Indian Cricket Fans Give Kohli An Earful After Media Snub
Centurion: Following the test match defeat at the hands of South African, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli appeared to be dejected as he lost his cool during a press conference on Wednesday.
Following the loss in the first two test matches in the series, Kohli's tone and tenor did not go well with the newsmen.
To a question posed by a reporter whether India played the best combination in sub-continent conditions at Centurion, Kohli fired back at him saying: "What is the best 11?, How many test matches have we won out of 34? How many have we won? How many draws? Does it matter? Wherever we play we try to do our best. I am here to answer your questions not to fight with you."
Post Kohli's outburst at the media meet, this is how cricket fans reacted
on Twitter.
Virat Kohli losing his cool during the PC yesterday shows the journey has just started for him and he needs to learn to be humble and accept the defeat with an open mind. — Gautam Sodhi (@GautamSodhi1) January 18, 2018 When you commit a mistake then politely accept it. Such reply implies arrogance of a fool. Player par excellence but a captain below par. Should have played Rahane and Bhuvi in both the tests. #IndvSA — अनुराग सूर्यवंशी (@anurag_surya) January 17, 2018 Beta Ghamand toh Raavan ka bhi nahi tika.. sudhar jao @imVkohli @RaviShastriOfc @BCCI #SAvIND https://t.co/VGHn7uYjtw — विक्रमादित्य सिंह (@nawab_lucknow) January 17, 2018 @imVkohli you should be thankful that you could redeem yourself to some extent courtesy the sub continent like pitch or it could be difficult to score even 15 in swinging & seaming conditions! Don’t be too arrogant. Treat teammates/ur deputy with respect #SAvsInd #IndvsSA — Shail Upadhyay (@ushailendra) January 17, 2018 Yahin gussa agar ground pe nikalta toh result kuch aur hota. — Mrınαl. (@iMrinalSharma) January 17, 2018 Reply as expected, logic less & full of arrogant attitude, everybody choses team after prior performance, you don't do, is error & lack of judging skills on ur part, if you can't select tell me I will do it. A team which will definitely put up a fight & won't surrender like urs — atin s (@BeingAtin) January 17, 2018 Difference between @msdhoni and @imVkohli is so obvious... Lack of class ,calm and coolness — Saifur Rahman (@saifurrhmn90) January 17, 2018 With this arrogance...I can see his career going down the drain! — Daksh (@dakshmoor) January 17, 2018 Arrogance playing its role.... — THE UGLY TRUTH (@pradeepsingh83) January 17, 2018 This arrogance has costed India !!! Winning in South Africa, Australia & England is not as easy as throwing Anil Kumble to accommodate Ravi Shastri unless he listens to wise men and sheds his arrogance !!! — Raghav Giri ?? (@Bhaarathfirst) January 17, 2018 Wow, that was some aggression off field. But on field...? — Ankur Tandon (@tweet_me_80) January 17, 2018
A long way to go for him. Just a beginning. #SAvsIND
There is a difference between arrogance and witty ?
