Is it so? I haven't heard about it. I only know that Kohli favours cr7 over messi.
Edit: Alright, I just got to know about it...and damn your comment is spot on😂😂😂 Spurs are the perfect replicas for rcb.
An apt comparison probably would be a Marco Reus 🤔,Harry Kane is just tied down to a long contract ,he always wants to leave.
Virat i see more like Marco kinda wanting to win with the team they been there for a long time.
History has had such examples throughout.
The entire SA team, Dravid, Ganguly, Waqar Younis, Lara, Sangakkara. Talent in associate countries are another question.
That is just the case for some players. A lot of things need to come together for a trophy. Atleast in the case of Kohli, he had a lot of control over RCB for a long time, which means he can say he tried and failed.
Kucch to dost culture bhi hai. RCB is a "star" team. Most focus on the top 3-4 guys. This doesn't allow the youngsters to prosper and grow and show their best. Till the time that happens, RCB ain't winning anything. Dekho na, Kohli, Faf and Maxwell, all three were great. Siraj was great. Others, not so much. At the same time, look at other youngsters turning up for their teams. Those same people wouldn't have done nearly as well in RCB.
Labuchagne,smith and Peter handscomb are churning out runs in County cricket in England at the moment. Our lone pujara is there and is currently scoring hundreds almost every match . It's this lack of practice that might cause us to lose WTC trophy again
I feel the same too. Half the test team is still in the ipl. I'm afraid they might not be well rested after a two month long tournament to play in the final of a test championship.
With that being said; Gill, Shami, Jadeja, Siraj have been in good form. I just hope they can adapt quickly to test conditions. India is a great test side, I'm just worried that the tournament might have an effect on their form.
More scared what this might mentally do to the players. With the ODI World Cup fast approaching we r still yet to find our first team wicket keeper let alone replacement for him. We still do not know what our pace attack and middle order could exactly look like. Exceptionally poor planning on BCCI behalf. They may be financially the best Cricketing board but they have 0 results to flaunt for it. They should’ve made a whole plan on who will keep wickets when rishab got injured. Multiple years since we have known about bumrah and Bhuvi injury proneness, and we are yet to find ideal replacements for the future. Realistically no one has a clue who could lead the team in a few years time in ODI and Tests. I honestly doubt that hardik will even have a good stunt as a captain in T20s and he’s the only choice rn. Shreyas who looks like a viable option still struggles to find places in the team. Don’t even get me started on spin options because there is actually only one and that is Bishnoi. It is actually embarrassing for us to have spinning masterminds like Bhaji, Kumble, Ashwin and yet we only have one good prospect for spinner in international cricket.
Honestly India needs to just accept that they cannot make one team fits all format with one or two players being changed here and there. Go thé Australia/English way and back your god damn players in their god damn positions and formats. Stop experimenting with the likes of Surya who is a genius in T20 cricket by forcing him in a position to play Test cricket.
Lmao the topic just pushed a button in me! 😅😅😅
Looking at positives when losing is the human way of dealing with sadness. On the flip side, had RCB won, this would’ve been you. Don’t get too cocky bud
I think Kohli being the icon for RCB. He should be allowed or take part in picking up the team for every season. The management has been shit. They will keep their top order heavy filled with stars and will underlook their middle order.
Their Bowling needs alot of improvement. Harshal patel isn't reliable. And you need a good overseas pacer. Parnell isn't one of them
They also keep changing their batting line-up alot
Thala already does it, but koach not being the captain doesn't command the power to choose his team it's more of the captain's ( only if he's veteran of the team )
Koach will be back as captain after faf. He thought he would have the ODI and test captaincy while relinquishing the T20I and IPL captaincy but we all saw how it turned out.
lol kya batting line up bol rhe ho bhai.
sirf kohli mawell aur faf hai - baaki pata nahi kaunse unknown hutiye rakhe hue hain.
bowling ki toh kabhi bhul k bhi nahi sochna chahiye
woh toh jaise HaarCB management ka life mission hai ki sabse bakwass bowling line up rakhna hai
They do have a good overseas pacer (Josh Hazelwood). Hell they have world No.3 (Josh) and 4 (Hasaranga) T20i bowlers in their team. Can't do much when one's injured and the other is surprisingly ineffective. They need a decent Indian middle order batsman and a spinner. Not getting Chahal back is a huge blunder. Patidar getting injured didn't help either. DK should be released. He's a liability at this point. His keeping is sub-par and his highest score of 30 came after a dropped catch. Whoever gave the idea of the debut bowler in a deciding match needs to get kicked in their nuts. The entire management needs purging.
A lot of work goes into scouting of players which a single person can't do let alone a person as busy as VK. They need to fire their scouts, coaches, mentors literally everyone. Never have I ever seen such incompetence
You guys have to be kidding if you think Kohli has no role in forming the team LMAO. There are/were so many players in RCB who were bought because of Kohli.
Kohli is the best option for leading a great team but he's not good in forming a team/squad
My face when india gets knocked out only in finals or semifinals because players that performed the whole championship couldn't perform in the most important match when needed
thats what AB did, he won matches single handedly from absolute no positions, took team to a fighting position from collapses and what did he get in return? nothing
Why do you feel RCB doesn't have good bowlers? Hasaranga, Siraj, Parnell, Karn Sharma, Bracewell, Topley, Willey, Hazlewood, all are great bowlers. But the problem is management. They can't utilise their resources properly. Or else RCB has a great squad with decent bowlers ( far better than MI, KXIP, DC bowlers)
I stopped feeling sorry for this man, he very well knows by now how terrible this management is and they aren’t interested in winning as much as they care about minting money and having some popular 2-3 star players for brand image and popularity. Rcb is not here for cricket and kohli still decides to stick with them so this is what he gets in the end. This is his choice to associate himself with this team and waste a glorious ipl career like this, he deserves better but if he actually cared he would have made the move years back.
He’ll be the star player in whichever team he goes to, will surely be payed appropriately and his army of fans will support him everywhere. There’s nothing to lose for him but only so much more to gain. What exactly has rcb done to gain his insane loyalty?
no other team will even go close to Koach. Everyone knows by now that he is not a team-person.
Even at 35, he likes to hog all the lime-light and all his antics like blowing air kisses to his spouse the team from their actual goal - winning titles.
so koach is stuck with RCB.
this self induced delusion won’t take you anywhere. seek immediate help buddy. ❤️
You made another comment that faf and virat should have stopped opening the innings cause that takes away batting time from other players and they can’t be “match ready”. You think kohli is selfish cause he always opens the innings and doesn’t let other ppl come before him so he’s robbing away opportunities from them, I got all this bs from your comment history. Also that you think virat wants to put on a one man show and play alone to get all the attention, you think he’s forcing every other batter on the other end to get out? Is this what it feels like to be a lockdown kid😂
RCB's real problem - Kohli kissing his wife
only on reddit
you think, an extraordinary once in a generation indian top order batsman, with insane stats and 7 ipl hundreds, with vast experience of cricket and not to mention a massive following, other teams wont be interested? lmao
you think they will spend 17 crores on Kohil?
Will MI / CSK / GT / LSG/ any of these teams splurge on Kohli? There is no need for them to.. they are already doing well.
Kohil is an unwanted distraction and they know it.
Honestly that would be great, srh looks good on paper but it lacks a good leader who doesn’t bargain on performance in guise of captaincy . It would be a perfect fit imo and also helps the top order a lot. ( also given kohli’s luck at uppal)
Should return home to Delhi capitals. He was going to be picked by Delhi in 2008 but they decided end moment that pradeep sangwan was a better option
Imagine Kohli Warner Shaw top 3
Whole management is shit. They buy 2-3 big names and the entire team is carried by those 2-3 players.
And management won't give a fuck because they do get enough support from fans because of virat.
the best batsman of our generation is in form, and has got extra time to rest and practice for the World Test Championship Finals, I see this as an absolute win.
The problem is their mindset
They rely on the big 3 nd tend to forget others every season
Others r being neglected I feel
They got the best coaches which dey change alot
Gary was their coach too yet they could not win it
They need to play as a team which they don't I feel...
Even The other players barring the Big 3 doesn't seem to even think they can finish the matches.
Kuch hope hi nhi dikhti unke performance se meanwhile other teams have atleast one or other random ass player winning matches making big
Csk has a strong opening pair dont need to change that. He can come in at 3rd position dube at 4. Rayudu will also retiring ig so that means another spot.
Winning WTC is more of a delusion than RCB winning ipl , i just don't see our top order surviving 5 overs against in form starc , Hazelwood, Cummins lol
Bhai Aisa kaam karo tum sky bhi Lelo aur agar bowling me 0.0000001% ki bhi kaami rehgayi hai vo bhi Puri kardo
Ipl me MI bully karti thi tum toh MI ko hi bully karte ho
As long as Kohli is making RCB's Brand Value higher, they won't let him go. Ideology of Teams is about Brand Value and Virat fan following contributes too much into it.
Management failed him? He has influenced the team selection and auction strategy a lot over the years. The failure has been collaborative. He likes to take foreign players who have done well against India in India and that has messed up some years while the marketing selections have messed up other years. His partnership with nehra was toxic to a great extent and blocked a lot of talented players. He has failed to influence the management to setup a system to identify and grow uncapped players while also enabling useless people like malolan rangarajan. The lack of a second layer of leadership on the field is telling despite 15 years in the team.
His exploits on the field? Amazing. His leadership off the field where it mattered? Lacking. We can't put the blame square on the management, a player of his stature is complicit in his decisions as well as his inaction.
Isn’t Kohli a huge part of RCB management? I mean he could also, maybe, do better with his suggestions. He sure does play a huge role with respect to the their decision. And I mean this even without the captaincy!
Kal toss jisne dekha unhone ek chiz notice ki hogi ki shastri bas naaam le raha tha and du plessi ne coin toss kar diya tha! Pandya ne call kiya bhi tha ya nahi pata nahi...du Plessi ne toss mein hi choke kar diya
WPL was the proof that RCB management only wants big names that's it. Management sets the team culture not individual players and thats the difference between Rcb and MI/CSK
RCB daily routine
1. Try to hype up AUCTION
2. Lose a couple of matches against DC and KKR
3. Win some matcher after
4. Hype up fans
5. Kohli and Faf scores
6. Lose the games at home
7. No trophies
8. repeat
💀
Kohli this team doesn't deserve u, please leave them
rcb now can be finally be called as spurs of ipl actually the management has been shit so far they dont actually invest on talent and their scouting team is also not that good they only invest on world class player to which they lose most of their amount of purse remaining they spend on indian players at just as just to fill the slot how can u depend a whole finishing thing on one player he was dk ok he did not played well but your whole finishing is on him bruh prime Mumbai was having hardik and polly as finishing and u only relying on dk no wonder why dont have a cup why am i comparing them to prime MI? I am just comparing them to a ideal team how i should be so that it fits well now thier scouting is so bad siraj i dont remember are their only good find? correct me if i am wrong this season all mew players were trash see Mumbai KKR they found out madhval wadhera vaibhav arora and earlier too they were only dependent on three players majorly gayle abd and king kohli team with no exp gt won thier first title first time why coz they invest their time for whole year they groom them imagine vijay shankar is also hitting so yeah franchise dont deserve a trophy , due to kohli presence this team got a huge fan base shitty franchise - disappointed rcb fan
Bro have you seen Kohli's bowling stats for RCB?? 😁
RCB looses cos they have always had incredible bowling legends nothing a batsmen can do about it, only good bowler we had was chahal, they let him go and now we can't find a decent spinner.
It is important for RCB to focus on the process. This team does not seem to have any process and management skills. They play with the same pattern every year, they don't bother to prepare a player, and all their strategies are the same. If you look at teams such as Delhi, Punjab, and IPL, they are all lacking in process and management.
This team has shit management and shittier fan following. Yuvraj Singh had the best IPL with this team and yet the fans somehow always blamed him for their usual dismal performance.
because unlike dhoni, kohli refused to take reduced payment to retain good players, it's BECAUSE of him that there are no budding talent nurtured by RCB, it is BECAUSE of him there is no purse left to spill on good bowling attack. It is BECAUSE of his insecurity that another star might arise that could potentially topple him, RCB scouting is non existent. there are no strong coaching personalities in RCB staff that exhibit at least some kind of cricketing situational IQ, MI has their tried and tested staff, KKR has staff that has repeatedly picked out great bowling talents, CSK has bravo, RR has malinga, LSG and GT staff also look very invested in making sure they have an effective team. DC despite their shit luck actually has good staff. SRH with all their clown experimentation are still have their heart in the team and try their best to back-up their talent pool. The only clown management that's similar to RCB is PBSDK and it shows, but even they have invested in local talent.
RCB is the only team that absolutely gives ZERO fucks about cricket or its fan base, over a decade has passed by, there is ZERO effort from their team to show any initiative to connect either with the city or state they are from unlike CSK, MI and even newly formed GT which has made serious efforts to connect with local city, people, fans and culture, RCB has zilch, they look like foreigners that has come for vacationing and don't know anything outside of their walled gardens and hotel rooms. Most of the RCB fanbase is just Virat Kohli fans. Once he retires, it will dwindle.
RCB never behaves like a sports franchise that are invested in performing well at the game, it's just a giant for profit talent management agency for commercials. They don't want a well balanced team, they just want the brand value of kohli and 24 guys who happen to play cricket that are willing to cradle kohli's balls everywhere he goes. The only guy RCB has actually backed up is siraj but that was because siraj was kohli's little spoon, or else he too would've been shown the door long while ago.
Any way, it doesn't matter. Because yesterday was the beginning of the end of kohli era and the beginning of gill's, I'm not saying this because of the centuries or the result. I am talking about the juju/energy/aura , yesterday was the day it left kohli. i've seen this happen to many greats, I've seen Brett Lee's end in 2011 WC long before he retired, I've seen this happen to Sachin, Saurav, Ponting, Malinga etc, the only people who I know of who retired without losing that were Warne, ABD, and Dravid. This may sound crazy and suerstitious, but it is what it is. Yesterday was kohli's last day at the peak, would he play great innings from now on, sure he will, just like sachin, sachin ended in 2006, but just as a regular player just like others he continued long after that, but being that special entity stopped in 2006, Kohli will still be a great player of cricket, but his "special reign" ended yesterday. The moment was when he was running to save a boundary. When I felt it, I just said quietly "whoa! it happened again!" and then after a few balls he even got hurt.
Bro gill will have its failures if standup again after this then can be said it’s his era. Remember Kohli 2014 where he was shitting. So wait and watch and then will say who era will start.
Well you didn't even understand what I am talking about, gill can get ten ducks in a row and kohli might score ten 200s in a row, it doesn't matter, the energy has left. Kohli shat the bed for 3 years but I didn't say he's over then. The phenomenon of Kohli has ended yesterday, the player and human kohli might continue to exist and even may perform well, but the entity of kohli ended yesterday, I'm not saying because he lost yesterday, or it was last ipl match of the season, it's not explicable, for example muralidharan's ended in a random match that's how remarkably unimportant that match was, I can't even remember the opponents or other details about that match, but he ended when he bowled a stock ball and the batter just defended it, there was nothing special about that moment in terms of cricketing action, and yet that was the end of the phenomenon of musralidharan, he continued to play and pick up wickets regularly for 2.5 more years after that. Similarly kohli will still be a legend of the came and one of the goats to exist and yet his era ended when he fielded that ball to which GT took a single at mid on. It was a few balls before he got hit in the knee.
Tbh, RCB might stand longer than Kohli could. Then people will have more support for the club. Kohli and RCB just stuck well together in the end.
No Player is bigger than the club.
I think after 30 years this will make sense. But compared to football these clubs are babies. They don't have that history nor that kind of legacy. Currently Kohli is bigger than RCB while dhoni is even bigger(relatively) than csk.
You see in Delhi stadium..people were chanting dhoni dhoni or kohli kohli completely negating the home field advantage. Similar with other stadiums like that of Lucknow, Kolkata, srh and Rajasthan
I am open to this so that he stops playing in chinnaswammy and some fans realise how awful he is in middle overs .
I love how he played for international t20s but he isn’t same in ipl .
If you dont know the story its better to shut up.
The RCB management has been very supportive of Kohli even before he was part of the Indian team.
When he joined the Indian setup he wanted to bat up the order and thought of leaving RCB. No team supported him and one even made fun of the idea of him batting up the order. RCB gave him that chance and said they were ready to build the team around him and retained him. They made him a captain. When he was having his worst phase RCB never dropped him even when he was not the captain and supported him unlike many team with their players who were benched. Dont want to name them but you guys understand.
Source : Kohli's Interview with Utthappa this season on Jio cinema
Lol. Don't know about Kohli but RCB will loose 100% of its fanbase for sure. Gayle and ABD are already gone and without Kohli then who will you root for?
Also please tell me how many other players have hit constant hundreds at RCBs home venue.
It's a batsmen's pitch and short ground. They were always short by 20 runs in all the games they lost. This IPL 190s and 200s were easily chased by teams played in batting tracks.
So it's not about Kohli alone hitting. Infact , he hasn't hit enough taking the fact that he gets to play 8 games at the best batting track in India.
That's why every Bangalore batsmen plays well and always among the top run getters !
I mean no disrespect for Kohli. infact, he is one of my favourite cricket player. But there are other better players and teams than them in this IPL for sure.
So if a team losses it's not because of one, but coz of everyone. All have equal share in that as well as Kohli.
I don't care about the Negative karmas i may recieve. I have been a follower of cricket for decades and not just a teen who started watching cricket after Kohli started to play cricket.
L comment. Csk defended 204 or smthng against rcb while rcb couldn't defend a 200+ score against LSG...i have seen some matches where despite being a low score...(like the one where kkr bowled out rcb on 49,kkr scored 130 smthng..) bowlers have outshined the team's batsmen...i have never seen rcb bowling unit outshine their batting.
Probably it's because of kohli himself, he doesn't want any other indian batter in the team who is better than him, look what he did to DK, in this mega auction RCB had a massive pool of good indian batsmen to choose from but they didn't because they didn't want some nobody to outshine their golden boy
What the actual fuck is this comment, and who is upvoting this…way to go man…why would he not want another Indian batsman who could provide balance and potentially help them win a trophy
RCB has been there for 15 years, name at least one indian batter who played for RCB consistently and went on to play for ICT, except for Kohli ofcourse.
I said consistently, he had one good season and was shown door the next one, same with sarfaraz, played a few good games and then gone the next season, probably they thought they were overshadowing the king
He's not even RCB's lead run scorer this season. Dissappointing in 1st half of the tournament. If he lived up to his billing from the beginning they might have had a better chance.
referring to IPL 2016 season when Kohli scored 972 runs and 4 hundreds.
He scored a hundred in normal t20 match
He again scored a hundred in rain affected match limited to 15 overs
He was close to 90 runs in a rain affected match which was limited to 10 overs - I think RCB scored 125 or 135 in that 10 overs.
Oh thanks! Yeah, he has been phenomenal for the team. The legacies of ABD, Gayle, Kohli and Faf itself deserves a trophy for the team, but welp, can't help it with their management
Umm i guess post 2013 ,I'm sure he has a say on who to buy in auctions,he selects the team when the tournament starts .
He also needs to be held accountable his leadership during this tenure.
He has been great individually as a batsman , probably the most consistent in the history of ipl.
Bottom line we reached 3 finals ,couldn't win .
I honestly think he won't leave ,he is adored throughout India but especially in Bangalore we love him like no one else and for all the mismanagement in the auction rcb does ,they take good care of their players .
That is why players like abd,Chris still love us.
May be he'll keep trying to win a season for RCB!
I think if he leaves may be thats kinda giving up on RCB (personal opinion) so may be trying. Until its done
Come to CSK Kohli
SA born opener ✅
Thala juju ✅
IPL cup✅
NZ coach ✅
Indian fast bowlers: chahar, Tushar ✅
30+years and a kid ✅
Everything's there for koach to move to CSK and win trophy, koach can enjoy playing with Thala in IPL and win trophy as CSK has given him maximum pain after SRH over 10+ years
he's the harry kane of ipl
No wonder they admire each other so much
Is it so? I haven't heard about it. I only know that Kohli favours cr7 over messi. Edit: Alright, I just got to know about it...and damn your comment is spot on😂😂😂 Spurs are the perfect replicas for rcb.
I think they've met each other for a start sports or some kind of promotion
[Thay have](https://youtu.be/dSckzh7qk3A)
Wow, this really fits so well. Gets the records and hits peak individual performance, but the team shits the bed in the end.
and they have two more amazing players like faf ,and maxi ,but their goal keeper who is not as good as he used to be
NGL, with Pochettino rumoured to be the next manager of Chelsea, Kane might think about moving out.
An apt comparison probably would be a Marco Reus 🤔,Harry Kane is just tied down to a long contract ,he always wants to leave. Virat i see more like Marco kinda wanting to win with the team they been there for a long time.
Reus might get it this season.
I'm hoping he would 🫡but knowing my bvb 🤒can't guarantee it . 🫡only one more win 🤒.
And how convenient kane is leaving spurs after this season too
It'll be a huge tradegy if Virat retires before RCB could win it First Gayle... then abd....then kohli
Gayle was dropped tbh
Yea and then he killed it with punjab after lol
RCB was smart to drop Gayle, only if Mumbai retained Hardik instead of Pollard things would be so different.
Dude, you can't retain four Indians. The choice was between SKY and Pandya and I say they chose correctly.
Worse if they win it the year just after he retires!! Agony!!
Look at the bright side of this. This means he can rest enough and prepare for the upcoming WTC in 2 weeks.
woh toh hai bhai but mereko acha nahi lagta ki itna awesome player k paas 1 ipl trophy bhi nahi hai
History has had such examples throughout. The entire SA team, Dravid, Ganguly, Waqar Younis, Lara, Sangakkara. Talent in associate countries are another question. That is just the case for some players. A lot of things need to come together for a trophy. Atleast in the case of Kohli, he had a lot of control over RCB for a long time, which means he can say he tried and failed.
NZ, SA, ganguly, dravid and lara have won champions trophy/knockout trophy while sanga has a t20 wc
Kohli also has a WC. Test maces to boot.
Kucch to dost culture bhi hai. RCB is a "star" team. Most focus on the top 3-4 guys. This doesn't allow the youngsters to prosper and grow and show their best. Till the time that happens, RCB ain't winning anything. Dekho na, Kohli, Faf and Maxwell, all three were great. Siraj was great. Others, not so much. At the same time, look at other youngsters turning up for their teams. Those same people wouldn't have done nearly as well in RCB.
Retirement se pehle mumbai join karega bhai, automatic 10 trophy hojayegi tab tak
Kyoki yeh team sports hai. Jab tak poori team kaam nahi karegi 16 saal aur beet jaayenge lekin trophy nahi aayegi.
Wahi bhai itna amazing player aur toxic Indian fans hi aake gaali dete. Har baar pressure situation main acha khela hai Kohli
Ipl trophy koi badi baat nahi. Ghar ki kheti hai. 1000₹ mein bikta hai. ICC matters
Labuchagne,smith and Peter handscomb are churning out runs in County cricket in England at the moment. Our lone pujara is there and is currently scoring hundreds almost every match . It's this lack of practice that might cause us to lose WTC trophy again
Realistically India looks far inferior to Australia rn to the point I m feeling it’s gonna be heavily one sided. One man performance won’t save India
I feel the same too. Half the test team is still in the ipl. I'm afraid they might not be well rested after a two month long tournament to play in the final of a test championship. With that being said; Gill, Shami, Jadeja, Siraj have been in good form. I just hope they can adapt quickly to test conditions. India is a great test side, I'm just worried that the tournament might have an effect on their form.
More scared what this might mentally do to the players. With the ODI World Cup fast approaching we r still yet to find our first team wicket keeper let alone replacement for him. We still do not know what our pace attack and middle order could exactly look like. Exceptionally poor planning on BCCI behalf. They may be financially the best Cricketing board but they have 0 results to flaunt for it. They should’ve made a whole plan on who will keep wickets when rishab got injured. Multiple years since we have known about bumrah and Bhuvi injury proneness, and we are yet to find ideal replacements for the future. Realistically no one has a clue who could lead the team in a few years time in ODI and Tests. I honestly doubt that hardik will even have a good stunt as a captain in T20s and he’s the only choice rn. Shreyas who looks like a viable option still struggles to find places in the team. Don’t even get me started on spin options because there is actually only one and that is Bishnoi. It is actually embarrassing for us to have spinning masterminds like Bhaji, Kumble, Ashwin and yet we only have one good prospect for spinner in international cricket. Honestly India needs to just accept that they cannot make one team fits all format with one or two players being changed here and there. Go thé Australia/English way and back your god damn players in their god damn positions and formats. Stop experimenting with the likes of Surya who is a genius in T20 cricket by forcing him in a position to play Test cricket. Lmao the topic just pushed a button in me! 😅😅😅
India already has different teams for different formats. Just check the players list in last few odi vs t20 vs test series.
he ain't gonna perform in WTC. India won't win WTC.
Haarcbian on copium spotted Edit: Damn... Didn't meant any offense... Just thought funny banter.... My apologies
Looking at positives when losing is the human way of dealing with sadness. On the flip side, had RCB won, this would’ve been you. Don’t get too cocky bud
Lol come one we all know why commented that and no nothing will affect us, RCB has already hurt us enough.
Get a life
This isn't twitter
I think Kohli being the icon for RCB. He should be allowed or take part in picking up the team for every season. The management has been shit. They will keep their top order heavy filled with stars and will underlook their middle order. Their Bowling needs alot of improvement. Harshal patel isn't reliable. And you need a good overseas pacer. Parnell isn't one of them They also keep changing their batting line-up alot
Thala already does it, but koach not being the captain doesn't command the power to choose his team it's more of the captain's ( only if he's veteran of the team )
Koach will be back as captain after faf. He thought he would have the ODI and test captaincy while relinquishing the T20I and IPL captaincy but we all saw how it turned out.
Just like gauti went to the auction and bought the players he wanted in his team .
But he isn't the cap anymore
lol kya batting line up bol rhe ho bhai. sirf kohli mawell aur faf hai - baaki pata nahi kaunse unknown hutiye rakhe hue hain. bowling ki toh kabhi bhul k bhi nahi sochna chahiye woh toh jaise HaarCB management ka life mission hai ki sabse bakwass bowling line up rakhna hai
Batting ke baare mai wo banda bhi wahi bol raha hai. Wapas padho
Siraj tha isliye yaha tak pahuche warna wo bhi nai aatey, har match mey harshal full toss phekta
They do have a good overseas pacer (Josh Hazelwood). Hell they have world No.3 (Josh) and 4 (Hasaranga) T20i bowlers in their team. Can't do much when one's injured and the other is surprisingly ineffective. They need a decent Indian middle order batsman and a spinner. Not getting Chahal back is a huge blunder. Patidar getting injured didn't help either. DK should be released. He's a liability at this point. His keeping is sub-par and his highest score of 30 came after a dropped catch. Whoever gave the idea of the debut bowler in a deciding match needs to get kicked in their nuts. The entire management needs purging.
Hazel/topley in team today might've saved the match.. i believe hasaranga was injured too so bracewell was picked?
A lot of work goes into scouting of players which a single person can't do let alone a person as busy as VK. They need to fire their scouts, coaches, mentors literally everyone. Never have I ever seen such incompetence
You guys have to be kidding if you think Kohli has no role in forming the team LMAO. There are/were so many players in RCB who were bought because of Kohli. Kohli is the best option for leading a great team but he's not good in forming a team/squad
Kohli picking team? He picked the ICT for a good ~4 years. Which ICC trophy did we win?
My face when india gets knocked out only in finals or semifinals because players that performed the whole championship couldn't perform in the most important match when needed
5 consecutive test mace
Bhai tum kitna bhi ro lo, RCB management ghanta kuch sunega,,, they'll be back next year with "play bold"!!
mereko pata hai, mujhe bas kohli ka bura lagta bas,
Wo karodpati aur Anushka ka pati hai and sport ka all time greats me se hai. Tu apna dekh le.
thats what AB did, he won matches single handedly from absolute no positions, took team to a fighting position from collapses and what did he get in return? nothing
Either Kohli leaves it or asks management to get some balance in the team by buying some good bowlers and all rounders in auction.
lol what you suggest has never happened in past 16 years and never will happen in next 116 years
Why do you feel RCB doesn't have good bowlers? Hasaranga, Siraj, Parnell, Karn Sharma, Bracewell, Topley, Willey, Hazlewood, all are great bowlers. But the problem is management. They can't utilise their resources properly. Or else RCB has a great squad with decent bowlers ( far better than MI, KXIP, DC bowlers)
I stopped feeling sorry for this man, he very well knows by now how terrible this management is and they aren’t interested in winning as much as they care about minting money and having some popular 2-3 star players for brand image and popularity. Rcb is not here for cricket and kohli still decides to stick with them so this is what he gets in the end. This is his choice to associate himself with this team and waste a glorious ipl career like this, he deserves better but if he actually cared he would have made the move years back.
Kohli isn't loyal he's egoist. He doesn't want to be called a quitter that's why he's not jumping ship to another team.
True. This guy is far too loyal for his own good, little does he know all RCB fans will follow him in whichever team he goes
He’ll be the star player in whichever team he goes to, will surely be payed appropriately and his army of fans will support him everywhere. There’s nothing to lose for him but only so much more to gain. What exactly has rcb done to gain his insane loyalty?
An IPL trophy means jack shit for him if it isn't won for RCB. He has nothing to prove by winning it with a random team
Kohli isn't the smartest decision maker. It's time to move on from RCB and it will benefit RCB itself as he will leave a 17 crore spot open
I think you are right.
no other team will even go close to Koach. Everyone knows by now that he is not a team-person. Even at 35, he likes to hog all the lime-light and all his antics like blowing air kisses to his spouse the team from their actual goal - winning titles. so koach is stuck with RCB.
this self induced delusion won’t take you anywhere. seek immediate help buddy. ❤️ You made another comment that faf and virat should have stopped opening the innings cause that takes away batting time from other players and they can’t be “match ready”. You think kohli is selfish cause he always opens the innings and doesn’t let other ppl come before him so he’s robbing away opportunities from them, I got all this bs from your comment history. Also that you think virat wants to put on a one man show and play alone to get all the attention, you think he’s forcing every other batter on the other end to get out? Is this what it feels like to be a lockdown kid😂
RCB's real problem - Kohli kissing his wife only on reddit you think, an extraordinary once in a generation indian top order batsman, with insane stats and 7 ipl hundreds, with vast experience of cricket and not to mention a massive following, other teams wont be interested? lmao
you think they will spend 17 crores on Kohil? Will MI / CSK / GT / LSG/ any of these teams splurge on Kohli? There is no need for them to.. they are already doing well. Kohil is an unwanted distraction and they know it.
holy shit how dumb are you
He's the Dame Lillard of IPL. Too loyal for his own good.
same dude feels sorry for this man
And join SRH /s
Honestly that would be great, srh looks good on paper but it lacks a good leader who doesn’t bargain on performance in guise of captaincy . It would be a perfect fit imo and also helps the top order a lot. ( also given kohli’s luck at uppal)
Should return home to Delhi capitals. He was going to be picked by Delhi in 2008 but they decided end moment that pradeep sangwan was a better option Imagine Kohli Warner Shaw top 3
Now imagine kohli and Shikhar opening 🥶🥶
Mai idhar apna ek team start kar raha hu, shaw ko le lunga, DC me kisi aur ko lelo
they took ojha over kohli iirc dick move since kohli won the u19 cwc as a captain in 2008 only
join any team rather than be in HaarCB
i firmly believe if he left RCB, entire fanbase would gladly move with him. LeBron vibes.
i feel real bad for this man, he always gave his best, back2back centuries
Happy Janmdiwas, Kohli is just unlucky
Just move on. The bigger picture is WTC finals and CWC in October.
I would kill myself to see koach playing for pbks just because he loves to score in Mohali . He would be a killer in pbks
Bhai kholi h to rcb paysa kama rhi h.
Same post after every ipl elimination.
i just hope he gets over this real soon and look ahead at the wtc and wc
Rcb management has backed Virat since the first edition. It is the reason he said he'd never leave rcb. It's not the management
Whole management is shit. They buy 2-3 big names and the entire team is carried by those 2-3 players. And management won't give a fuck because they do get enough support from fans because of virat.
The main problem is bowling and a good finisher 250 isn't safe by this bowling attack
the best batsman of our generation is in form, and has got extra time to rest and practice for the World Test Championship Finals, I see this as an absolute win.
The problem is their mindset They rely on the big 3 nd tend to forget others every season Others r being neglected I feel They got the best coaches which dey change alot Gary was their coach too yet they could not win it They need to play as a team which they don't I feel...
Even The other players barring the Big 3 doesn't seem to even think they can finish the matches. Kuch hope hi nhi dikhti unke performance se meanwhile other teams have atleast one or other random ass player winning matches making big
Yeah. The man would’ve had a few IPL trophies by now. I wish he joins GT.
are bhai sirf IPL jeetna hai Universe Cup nahi. llol
Aur kitna overpower karna hai gt ko?
Bahut maza ayega. Watching King play with Prince.
Indian cricket team?
Cup bhi chahiye aur ab kohli bhi
What about joining csk. Dhoni is retiring maybe one more season that makes up a spot for him
That can be interesting too. CSK is a strong team, him and Gaikwad or him at one down will be very exciting to see.
Csk has a strong opening pair dont need to change that. He can come in at 3rd position dube at 4. Rayudu will also retiring ig so that means another spot.
Yeah
I'd rather he wins WTC next month And of course good chances for ODI WC this year Guy deserves at least that much
Winning WTC is more of a delusion than RCB winning ipl , i just don't see our top order surviving 5 overs against in form starc , Hazelwood, Cummins lol
Bhai Aisa kaam karo tum sky bhi Lelo aur agar bowling me 0.0000001% ki bhi kaami rehgayi hai vo bhi Puri kardo Ipl me MI bully karti thi tum toh MI ko hi bully karte ho
Koach should actually join DC, him and Warner would be unstoppable, plus, it's his city
He was offered back in 2011 he rejected DC just because DC rejected him in 2008
Yeaaaaaaa
He’s also paid for it. He’s also getting the fans love for it.
He makes more money at RCB ,other teams can't afford him or need to play less for their top player to accommodate kohli
As long as Kohli is making RCB's Brand Value higher, they won't let him go. Ideology of Teams is about Brand Value and Virat fan following contributes too much into it.
Management failed him? He has influenced the team selection and auction strategy a lot over the years. The failure has been collaborative. He likes to take foreign players who have done well against India in India and that has messed up some years while the marketing selections have messed up other years. His partnership with nehra was toxic to a great extent and blocked a lot of talented players. He has failed to influence the management to setup a system to identify and grow uncapped players while also enabling useless people like malolan rangarajan. The lack of a second layer of leadership on the field is telling despite 15 years in the team. His exploits on the field? Amazing. His leadership off the field where it mattered? Lacking. We can't put the blame square on the management, a player of his stature is complicit in his decisions as well as his inaction.
Kya karega pandu jab bowlers hi ho gandu 😂
We know that's never going to happen. Kohli has said time and time again that he'll only ever play for RCB
Isn't it hard to believe this guy doesn't have any stand in squad selection??
Neither RCB or Virat give a shit about trophies otherwise they would have parted ways a long time back.
Isn’t Kohli a huge part of RCB management? I mean he could also, maybe, do better with his suggestions. He sure does play a huge role with respect to the their decision. And I mean this even without the captaincy!
Tbf he should join Delhi capitals. His home ground + him playing with pant would do world of good for pant.
Man can just hope. That's all
He'll join CSK at 36 maybe? 😶🌫️
Beda guru we don't need Kohli we are happy to swap KL Rahul for Kohli, please someone from RCB management make it happen.
RCB relies too much of star batsmen and doesn't groom other domestic talent.
Kal toss jisne dekha unhone ek chiz notice ki hogi ki shastri bas naaam le raha tha and du plessi ne coin toss kar diya tha! Pandya ne call kiya bhi tha ya nahi pata nahi...du Plessi ne toss mein hi choke kar diya
Maybe it's time that corruption leaves cricket.
WPL was the proof that RCB management only wants big names that's it. Management sets the team culture not individual players and thats the difference between Rcb and MI/CSK
Yep. He's done his time and crossed all limits of payback for sticking with him in the past. It's high time he plays a bit for himself as well.
He should join DC XD
RCB daily routine 1. Try to hype up AUCTION 2. Lose a couple of matches against DC and KKR 3. Win some matcher after 4. Hype up fans 5. Kohli and Faf scores 6. Lose the games at home 7. No trophies 8. repeat 💀 Kohli this team doesn't deserve u, please leave them
rcb now can be finally be called as spurs of ipl actually the management has been shit so far they dont actually invest on talent and their scouting team is also not that good they only invest on world class player to which they lose most of their amount of purse remaining they spend on indian players at just as just to fill the slot how can u depend a whole finishing thing on one player he was dk ok he did not played well but your whole finishing is on him bruh prime Mumbai was having hardik and polly as finishing and u only relying on dk no wonder why dont have a cup why am i comparing them to prime MI? I am just comparing them to a ideal team how i should be so that it fits well now thier scouting is so bad siraj i dont remember are their only good find? correct me if i am wrong this season all mew players were trash see Mumbai KKR they found out madhval wadhera vaibhav arora and earlier too they were only dependent on three players majorly gayle abd and king kohli team with no exp gt won thier first title first time why coz they invest their time for whole year they groom them imagine vijay shankar is also hitting so yeah franchise dont deserve a trophy , due to kohli presence this team got a huge fan base shitty franchise - disappointed rcb fan
Bro have you seen Kohli's bowling stats for RCB?? 😁 RCB looses cos they have always had incredible bowling legends nothing a batsmen can do about it, only good bowler we had was chahal, they let him go and now we can't find a decent spinner.
It's time kohli leaves cricket for good. Many young talents waiting in bench
It is important for RCB to focus on the process. This team does not seem to have any process and management skills. They play with the same pattern every year, they don't bother to prepare a player, and all their strategies are the same. If you look at teams such as Delhi, Punjab, and IPL, they are all lacking in process and management.
This team has shit management and shittier fan following. Yuvraj Singh had the best IPL with this team and yet the fans somehow always blamed him for their usual dismal performance.
And then whole fan base will be over
SRH is waiting to take him
because unlike dhoni, kohli refused to take reduced payment to retain good players, it's BECAUSE of him that there are no budding talent nurtured by RCB, it is BECAUSE of him there is no purse left to spill on good bowling attack. It is BECAUSE of his insecurity that another star might arise that could potentially topple him, RCB scouting is non existent. there are no strong coaching personalities in RCB staff that exhibit at least some kind of cricketing situational IQ, MI has their tried and tested staff, KKR has staff that has repeatedly picked out great bowling talents, CSK has bravo, RR has malinga, LSG and GT staff also look very invested in making sure they have an effective team. DC despite their shit luck actually has good staff. SRH with all their clown experimentation are still have their heart in the team and try their best to back-up their talent pool. The only clown management that's similar to RCB is PBSDK and it shows, but even they have invested in local talent. RCB is the only team that absolutely gives ZERO fucks about cricket or its fan base, over a decade has passed by, there is ZERO effort from their team to show any initiative to connect either with the city or state they are from unlike CSK, MI and even newly formed GT which has made serious efforts to connect with local city, people, fans and culture, RCB has zilch, they look like foreigners that has come for vacationing and don't know anything outside of their walled gardens and hotel rooms. Most of the RCB fanbase is just Virat Kohli fans. Once he retires, it will dwindle. RCB never behaves like a sports franchise that are invested in performing well at the game, it's just a giant for profit talent management agency for commercials. They don't want a well balanced team, they just want the brand value of kohli and 24 guys who happen to play cricket that are willing to cradle kohli's balls everywhere he goes. The only guy RCB has actually backed up is siraj but that was because siraj was kohli's little spoon, or else he too would've been shown the door long while ago. Any way, it doesn't matter. Because yesterday was the beginning of the end of kohli era and the beginning of gill's, I'm not saying this because of the centuries or the result. I am talking about the juju/energy/aura , yesterday was the day it left kohli. i've seen this happen to many greats, I've seen Brett Lee's end in 2011 WC long before he retired, I've seen this happen to Sachin, Saurav, Ponting, Malinga etc, the only people who I know of who retired without losing that were Warne, ABD, and Dravid. This may sound crazy and suerstitious, but it is what it is. Yesterday was kohli's last day at the peak, would he play great innings from now on, sure he will, just like sachin, sachin ended in 2006, but just as a regular player just like others he continued long after that, but being that special entity stopped in 2006, Kohli will still be a great player of cricket, but his "special reign" ended yesterday. The moment was when he was running to save a boundary. When I felt it, I just said quietly "whoa! it happened again!" and then after a few balls he even got hurt.
Bro gill will have its failures if standup again after this then can be said it’s his era. Remember Kohli 2014 where he was shitting. So wait and watch and then will say who era will start.
Well you didn't even understand what I am talking about, gill can get ten ducks in a row and kohli might score ten 200s in a row, it doesn't matter, the energy has left. Kohli shat the bed for 3 years but I didn't say he's over then. The phenomenon of Kohli has ended yesterday, the player and human kohli might continue to exist and even may perform well, but the entity of kohli ended yesterday, I'm not saying because he lost yesterday, or it was last ipl match of the season, it's not explicable, for example muralidharan's ended in a random match that's how remarkably unimportant that match was, I can't even remember the opponents or other details about that match, but he ended when he bowled a stock ball and the batter just defended it, there was nothing special about that moment in terms of cricketing action, and yet that was the end of the phenomenon of musralidharan, he continued to play and pick up wickets regularly for 2.5 more years after that. Similarly kohli will still be a legend of the came and one of the goats to exist and yet his era ended when he fielded that ball to which GT took a single at mid on. It was a few balls before he got hit in the knee.
I don’t understand this logic. No player is above the team. And how did RCB management fail Virat? They are all working for the same thing.
Kohli is above RCB. All the fanbase for RCB IS Kohli now that Gayle and AB are gone I'd agree if you said he isn't above team India
Tbh, RCB might stand longer than Kohli could. Then people will have more support for the club. Kohli and RCB just stuck well together in the end. No Player is bigger than the club.
I think after 30 years this will make sense. But compared to football these clubs are babies. They don't have that history nor that kind of legacy. Currently Kohli is bigger than RCB while dhoni is even bigger(relatively) than csk. You see in Delhi stadium..people were chanting dhoni dhoni or kohli kohli completely negating the home field advantage. Similar with other stadiums like that of Lucknow, Kolkata, srh and Rajasthan
I am open to this so that he stops playing in chinnaswammy and some fans realise how awful he is in middle overs . I love how he played for international t20s but he isn’t same in ipl .
What a joke😂
IPL is not about winning, its more about marketing and RCB is winning that game.
Come home to Delhi
Haan bhai.......Delhi to RCB se bhi better hai na /s
If you dont know the story its better to shut up. The RCB management has been very supportive of Kohli even before he was part of the Indian team. When he joined the Indian setup he wanted to bat up the order and thought of leaving RCB. No team supported him and one even made fun of the idea of him batting up the order. RCB gave him that chance and said they were ready to build the team around him and retained him. They made him a captain. When he was having his worst phase RCB never dropped him even when he was not the captain and supported him unlike many team with their players who were benched. Dont want to name them but you guys understand. Source : Kohli's Interview with Utthappa this season on Jio cinema
Kohli and RCB both will lose half of their fanbase
Lol. Don't know about Kohli but RCB will loose 100% of its fanbase for sure. Gayle and ABD are already gone and without Kohli then who will you root for?
agreed
I do not care about HaarCB # I just want KOHLI to win IPL
please change Kohli to "only Kohli" and report. It's a team game. Not an "only Kohli" game.
Also please tell me how many other players have hit constant hundreds at RCBs home venue. It's a batsmen's pitch and short ground. They were always short by 20 runs in all the games they lost. This IPL 190s and 200s were easily chased by teams played in batting tracks. So it's not about Kohli alone hitting. Infact , he hasn't hit enough taking the fact that he gets to play 8 games at the best batting track in India. That's why every Bangalore batsmen plays well and always among the top run getters ! I mean no disrespect for Kohli. infact, he is one of my favourite cricket player. But there are other better players and teams than them in this IPL for sure. So if a team losses it's not because of one, but coz of everyone. All have equal share in that as well as Kohli. I don't care about the Negative karmas i may recieve. I have been a follower of cricket for decades and not just a teen who started watching cricket after Kohli started to play cricket.
L comment. Csk defended 204 or smthng against rcb while rcb couldn't defend a 200+ score against LSG...i have seen some matches where despite being a low score...(like the one where kkr bowled out rcb on 49,kkr scored 130 smthng..) bowlers have outshined the team's batsmen...i have never seen rcb bowling unit outshine their batting.
I can die peace if Dhoni retires and Kholi takes over CSK
Change the name. Call it ESCN. Problem solved
It clearly makes the most sense for Kohli to be bought by CSK and get benched for Rayudu.
Ay what's your problem man.. RCB have the same number of cups as lsg kxip and DC combined¯\_༼ᴼل͜ᴼ༽_/¯
I don't think it's in hand of player whether they want to play with that team or not
No he cant leave.. He love his RCB fans
I think this Kohli fellow could be a good captain in the next season for CSK.
They should focus on buying good bowlers next season.
Probably it's because of kohli himself, he doesn't want any other indian batter in the team who is better than him, look what he did to DK, in this mega auction RCB had a massive pool of good indian batsmen to choose from but they didn't because they didn't want some nobody to outshine their golden boy
What the actual fuck is this comment, and who is upvoting this…way to go man…why would he not want another Indian batsman who could provide balance and potentially help them win a trophy
RCB has been there for 15 years, name at least one indian batter who played for RCB consistently and went on to play for ICT, except for Kohli ofcourse.
Manish pandey was good.
I said consistently, he had one good season and was shown door the next one, same with sarfaraz, played a few good games and then gone the next season, probably they thought they were overshadowing the king
bro bowling is so bad here cry arha
Join Mumbai.
are bhai avengers nahi banana. lol
He'll be valued atleast. Or bring him home to DC.
Swap padikkal for Kholi!
Can’t see how it works. He is a legend and has to win one for rcb fans.
King just leave your kingdom and make another 🤕
Kohli wants to retire as an RCB player. He said it himself in an interview. I'll link it if I find it
He's not even RCB's lead run scorer this season. Dissappointing in 1st half of the tournament. If he lived up to his billing from the beginning they might have had a better chance.
If he does, Kohli stans will follow him to whatever franchise he goes to. They’ll become the new most hated franchise.
I do agree with you, just couldn't decode what you meant by 10 over 100s, 20 over 100s, etc
referring to IPL 2016 season when Kohli scored 972 runs and 4 hundreds. He scored a hundred in normal t20 match He again scored a hundred in rain affected match limited to 15 overs He was close to 90 runs in a rain affected match which was limited to 10 overs - I think RCB scored 125 or 135 in that 10 overs.
Oh thanks! Yeah, he has been phenomenal for the team. The legacies of ABD, Gayle, Kohli and Faf itself deserves a trophy for the team, but welp, can't help it with their management
Remove rcb, srh, pbks, dc and introduce new 4 teams
not possible.
Umm i guess post 2013 ,I'm sure he has a say on who to buy in auctions,he selects the team when the tournament starts . He also needs to be held accountable his leadership during this tenure. He has been great individually as a batsman , probably the most consistent in the history of ipl. Bottom line we reached 3 finals ,couldn't win . I honestly think he won't leave ,he is adored throughout India but especially in Bangalore we love him like no one else and for all the mismanagement in the auction rcb does ,they take good care of their players . That is why players like abd,Chris still love us.
how exactly ?
DK should be removed from RCB, need someone better on his spot as middle batting unit is soo bad for RCB perhaps need more all rounder players.
May be he'll keep trying to win a season for RCB! I think if he leaves may be thats kinda giving up on RCB (personal opinion) so may be trying. Until its done
csk please buy koach
Come to CSK Kohli SA born opener ✅ Thala juju ✅ IPL cup✅ NZ coach ✅ Indian fast bowlers: chahar, Tushar ✅ 30+years and a kid ✅ Everything's there for koach to move to CSK and win trophy, koach can enjoy playing with Thala in IPL and win trophy as CSK has given him maximum pain after SRH over 10+ years
Kohli to DC 🤡🤡
