Virat Kohli is the man in the deep end of the pool ever since he displayed an aggressive retort never before seen by Indians. Before we go any further let me present the entire case.
On Sunday, April 28, 2013, Royal Challengers Bangalore was playing Mumbai Indians at the latter’s home ground of Wankhede Stadium. While stealing a run, MI batsman Ambati Rayudu found the crease but was controversially adjudged out after Kohli’s throw took the bails off in the very moment when his bat went in the air following a collision with RCB bowler Vinay Kumar. It was Kohli’s decision to seek the third-umpire’s intervention that Rayudu was given out. Later, RCB lost the match by 58 runs. All through the match after the incident and during the time of the award ceremony, the crowd in the stadium continued jeering at Kohli while unanimously chanting “cheater-cheater”. This pissed off Kohli and he did not mince any words in criticizing the Mumbai crowd.
This was Kohli’s response to the booing he faced from the Wankhede crowd:
“As far as the crowd is concerned, it has happened to a few players in the past as well. I don’t know why they get so worked up during IPL. IPL is not the end of the world. And they forget that the players they are booing for also play for their country. It is only creating hatred among the players. When I come back and play for India, they are going to cheer for me. It doesn’t work that way. You come to Bangalore and you see how Indian players are appreciated…I don’t know what is wrong with people in this venue. It feels a bit weird because at the end of the day you play for India and you don’t come here to be hated…People appreciate good cricket. I don’t know why people have so much aggression and so much hatred towards other teams in this particular venue.”
Virat Kohli is being severely criticised for showing an inflated ego and an arrogance level higher than the entire Australian team. But, above everything else, it is clear that Kohli is delusional and is living under an old-world belief. He is delusional because he thinks that the crowd should behave in a way he expects it to. He is living an old-world belief because he thinks that the crowds must respect every Indian player just because he plays for the country.
