Former Indian captain Kapil Dev recently compared Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and also commented on Virat Kohli’s on-field behavior. Many cricket fans did not like this statement of Kapil Dev at all and they have criticized the former captain fiercely on social media.

Kapil Dev praised Rohit Sharma and also said that he is one of the best captains of the Indian team at present. However, cricket fans said on social media that he has not yet won any ICC trophy as a captain.

Kapil Dev had said in a viral video, ‘Rohit Sharma is not like Virat Kohli. He does not jump around like him. He knows his limits and those who stay patient perform the best. The best thing about Rohit Sharma is that he keeps all the players happy. There are many great players who play for themselves but this is not the case with Rohit at all.’

Here is the video of Kapil Dev:

Now, Kohli has proved his comments right by failing miserably.
You’ve bodied yourself bro.😅😅

Why can’t Indian fans be happy for the Indian team and support them!! Why these fan wars??? What’s the necessity?!

Seniors must not say things like this.. This will hurt Virat internally when he listens to all these kind of stuff from legends.

Some people like Virat jumping and aggression and some not.. its own perspective…

But I like Virat jumping and it’s aggression on the field.

I don’t agree with Kapil Dev’s assessment however one thing is for sure is that India wouldn’t have reached to 200+ score if Virat had batted and scored 92 runs (balls ??)

With all due respect sir, It seems like you can’t digest Virat as a brand and an icon
Even Vivian Richards is a fan of Virat
But It’s You his own Country’s Legend Criticising Him for Showing aggression in the field
I don’t know what the problem of our legends against Virat 😑

Paaji, if now Kohli plays a good innings then everyone will appreciate Kohli.

Please don’t compare anyone sir. Everyone plays for the team and every Indian wants to fly our Flag high.

Virat Kohli’s performance in the currently being played ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has been very poor so far. He has failed to score big for his team. At the same time, Rohit Sharma played a match-winning innings of 92 runs in 41 balls against Australia while batting brilliantly.

However, Virat Kohli will look to score big for India in the semi-final match against England. Virat Kohli’s performance in the knockouts of the T20 World Cup has always been very good and he would definitely want to leave his mark against England as well. The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be played in Barbados on 29 June.
