In the ongoing Cricket World Cup in India, the Indian team secured their position to enter the semi-finals by securing their fifth consecutive win, while legendary cricketer Virat Kohli surpassed Mohammad Rizwan and Rohit Sharma in the list of highest run-scorers. have reached the first number.
Chasing a target of 274 runs against New Zealand last night, he scored 95 runs and fell short of a century. He had scored a century in the previous match.
Despite all of Virat Kohli’s outstanding performance and support for the Indian team, there is a troll army on social media that never stops writing against him.
When he took a catch on the boundary last night in an attempt to complete his century, many users gave him nicknames like ‘selfish’ and ‘chokli’.
While there is no dearth of people calling Virat Kohli Goat i.e. Greatest of All Time, many people are also calling him ‘Chowkali’ i.e. ‘Choker’ after his name Kohli.
If Virat Kohli manages to score a century tomorrow, he would have equaled the 49 centuries of Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the ‘Bhagwan’ of cricket in India.
Babar cannot be compared to Kohli
Kohli is at the fore when it comes to chasing the target successfully and his record speaks for it. Chasing the target successfully, he scored 5786 runs in 96 innings with 23 centuries and 25 fifties and averaged over 90 runs.
During last night’s match, his exploits were being repeatedly presented on the TV screen.
A user named Vipin Tiwari compared Kohli and Babar Azam and wrote that ‘Babar Azam has scored 5492 runs in his entire ODI career while Virat Kohli has scored 5786 runs only successfully chasing the target. Therefore, they should not be compared to the king of plastic.
If Babar Azam is currently number one in the ranking but Virat Kohli is leading among his contemporaries. He has scored 13437 runs in 274 innings including 48 centuries and 69 fifties.
In the current World Cup, he is leading with 354 runs in five innings and his average is 118 runs. After him, Rohit Sharma with 311 runs and Mohammad Rizwan with 294 runs are second and third. Rohit’s average is 62 while Mohammad Rizwan’s average is 98 but he has played one match less than both these Indian cricketers.
Why is Kohli being called selfish?
Earlier in the match against Bangladesh on October 19, Virat Kohli needed 26 runs to complete his century while India needed the same number of runs to win.
In such a situation, KL Rahul playing at the other end helped Kohli complete the century by not scoring runs and Kohli won the match and got the man of the match award. It was his 48th ODI century.
He needed 13 runs for a century against New Zealand last day and India needed the same number of runs to win. Ravindra Jadeja, playing at the other end, was giving him a chance to score a century but he failed to complete his 49th century.
Many users have since written that they have ‘never seen a more selfish man than Kohli.’
Many people are saying that Rohit’s 46 is better than Kohli’s 95 because nobody is more selfish than Kohli.
While several users wrote on his dismissal for 95 runs and not completing a century that ‘every selfish person ends like this’ and that ‘cricket is not for selfish people.’
In response to many such tweets, a user named Arvind Dasari wrote, ‘Stop calling them selfish. If he had not scored 95 runs and had not saved the wicket from one side, India could have lost two or four.
A user named Chetan posted KL Rahul’s statement in bold and wrote that this is for those who call Kohli selfish. According to this statement, KL Rahul said, “I refused to take a run, so Kohli said, ‘If you don’t take a single, people will say we are playing for our personal record.'” We are winning easily, you should complete your century.’
Similarly, one user wrote that ‘Last night when Kohli was on 74 runs and Jadeja hit a six, Kohli was encouraging him. Those who are calling him selfish or vigilant should watch it.
Many people posted the video of Surya Kumar Yadav’s run-out and wrote, ‘You can see an example of selfishness.’
However, the World Cup has entered its second half and now the competition is getting tougher, with all eyes on the performance of each player.
