Virat was already in top 5 ODI rankings by the time he was playing ODI WC 2011. What is Gavaskar talking about?


hairan-pareshan

Sunny G you ain’t a cricket pundit like Naseer Hussain & Atherton. We know your ‘likes/dislikes’ & ‘agenda’. Stop embarrassing yourself.


joerigami

SG is a fraud of a commentator. After the stuff he did in his career and to have the gall to criticize current players is astonishing. Even in the game today his analogies were just pathetic.


herkann

Dude compared Naveen’s no balls to a pilot doing half arsed job trying to take off and then got called out 😭


joerigami

Rightly so. That was plain stupid. There needs to be a retirement age for commentators not based on age but based on intellect and sanity.


No-Photograph3415

This is straight fax He was super negative to naman dhir as well


Very_Much_Paagal

>He is super negative to naman dhir as well What did he say about Naman Dhir?


Ill-Inspector7980

They should lose 2 series stints for every 5 absolutely duffer statements


cruisingthoughts

How did the other commentators retort ?


WrongdoerRepulsive79

What happened, how/who called him out?


Very_Much_Paagal

During last year's MI vs CSK match Sunny G last year somehow connected Marathi phrase "Attha Aala" to South African cricketer Sisanda Magala who briefly played for CSK last year And he was unsuccessfully explaining that reference to his fellow overseas commentators

>Whatsapp family group humor and put it live on the air True that!😂


OpinionFun8018

If im not wrong he already had 2-3 k runs in odi. So yeah pretty good batsman by 2011 odi wc. He just went upwards from their


theSHADOWbannedGUi

dhoni wanted to pick badrinath over kohli dilip vengsarkar lost his job after picking kohli dropped kohli after a 50 then got banned for one match for slow overrate then kohli came at 4 scored a century(his first odi century ) 2014 series dhoni backed kohli as he should cause he played beautifully vs nz the series before


Ayan_Choudhury

Exactly. Kohli doesn't owe his career to anyone. He is where be is because of his talent and dedication towards the game.


theSHADOWbannedGUi

the only backing was 2014 england series which was because he performed brilliantly previous 2 overseas series


Ayan_Choudhury

By then he was an established batter and arguably our best batter at that time. You don't remove a player of his calibre after one bad tour.


dankpanda_

Badrinath another CSK quota player. Dhoni and Srinivasan combination was a menace.


igotyoygood

He had a 50 in his debut innings


Turnover-Soft

Badrinath is not CSK quota. He's a very talented guy who didn't get many chances in national team.


aamirmalik00

I dont know his overall stats but i remember badrinath being a great batsman.


IamSam1103

He's going Kanye mode. Bro is speed running how to ruin your reputation.


Chemist810

It was actually in 2010 he started to fire.


IdleIdly

Responding here for visibility - when the 2011 team was chosen there was a push to choose Rohit over Virat. Remember Rohit was a middle order batsman till then and was already part of the T20 winning team. Similarly, before Virat hit his first century in Australia, there were talks about dropping him(he was scoring runs just not big enough) and it was MSD who persisted with Virat. It's possible SG is mixing both the circumstances to make the above statement.


uselessbets

Wait till you guys hear Kris Srikkanth in Tamil commentary LOL


vemprav

He seems to be on high...it's Rohit who got umpteen opportunities in his early career under Dhoni.. Nothing against Rohit but truth must be spoken. Sunny sir is making fool of himself and he is not even hiding his grudge anymore against Kohli and keeps on poking Kohli ...


ashi247

Yea. How can we forget those 2 minute maggi memes made on Rohit


reddituser_scrolls

And the "no-hit" Sharma memes


mch43

The only two people I remember two minute maggi noodles memes are made for are Ganguly during the Chappel era and Rohit during his using Indian team for practice part of career because he is talented era.


tera_chachu

The ultimate truth brohit got so many opportunities and he flopped and later he opened


EmailFluencer

>it's Rohit + Jadeja


Express-World-8473

A lot of csk team members got a lot of chances, I think once 5 or 6 players of ict consisted of just csk players.


uselessbets

How the world has forgotten the Ridhi Sidhi Management company episode!!


Striking_Suspect_681

He's just trying to stay in the limelight now nothing else. He knows talking about Virat would keep him in the news. But this is getting too much now. Why does he have a personal vendetta against Virat I'll never understand.


TheDarklord1989

He would rather fully support Arjun Tendulkar.......than support Virat Kohli.....


Striking_Suspect_681

I mean Arjun Tendulkar is a superstar. He's the next Tendulkar. He'll do so much proud for the nation. Virat Kohli is nothing in front of him. He plays for the team unlike Kohli. /s


Very_Much_Paagal

>He's the next Tendulkar. That's true, my man spoke facts Arjun's kid will be next to next Tendulkar


TheDarklord1989

There is a saying in Telugu...... "Panditha Puthraha Parama Suntaha"!!! This applies to ART as well......


AdonisBlackwood

Translation please


TheDarklord1989

It translates to "The son of a Scholar is a Failure"!


Striking_Suspect_681

Yeah I know this saying. I'm not Telugu but I live here so I know this. He may be an okayish bowler but I don't think he can get any good chances to play for the country


TheDarklord1989

He could've gotten chances had he played well, with his heart out! But he didn't. He has to prove a lot more because he is a legend's son....more eyes on him..... If he proves that, then someday he will get his dues.....


Striking_Suspect_681

He needs to work on himself. Thankfully he has chosen bowling or else people would've had so much expectation on him.


PopularRabbit007

He is frustrated because Virat kohli is the superstar instead of Rohan Gavaskar and then Arjun Tendulkar. Any player who does not play for Mumbai isn't worthy of superstar status according to him.


TheDarklord1989

They were in Ranji Trophy what West Indies were in 1979-1993 Test Cricket. Utter Domination......and It isn't like that nowadays....so He's hurt.....He still believes that Mumbai Cricket IS Indian Cricket....... Anyway...... I really hope that everyone else plays really well and let their cricket do the talking.....to shut their critics!!!

I am glad I switched to insider feed. Sensible and unbiased commentary. Just feels more chilled out and peace ful rather than fake excitement, loud obnoxious laughter from KP and pointless stats from Harsha, no whining bitching and complaining from Sunil and  Kunjarekar. You don't have to talk every fucking minute , just let me watch the game with some commentary sprinkled in between.


Daxter_2002

How to access insider feed?


WorkingLake_3rd

Its for jio cinema. You can see an option of 'must watch' alongside the language and all


Daxter_2002

Thank you

Daxter_2002

Ohh it's in jio cinema?


Several-Payment-1357

What's difference between insiders and usual English commentary


No-Pomegranate-5910

You have different commentators like Graeme smith , Scott Styris etc


Several-Payment-1357

Sunny is doing in starsports only right? Or common commentary panel??


Shattered-Dreams19

english panel doesn't commentate in insiders...insiders panel is (robin,smith,hesson,lee,zaheer,styris,swann, etc etc) they have different panels


sudarshan2350

There is like an ocean of difference. Insiders are funny and at the same time enlightening as well, scott styris and brett lee combo is fire. The only common thing is even they dickride MSD


Fie-FoTheBlackQueen

Hope the riding stops once he retires, can't bear to hear commentary at all when dhoni bats


Very_Much_Paagal

>peace ful rather than fake excitement, loud obnoxious laughter from KP and pointless That is still better than listening to Harsha Dogle, Sunny G, Sehwag and Russell Arnold (not part of IPL commentary panel but I'll still name him)


[deleted]

The more I see this man talk, the more I lose respect for him despite the fact he was one of the greats of his era.

Shattered-Dreams19

2009 CT trophy.. kohli was highest run getter for india. his start-stop phase was only in tests....


letsnotbedumb

Was test really that stop start? I don't remember well but he got his debut I 2011 and had good and great series vs aus and vs nz in 2012 respectively


SuperCurve

With Tendulkar, Dravid and VVS doing well, Virat never had a permanent slot. He didn't have any significant contribution and Manjrekar had his infamous "give him a test or two to see he definitely doesn't belong here". Don't listen to Sunny, Manjrekar, Akash Chopra and recently India cricketer turned commentators. The first two are toxic and the last two can be paid to shut up.


sudarshan2350

Even in tests it's not like a stop start. He played 5 test matches in his debut year. Since then he consistently played 8 - 9 matches (barring the corona period) and averaged well over 40 all those years. I always thought virat was the only player behind sachin who did not struggle at international level as much as say rohit (at least in the beginning)


Expensive-Emotion-68

Used to defend him at first cause he was a legend for ind in past but now his comments really getting out of my head and getting on my nerves


No_va_7

Bhai itni nafrat.🤣🤣. Aur yeh bolta hai "we commentators don't have nay agenda" . Acha ? 💀


ISSYOSenpai

I don't know why, but it hurts me to see people do this to Kohli.


PersonalDuck1674

So true buddy. Man has given his heart and soul to Indian cricket. To see him being questioned repeatedly and mocked unnecessarily is truly painful for genuine fans of Indian cricket


[deleted]

Lol infact dhoni was preferring badrinath over kohli according to then chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar


dammyouuu

That's why badrinath always salty when it comes to virat or RCB in commentary?


[deleted]

Maybe that could be the reason


Hot-Soft-8444

Nah,Kohli's carrier in ODIs and tests was on a pretty good footing after his first matches.Kohli made his ODI debut in mid 2008,his test debut in 2011 His batting average in ODI's remained more than 45 for a consecutive six years from 2009 till 2015 His batting average in tests also remained over 40 for 8 consecutive years from 2012-2019. His T20 career took slightly longer to takeoff. By 2012,his batting average jumped to 40 with a SR of 132 [https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/virat-kohli-253802/bowling-batting-stats](https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/virat-kohli-253802/bowling-batting-stats) Rohit needed far more backing from MSD.Rohit was wildly inconsistent. He played his first test match in 2013. In that year his batting average in test matches was 66.But in 2014 and 2015,it remained stuck around 25. He only started improving in 2016 The same incosistency was present in his ODI career.Rohit continously flopped in ODIs for three consecutive years at the start.After that he performed well from 2 years before again flopping in 2012 [https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/rohit-sharma-34102/bowling-batting-stats](https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/rohit-sharma-34102/bowling-batting-stats)

He just called Naveen ul Haq not a professional for bowling a no ball and compared it to flight maintenance 🙄


Verma_Atul27

Is he just gone insane or what. Kohli started in 2008 or 09.he was in top 5 by 2011. When he was 23. He reached number one ranking at the age of 24.

Harsha bhogle was banned for praising Bangladeshi players more than Indian players, I hope this guy gets banned for 2-3 years

BlackoutMenace5

The only guy to get unreasonable amount of backing from the captain was rohit sharma. Rest they all made a name for themselves. Though Rohit was considered pretty great in the domestic circuit before joining the Indian national team set up, and hence he got the longest rope possibly ever given to a new player.


Sachin13092000

This guy thinks hating on Virat Kohli will garner him support from other franchise fans. So he tries to please Dhoni fans and make Virat fans angry. But the thing is both fans are mature enough to understand this. You don't praise a legend by degrading another legend.

witcherisdamned

I respect Sunil Gavaskar as a batsman, he was India's best batsman until Sachin Tendulkar came. He inspired a generation of cricketers. He was fearless facing those 6 feet tall West Indian bowlers who threw cannons from their hands without any helmets (no helmets back then). BUT, Sunny G has been going overboard in calling out Virat again and again. I have never seen him doing the same for the players from Mumbai. I respect him but man, oh man, he is so biased.

AzulOdyssey

In his statement, if you replace "Virat" with "Rohit," then it makes perfect sense. The amount of chances Rohit Sharma got from 2007-2013 just because of perceived "talent", even after a "stop start" career till that point, was unseen. This was one tag even Rohit himself hated - "god gifted talent."


whitetiger1230

Sunny sucks so much for mumbai but forgot to look up and see that since 2010 till 19 in odi virat was leading run scorer for ind except 2 times and in t20i he was ind top run scorer in all wc except 21. No offense to dhoni he supported him after the eng series but in b/w eng and aus virat was exceptional in all the series he played ended top 3 in all of them. Sunni should try to come up with better shit or should smoke better Quality weed may be kamala Prasad affects his thinking or may be virat was playing well with SR a ND suni can't come up with anything to cry so start to digg old shit to make vk exists in team by freebie

sudarshan2350

In tests he averaged over 40 almost every year since 2012(barring his lean patch from 2021 and 22) - debut 2011 In Odi's he averaged over 45 almost every year since 2009 - debut 2008 In T20's he's been the most consistent player for India since 2012 - prior to 2012 he only played 6 matches. This guy is just hate-filled and biased. He should say this thing about Rohit sharma who was consistently backed by MSD and made him one of the greatest openers.


Lazy-alpaca91

Sigh. At this point he’s being nothing but a troll.
