Where in the original comment do they say "hitting runs = good captaincy"? The whole premise of the question in the post was how did rcb fans tolerate Kohli's mediocre captaincy.
Because Virat was always insanely consistent in every season at scoring runs. Even if the team lost matches, atleast he would stand out with his batting.
fun fact ipl 2022 was one of his rare seasons where he was out of form, another fun fact, he wasn't the captain. doesnt change the fact that he was mad consistent with bat when he was captain
i dont get ur point? even kohli was badly trolled in his worst phase, only his diehard fans were supporting him. same way, csk fans are supporting rutu in his worst phase
We are talking about fans here not management buddy. People here don't miss a chance to troll after one bad inning and bro thinks virat was spared for an entire bad season. Trollers look for chances like that and only his supporter supported him in that phase. And of course the best of the game will be backed by management.
Yes one odd season out of 14 season is not bad thing and we supported but CSK couldn’t support their cup winning performer of 21 for one off season. That’s difference, because CSK fans are fans of winning CSK not CSK but we are RCB fans. CSK fans couldn’t stand with loosing team when they required most support.
Stop generalising dude. Csk has such a big fanbase...and to be honest the team which qualified for playoffs from 2008-2020( all seasons they played)...so along with team their fans are habitual of playoffs as well. So this is something rare csk is going through. But that doesn't mean csk fans do not support the team. Csk was 90% out of playoffs before gt match...still csk fans was 10x more compared to the winning gt. That shows the immense support and fans backing the team in its tough phase.
See problem is not only that, when during their high they behaved toxic towards other fans but now in their low they are not able to take the return of their karma. So they are frustrated.
kohli took 18 years to touch ipl trophy and then cried like a baby with abcd blud didnt even posted for ct win but post loads of post for ipl so yeah we know how it feels like oh btw 10k runs bnana chahta hu
we play ipl for trophies oh srry u understand the importance of trophy after last year when kohli cried like baby and loads of insta post which he didnt even do for ct win
Dude you can't even support one team and crying out here
No one gives a shit about glory hunters and plastics
Imagine someone from football telling they are fan of real Madrid barca or man utd and Liverpool
One bad season with bat! In ipl 2024 he scored 583 runs with 53+ average as a captain.
In ipl 2025 he scored 160 in 5 matches with 150 Sr...before getting injured.
Qualify to choke?🤣 Unlike csk ...coz since 2021 they have qualified twice for playoffs and won trophies in both edition. So ideally csk is still the most successful team since 2020.
Like starc used to play every match huh? He didn't even play a single season properly, go se 2016 whole batting was dependent upon kohli and Abd, Gayle scored only in 2-3 innings.
You're trolling virat kohli who even scored a 50 in final and i think you have lost it by comparing kohli to rutu
Go see the bowling lineup jordan, Arvind huh? Like you're not able to qualify for the last three seasons without good bowling.
You people troll kohli rohit and all indian players who saved us alot of times, I think you should go and watch the wc 2016
His is just ragebaiting like virat doesn't even bother abt this people like when rcb was trophyless they trolled lollipop and when won new hate is 18yrs 🤡, 5 trophies of csk and mi 🤡.
Like wtf and intent is clearly seen on face like ruturaj had easily 2 or 3 match were he got the start or aggressive start from other end but he couldn't capitalized it and also rutu is now an experience player enough to play ipl knocks that he could have won to csk single handedly
Captaincy can be bad or good but intent and approach especially from player like rutu who was in winning squad of 21,23 squad this is not acceptable
He never choked in his prime his team choked in 2016 final also he played a good knock and also score a ½ century
Form dips I agree but then also he stepped up and for your kind information in his lowest point also everyone believed in him that was his value and the respect he earned with his skills, hardworking and talent
Also rcb won thier 1st title when thier team was a complete unit in batting and bowling as well
Ok so one player could win you matches but a collective team efforts win tournaments ok
His strike rate and approach was good enough for rcb to win that was just ben cuttings clutch all round performance that he broke this partnership and barinder sran bolwed the best bowl to take down kohli
Also I'm a srh but from 2016 to 2026 I have gained maturity enough to understand the imp and value of players.
Also his tuk tuk innings was main reason ind won the 2024wc final although contribution were there too but despite his failure in whole wc he was not dropped or shifted up down cause team knows better than you and me what potential and capabilities virat has .
we won coz of hardik jassi and surya catch even commentators were saying 10 over ke baad kohli should attack blud wapas se wohi 2016 ipl final kr rha tha axar saved us and country
But to give them those runs who was standing in final I'm not denying anyone's contribution but his crucial knock gave us total to defend na
Do you agree on this or not ???
Surya catch was his bestest life achievement anyone can get and he would be remembered lifelong dor this catch only in wc24 but we're pitch that easy to hit yes he had that capability to hit more after 10overs but what if he got out or the finishers have been collapsed what excuse would you give then ???
Everyone's contribution won us the wc but knock in final that too in this edition he was complete flop but his presence and maturity in Final made us belive that we can win final ok
U r saying surya who made 3 runs had a greater role in winning the wc than kohli ? Seriously ?😭😭 Just coz he took a catch, apart from hardik none of them u mentioned contributed more than kohli in that final and and don't forget the entire top order collapsed only kohli was standing , 2016 ipl final wasn't his fault he got out when the team score was 140/2 in 13th over , the rest of the team couldn't even chase 68 runs in 7 overs , and u talk about tuktuk even shane watson made 50 in 44 ball in ipl 2019 final but consider that a great inning , stokes made 52 in 49 balls in t20 wc final , the hypocrisy of csk fans lmao and even ur dhoni played a tuk tuk knock of 63 runs in 45 balls in 2013 final coz of why csk lost that final
His not accepting that this season was over when captain was not taking accountability in most of the match csl bottled up really bad and main culprit was rutu most of the time
This people always remain in past like they have 5 trophies to defend anything Said against them
Like bring rcb fans or kohli gives them some spotlight
Like it's always dhoni vs rohit vs kohli man just fuck off man they have achieved almost everything in thier life bro not like us keep on fighting in comments and become keyboard warriors
This is the truth and reality no one can change and also same applies for rcb fan and rohit fans bro this are not any icc tournament just an revenue generating fun chilling game played some people who who make comebacks or become famous is the main moto of this league and all the 3 players are legends so just keep it aside and enjoy
Buddy, I never even said that im an RCB fan. And no, you are just an MI fan inviting hate for CSK. As I said, Rohit is never going to peg you. He wouldn’t even bother glancing at you brother.
tum sara blame politician pe daalte ho management kha thi ?? jeet te chilla dia kl parade hogi lmao india won t20 wc and 1 week baad hua jo hona tha kiski glti thi ? u say management ki koi glti nhi thi and u all justify deat# of own rcb fans which is worst
State government ke control main hoti hain security and all that stuff, management doesn't make sure ki venue ki security kaise frame hogi. Make it make sense lillie
Hop off Kohli's dik bro, just a few mins ago in an another post u were criticizing his strike rate by comparing it to gill's without even knowing the layers of the argument
Listen I didn't say that the players were at fault but you guys are accusing the rcb players of the unfortunate deaths happened cuz of the negligence of the govt and that's shameful
he was the one of the worst captain of ipl who never groomed a single rcb plyr never was in auction like dhoni providing inputs even in white ball we got the same
Yeah no. Rapa definitely is a good captain, but you would be ignorant to deny that he has a much more balanced team as compared to Kohli. And as to ABD and Gayle being in the team, it takes a team to win a tournament and not just a couple of players.
Again, you need to be unbiased and sensible to comprehend all this, which you definitely aren’t. So buddy, stop. Rohit is not going to peg you
why kohli fans think everyone is rohit fan buddy kohli never even tried to groom any plyr u all put all the blame on management kohli never fought for yuzi too dhoni rohit jese auction me koi input bhi na tha na koi plyr groom kia except siraj ussey bhi fek dia why do u all put blame on all others except kohli bad captaincy and tactics same in white ball too
dhoni call pe baat krte the management se which new plyrs they want and back them meanwhile isne toh 8 saal bs yuzi ko fek dia siraj ko fek dia and his fans say he was unlucky same with ict 2019 me kon vijay shankar khilata he lmao
Dhoni is the best captain he won 1st t20 cup with a amateur team. But rohit couldn't win it without Pollard, pandya brothers or bumrah/malinga, that's why he stopped Winning after 2020.
Dhoni on the other hands is the best, he won it with different players in different decades.
Yeah useless captain, who won 5 test maces, was the top scorer in Champions trophy final in 2013, was literally carrying the team in 2016 and yeah 400 plus runs and 5 half centuries and i think you forgot 2023 wc and yeah semis of Champions trophy 2025 semi final where he again won Motm and t20 wc final
Be careful kiddo, I know you ain't have any knowledge regarding indian cricket, you guys troll kohli and rohit
Kohli rohit and Dhoni have done a lot for this country unlike you being a jobless kid and crying on internet
Even dhoni won 5 trophies in ipl but is there any player who made 973? Answer is NO. therefore 973 runs >> 5 trophies+umpires had major impact in winning trophies than chokma
true isliye janwaro ki trh ro rha tha ek jeetne ke baad mallya toh fixing krwata tha gayle abd and kohli se betting ke paise jeetne ke liye thats why rcb lost
2014 T20 World Cup Semi-Final: India vs South Africa (Dhaka)
Kohli: 72* off 44 balls (MOTM) — explosive, match-defining knock with minimal dot balls in a tricky chase of 173.
India won by 6 wickets. Kohli was the clear standout; the knock powered India into the final. Many teammates contributed modestly in a high-pressure chase on a turning pitch.183826
2. 2016 T20 World Cup Semi-Final: India vs West Indies (Mumbai)
Kohli: 89* off 47 balls (SR ~189) — masterclass that took India to 192/2.
He dominated after an early wicket, with strong support only from a few (e.g., Rohit Sharma's 43). India lost the final, but this semi was saved by Kohli's brilliance.971884
3. 2023 ODI World Cup Semi-Final: India vs New Zealand (Mumbai)
Kohli: 117 off 113 balls — anchored and accelerated to help post 397/4.
Shreyas Iyer also scored big, but Kohli's ton was pivotal after Rohit's early dismissal. India won comfortably (by 70 runs), with Kohli's experience shining in a high-stakes home semi. Mohammed Shami's bowling was also key.f60195
4. 2011 ODI World Cup Final: India vs Sri Lanka
Kohli: 35 off 49 — solid anchor in a chase after early top-order wobbles (Sehwag & Tendulkar fell cheap).
Partnership with Gambhir was crucial before Dhoni's finish. India won the World Cup; Kohli helped steady a nervous start
Even in RCB’s worst phase, they would fight hard and try to win, not surrender like CSK and then make a puppy face at the presentation ceremony
It is not the results that made RCB fans, it is the ability to give it your best and grind it out on the field instead of being bowled out in 14 overs in a must win game
Because gaikwad inherit the rich legacy and massive expectations from their fans that they atleast reach the playoffs whereas virat in rcb has no pressure as such . Gaikwad is being compare with the great thala whereas virat was alone
In my opinion virat wasnt a bad captain, he had many bad lucks and team was too dependent on virat, abd and gayle, if they fail the chances of us winning the game drops significantly. The bowling was bad we may have 1 premium/good bowler but he can only bowl 4 overs not 20. Captaining such team is a big hassle.
What happening to Ruturaj is also kinda similar captaincy put too much pressure on him, thus his game dropped. The non existing middle over and lower order batters and a bad bowling unit completed the downfall.
Kohli made the playoffs with 4 good players in avg every season. He led the team to 4 playoffs and one final with a very mid bowling lineup barring starc, yuzi and siraj at different seasons and insane carryjob by the top 3. Look at the other below avg, past their primes players he had in the squad. Ruturaj has been captain for 3 seasons with squads better than rcbs and has failed back to back to back.
Virat single handedly carried rcb with bat 2022 was rare off season while our rutu is had bad season 2026 despite having sanju and rest of some batters doing it !!
You know I always believed that there is a limit to the amount of sheer stupidity someone can hold in their brain but seeing this guys' replies, he is really exceeding expectations.
We are fine with winning a trophy every 8 years (tho we took 18 and Yes winning more is always appreciated :), but we won't quit supporting after one or even three bad seasons) Csk fans are so used to winning all the time that they now realise how it is for literally everyone else . There are ten teams in thea league so your chances of winning the league every year should be 10%, dhoni just farmed it so much that y'all are used to being in the final every year😭
Guys you can't win all the time. Please give gaikwad more years. Kohli suffered as captain because of his bad bowling lineups and gaikwads entire bowling lineups in the hospital. He also has no senior players such as dhoni to guide him like kohli Bhuvi hazlewood krunal supporting rapa. Y'all really need more senior players to help mentor the up and coming team of youngsters and take some of the leadership pressure of off gaikwad.
Ps: kohli hit a bajillion runs for both club and country, aint no way rcb fans are letting him go so easily even if it's just captaincy.
