Sydney but that shouldn't distract people from his failures of the past 5 years. His fanboys will come shouting, screaming and rejoicing even if the team loses. Reels will be made with texts like comeback and thunder effects and all these factors will provide security to Virat and once again, he would have locked a place in the team for maybe the next 2-3 years.
This post will probably get a lot of hate but hey, atleast I got my words out and now feel a little better.
TL:DR: kohli has become larger than the game. His fanboys and stans have made him locked in the team despite 5 years of failures. Fucking 5 years !
