Only controversies can keep Virat Kohli alive and kicking. At least Virat Kohli thinks so!

Abhishek Kumar Singh by Abhishek Kumar Singh

Virat Kohli, Kohli, cricket

When you are representing more than 1.3 billion people in another continent, there is certain code of conduct you need to adhere to. Indian captain Virat Kohli does not think so. His on-field behaviour indicates more towards him being a controversy savvy captain.

Kohli’s emotions beat him

India and South Africa just ended a high-voltage Test series, consisting of 3 matches. The series went down to haywire, resulting in a cutthroat competition for both teams. You could not decide winner of series up until the last session. Emotions are bound to go wayward.

While South African Captain Dean Elgar remained a calm head in pressuring situations, Virat Kohli caved in. In 21st over of final innings of series, Kohli’s outburst shocked the cricketing world.

On Ashwin’s good-length delivery, Dean Elgar was adjudged LBW out by Umpire. Elgar challenged the decision. Hawk-eye showed that ball was not touching wickets; in fact, the ball would have bounced out the wicket if Elgar’s leg had not hit it. Hawk-eye is most trusted technology to track the trajectory of ball.

Kohli burst onto official broadcaster

It left everyone stunned on the field. Even Umpire Marais Erasmus was surprised and said “that’s impossible.” However, Kohli sensed malfeasance in the replay. He went to the stump mic and said, “Focus on your team as well when they shine the ball.. and not just the opposition, trying to catch people all the time,”. Similar remarks were made by K L Rahul and Ravichandran Ashwin as well.

Apparently, it was Kohli’s dig at SuperSport, the official broadcaster. In his statement, Kohli seemed to allege that South African team was shining the ball in some unacceptable manners. He also seemed to refer to Broadcasting team catching Australian players using illegal means to shine the ball in 2018.

Few overs later, India decided to review a not out decision in favor of Elgar. After signaling for review, Kohli did not miss a chance to take jibe at Broadcasters. He said, “Wonder how they’re going to show that.”

Captain under radar

As it always happens, Kohli gave the South African team a chance to criticize him and the Indian team. Lungi Ngidi, South African pacer commented, “Reactions like that show a bit of frustration and sometimes teams capitalise on that. You never want to show so much emotion, but we could see emotions were high. That tells us they are feeling a little bit of pressure.”

Test cricket is considered to be utmost form of the game. You never know, whether the batsman will get dismissed on next ball or he will go to tire your bowlers for 180 over. It’s uncertainty at its best. It’s understandable to get frustrated.

Not a dignified behaviour by Captain

Virat Kohli may be right in his assertion and allegation; that was not a way for Indian captain to react. He is representative of India’s youth in other countries. No matter how stressful situation is, cool and composed behavior pays you better results. MS Dhoni has showed it time and again.

Similar frustrating things had happened to Mitchell Jhonson in 2010; when English fans sledged him to depression. Jhonson came back roaring in 2013 Ashes and thrashed England 5-0 on his own.

Competence will take Kohli forward, while controversies will erase his records

What Kohli did was reminiscent of someone trying to stoke emotions when things are not going his way. There are many ways for a publicly known person to draw attention towards him/her. Competency, cool and composed behavior (Dhoni) and controversies are few of them. Often internationally incompetent cricketers (by statistics) like Andre Nel, S. Sreesanth resorted to controversies to stay relevant in public.

Certainly, Virat Kohli is not incompetent by any historical standards. He is in fact on top of most batting records. His poor form may be the reason for his frustration, but it would have been better if Kohli would answer it with bat. Poor behavior raises questions on ability and Kohli should understand that.

    VK is an overrated Captain. For all the ‘stupendous success’ abroad, under Kohli, India never won a Test series in England, New Zealand and South Africa besides losing the WTC final. Thanks to this whimsical and sometimes rigid policies India’s batsman with the highest Test average and only the 2nd to score a triple ton was never properly accommodated. The truth is that the duo of Kohli-Shastri ran Indian cricket like a fiefdom under the benign watch of the COA. The writing was always on the wall when India collapsed for 36 in Australia. What followed in T20 WC and South Africa was hardly surprising. Unfortunately ‘experts’ continued to live in cloud cuckoo land expecting famous victories when even to the most casual observer it was obvious that this team was just not good enough.

    This is the 3rd or 4th article from this author on Virat Kohli. Are you doing PHD on Kohli? These articles have really no impact on him and why should they even bother him?

    Kohli has been the same throughout his under 19 cricket days. He hasn’t changed 1 bit. It’s he who has tasted success with his brand of cricket in SENA countries. He’s created this culture of giving it back with interest. Who are we to all of a sudden start giving him advices? Who else but Kohli knows what he has to do with the bat and be will do it. But don’t behave as if Kohli is in his retirement days or has been a burden to Indian cricket all his life.

    I haven’t been a big fan of his captaincy and team selections myself. But I certainly rate him much much higher than the rest in India. His record speaks for himself. Runs with the bat have somewhat dried down, he seems to have lost some focus, run out of luck or maybe too much engrossed in captainship moves.

    His best is just around the corner and it will shut everyone’s mouth forever. Having left captaincy voluntarily his place is no longer secured in the team. And it will make him work harder.
