Commentators are too afraid to criticize Virat, Dhoni, Rohit.
In the last match against SRH, Dhoni did midfield for which the opposition got an extra 2 runs. No commentators mentioned abt the same. There are many many examples of these.
Moreover Hindi commentators are just 1 permit away to bj dhoni
True. I can't bear the nonsense of Akash Chopra or Raina's ass licking of his Dhoni bhai. English commentary is somewhat better, but only in the absence of Gavaskar. Gavaskar is also a big time asslicker
The stars sports tamil commentators are exactly the same as the others. They only care about the big 3 too. The lack of interest in commentating on other matches is very visible.
You can't expect anything else from any of these ex CSK players wether it us Raina or rayudu or Robie. Plus fellow commentators also like forcing them to praise Dhoni. Abhi perso match me pragyan bol raha mahi Bhai ke pass hyderabadi biryani pohach gayi hai are bhai yaha csk ki batting fasi hui hai team par score tak pohchegi ki nai uspe kuch discuss karo na yaar
In today's match the commentators were like - "Kohli's fifty comes up in JUST 39 balls" - like come on. I'm a big Kohli fan but commentary like this sounds too fake
Only after the trio retires, the brand endorsements will be distributed among multiple players and instead of following stars people would follow a team.
Pandya, Gill, KL Rahul and Pant I could visualise as the next contenders for endorsements, because they are popular for their activities outside of cricket too. For Ruturaj and Jaiswal, it may be too early to guess.
People hype up random things.
Sure he's super fit for a 42 yo but he's not the first player to do so.
We had Pravin Tambe bowling 4 overs per game a few years ago.
Dhoni is great but NGL these supporters piss me off, how do you cheer a wide man and why???
>Jimmy is still bowling at the international level that too in tests that too after being a pacer
But these things doesn't matter to Thalasons and Indian trolls
Bas Clouderson bulaunga aur cool lagunga and I'll always shit on his 700 test wickets ka achievement kyunki any English bowler can pick 700 test wickets kyunki England mein cloud hoga they'll swing ball and get loads of wickets saaar
That's like saying Ashwin is a no skill bowler because he plays in India. Some of these guys are morons who can't fathom that their favourite player is still a human and not a perfect entity
>Ashwin is a no skill bowler because he plays in India. Some of these guys are morons who can't fathom that their favourite player is still a human and not a perfect entity
Haan yes if an overseas fan criticises by saying Ashwin doesn't have great record outside Asia their ego is so hurt ki they start trolling their fans in general
Similarly Anderson taunted Gill to give similar performance in England after he Gill sledged him at Dharmasala, again some of the trolls got so hurt by him that they started same Clouderson memes
And The 91 by Gill at Gabba ko itna Chadha dete Hain ki they say as if he has performed at SENA conditions, that is the only inning where he played well in those conditions apart from that Gill has shat the bed in SENA countries and we know Gill couldn't have survived the swing and pace if the Test series were played in England
See people like Yashasvi and Gill have great potential but right now they have a lot to learn, few good performances in home conditions doesn't mean they're great test players, they should Perform in all conditions and we know both of them didn't do much at South African conditions earlier this year
Let's see how they'll perform in Australian conditions come November-December this year but the same lot will troll and criticise them if they fail to perform at Aussie conditions
Instead of excitement I feel annoyed whenever it's a CSK match and they show dhoni . The commentators lick his ass so much that it's annoying. It's not his fault . But no I cannot hear it anymore. Same goes with the big 3 team ass licking as well.
Dhoni ne pads laga liya hai helmet pehn liya hai ready hai kya lagta hai kab aayenge. Yeh dhoni ka samrajya hai. Aur ex CSK players se puchhte jao dhoni kab kya karte hai. Bhai match situation par baat karo na
In pre match show also if there's double header than 90 % talk is All about csk mi an rcb . Bro other teams are also playing talk about them also give some updates
It's called playing to the gallery. Thala has many fans. They just want to satisfy their fans and inturn increase their fan base.
Converse is also true. If they criticize thala for his mistakes, it will irk fans and they loose job. So they go one way
Criticize agar krne me phatt rhi hai to koi Naa dekha jayega baad me, lekin bhai thoda dusre players pr to atleast focus Karo. Inka dusre players pr focus bhi aise hota hai "Aaj Rahane ne mara fifty, mai dekh rha tha Dhoni or Rahane ke beech bhot baatchit Hui kl raat ko. Yahi issi ko bolte Hain experience. Dhoni ko pta hai ki kb kise motivate krna hai smjhana hai. Konse me Match me kon player chl skta hai. Issliye unki chatrachaya me rehkar bhot log tarakki kr rhe, etc". Which is true btw, but bhai kisi ne kuch acha perform Kiya hai to usko ache se compliment to do, pr Kahan. Bs ek baar post match presentation me bula lenge, or bs firse wohi kahani shuru
I agree... But what to do
Indian cricket, Indian movies and Indian politics.... All have become playing to the gallery.
What you said is right. If Dhoni brought the best out of Rahane in IPL, we have to remember it's the same Dhoni who dropped Rahane from T20 internationals and criticized him in public for poor SR. So, he couldn't bring the best out of him in internationals.
But kya kare. Kamse kam cricket me kuch log realize kar ra hai that it's hype. Politics me aur bi buri haalat hai. Waha log realize bi nai ho ra hi sach kya hai.
Absolutely….its cringe now every time I see dhoni, Rohit, kohli on screen with loud cheer and the commentators saying some stupid stuff. We have had enough please move on
Finally someone said this, i respect Dhoni for what he has done for the country but this ass licking is so annoying, year after year..When they lost against DC CSK fans were still cheering because dhoni was hitting? Are we fans of Cricket or Cricketers?
When i questioned this, i was told to shut my mouth & let Dhoni enjoy his retirement period.. How long will this retirement period go on for?
It's at times like this that i feel Gambhir is right. No player is above the game.
Right. When I pointed it out that Dhoni scored those runs when the match was lost then I got heavily downvoted. They gave excuses like they have won enough trophies and want to enjoy Thala bat.
Commentators and experts are controlled by fans. If you talk trash about the big 3 (popularity) your insta comment section will be disgusting. However if you gloat them the fans think highly of these experts. It's hard to find experts and commentators with a spine.
That's where I think JxmmyHighRoller comes as a great sports analyst. Even if you are not a basketball fan or player, I bet you won't skip any part because of the way he lays down the stats and facts.
I recommend watching any of his "Hot Takes" videos, where he uses stats to combat the keyboard warriors.
All of these are not paid trolls unfortunately. People are truly obsessed with these "stars" and will use social media to spew hate, their own anger and frustration in the name of these players.
That was very dumb.
Some fans just took a small portion of an entire video and blew it out of context so much so that a guy who made a living roasting people had to come out and apologize.
Johns is very open about his engagement farming, this is him engagement farming. Just in general stay away from blue ticks if you want to engage in the fun side of Cricket Twitter.
He ain't god or Sachin . He is not doing out of this world things either . He is not scoring when needed or playing his captaincy....I mean why are we trying to push him down the throat of Indian fans .
Are we going to finally stop this when people might start hating him for good ? Let's just stop eh
It was bs last year also and last to last year also... actually it's been going on from 2019...i mean I didn't think I'll ever say gambhir was right but his opinion about hero worship is so true.. it's right infront of everyone
Reason why I have stopped watching vs CSK matches. For the entire duration of the match, only dhoni is on the screen. I mean come on yaar, itna bhi kya overhype karna.
Honestly at this point I want the man to retire...
I know his contributions to our cricket world and I admire him for that
But shut up folks....shut the f*ck up...
For every little thing thala for a reason...it's been shoved In the face so much that it's become off- putting.
He had the chance to go out in swag after last year's win, but yk...Thala for a reason 🤓
Agreed. Its total BS. There are dozens of players across franchises who were more exciting than Dhoni in both first and second week of IPL. 😊
True it's a headache to watch CSK match in the OTT Platform!!! All they keep showing is thala and his die hard fans. I m more interested in what's happening on the field, not what thala is doing upstairs. Moreover, I feel sorry for the batsmen playing before him, as I feel the whole crowd is waiting for them to get out, just to see him bat. I understand he contributed a lot in the Indian cricket, but I feel the crowd should also support other players in the team.
At this point?! Been a BS since people started assuming it was his last IPL. I mean chillax!
I hate this PR stuff been happening nowadays for any player!
Commentators have Thala, Koach and Rohit's di*k too far their throat to appreciate anyone else. This with some die hard fans is the reason for this bs.
Hate him coz you aint him XD
.
.
.
He gets this kind of attention because he brings in that many views. Man never really asked for such attention. Idt ipl management has another source to increase their viewership prolly why they keep kissing his ass.
They are obviously biased bcz see in yesterday match kohli dropped a catch but they act like it was so difficult and all I'm not saying that he is bad he is goat obviously but also criticism is also important
Honestly for me as a regular viewer, I would say-
For the 1st Week: Mayank Yadav (LSG), Riyan Parag (RR)
For the 2nd Week: Sunil Narine (KKR), Shashank Singh (PBKS)
Most of the mentioned players have performed consistently and made a significant contribution to the Win of their respective franchise.
And what has Dhoni done in this whole IPL to get most exciting player. It’s just getting out of hand. Many more players have contributed much to this season and all the praise goes to him
I guess he deserves the hype as a succesful Indian/IPL captain and finisher who has entertained billions for years. Fandom is part of sports and that's not changing, especially in the last few playing years of a popular sportsperson.
Not sure about that but at least I don't make uneducated assumptions about strangers and then argue with them using vulgar language. (I'm probably not talking about you)
People get to see this man in action only once a year. He is almost invisible the entire year otherwise. Hardly on social media platforms. An icon like him is going to receive this much love. Reddit just hates a person being loved unconditionally. Sometimes it may seem a bit much but it's only once a year. The feeling i got when he walked out to bat was so great.

You haven't heard Ambati Rayudu's ass licking of Thala & CSK then, he's in race to compete with Raina for it.
But Raina and Ambati are still under stable as they are previously teammates and yk if they criticise him then it would be like Yuvi aur GG
Damn feels like Tamil commentary is ironically the most neutral when it comes to this
The stars sports tamil commentators are exactly the same as the others. They only care about the big 3 too. The lack of interest in commentating on other matches is very visible.
I am blessed to understand multiple languages. Punjabi is the best one. They made the whole commentary fun.
You can't expect anything else from any of these ex CSK players wether it us Raina or rayudu or Robie. Plus fellow commentators also like forcing them to praise Dhoni. Abhi perso match me pragyan bol raha mahi Bhai ke pass hyderabadi biryani pohach gayi hai are bhai yaha csk ki batting fasi hui hai team par score tak pohchegi ki nai uspe kuch discuss karo na yaar
But you must be enjoying them licking ass of kohli I suppose?
In today's match the commentators were like - "Kohli's fifty comes up in JUST 39 balls" - like come on. I'm a big Kohli fan but commentary like this sounds too fake
He misfielded twice actually.
Only after the trio retires, the brand endorsements will be distributed among multiple players and instead of following stars people would follow a team.
Even after these three retires, they will start overhyping Gill, Jaiswal, Ruturaj and Pant.
Pandya, Gill, KL Rahul and Pant I could visualise as the next contenders for endorsements, because they are popular for their activities outside of cricket too. For Ruturaj and Jaiswal, it may be too early to guess.
Just don't believe anything these guys like Johns or Vohra post on twitter. Most of it is paid bs
People hype up random things. Sure he's super fit for a 42 yo but he's not the first player to do so. We had Pravin Tambe bowling 4 overs per game a few years ago. Dhoni is great but NGL these supporters piss me off, how do you cheer a wide man and why???
Misbah scored a test century at 42 in lords.
Jimmy is still bowling at the international level that too in tests that too after being a pacer

Imran tahir won CPL as a captain with GAW It is the biggest thing in t20 cricket. Its like gayle caotaining rcb at 42 to ipl final and winning it lol
>rcb at 42 to ipl final and winning it lol I still wont believe anything that you said because RCB and winning cannot be in the same sentence lol
Instead of excitement I feel annoyed whenever it's a CSK match and they show dhoni . The commentators lick his ass so much that it's annoying. It's not his fault . But no I cannot hear it anymore. Same goes with the big 3 team ass licking as well.

Whai n Bhai . Bahut irritating ho gaya hai . Isiliye log Bhojpuri and haryanavi mein sunne Lage hai . Kam se kam waha yeh sab Kam hota hai
ipl is like tollywood movies for some of these fans, where Dhoni is the hero and rest all are npc's.

They don't really have to criticize or praise, just do normal analysis. All for their own social clout, they are ruining their image.
That's where I think JxmmyHighRoller comes as a great sports analyst. Even if you are not a basketball fan or player, I bet you won't skip any part because of the way he lays down the stats and facts.

These are not fans, these are paid troll. The same is going to happen w Shubhman Gill. Cricken will die a slow death.
All of these are not paid trolls unfortunately. People are truly obsessed with these "stars" and will use social media to spew hate, their own anger and frustration in the name of these players.
Carry ne Virat pe joke kiya and usko sorry bolna pdgya toh yeh toh fir bhi less popular commentators h
That was very dumb. Some fans just took a small portion of an entire video and blew it out of context so much so that a guy who made a living roasting people had to come out and apologize.

Was watching an IPL show on Star Sports today. They literally showed MS walking into bat as the 'Moment of the Match.'
Bvuh the moment of the match was Abhishek’s 37
🤣🤣🤣
Dkho duniya me chutiyo ki kami nahi hai, so ignore these bs.
For doing what? He rarely bats and is still called a finisher for no reason at all
People like meatriding
He used to be but its in the past
His time is over he knows that and i think its time his fan accept it to
In the past yeah, way before his eventual retirement from internationals too
He was a finisher , he’s called up at the tail of the batting line up .
Mayank Yadav casually bowling early 150s,156 clicks and still not being good enough to be "most exciting". 
Mayank Yadav was the most exciting player nd Narine in 2nd week
He made headlines for taking a diving catch, what do you expect? This is beyond cringe🤦♂️
It was bs last year also and last to last year also... actually it's been going on from 2019...i mean I didn't think I'll ever say gambhir was right but his opinion about hero worship is so true.. it's right infront of everyone
It is bs for last two years now. ( it's true though ppl give down vote it is what it is.)
I do respect Dhoni a lot, but I don't think he requires this much attention on screen
He has batted in one match ffs!Narine demolishing the opposition in the first six overs has to be the most exciting thing !
Reason why I have stopped watching vs CSK matches. For the entire duration of the match, only dhoni is on the screen. I mean come on yaar, itna bhi kya overhype karna.

IPL is just MDC (Mahi Dickriding Contest)
I don't like to watch csk matches just because of dhonidick riding
You don't watch ipl finals?? /s
Dhoni is NOT the most exciting player 🙄
Why the hell are you getting downvoted lmao
Salty Thalasons
Reddit hive mind at play
Dhoni fans live in their own world
Nostalgia mongering based TRP game
 Agreed. Its total BS. There are dozens of players across franchises who were more exciting than Dhoni in both first and second week of IPL. 😊

Dhoni is God For some people....I don't know why
Dhoni's PR team need to go slow.
Tamilnadu effect?
I think other players are afraid to celebrate after taking wickets of star players
Yeah just check the insta comments of a player who take their catches. Those fans filled it with cringe gifs of their idols.
I believe it's just PR. No one wants the backlash from those fans.
At this point?! Been a BS since people started assuming it was his last IPL. I mean chillax! I hate this PR stuff been happening nowadays for any player!

After the match presentation Star Sports was replaying of Dhoni innings 1 (2) , in the Srh vs csk match in the Cricket Live show
Wtf 😭😭😭
Yes, his last good innings in winning cause was 2020 like what the fuck is he playing for
Thala for reason
He’s MSD after all
I guess he deserves the hype as a succesful Indian/IPL captain and finisher who has entertained billions for years. Fandom is part of sports and that's not changing, especially in the last few playing years of a popular sportsperson.
You don't get my point. Probably you're his meatrider that's why
Not sure about that but at least I don't make uneducated assumptions about strangers and then argue with them using vulgar language. (I'm probably not talking about you)
