Amit Mishra on Virat Kohli (X.com)
Former India cricketer Amit Mishra has come under scrutiny for his recent remarks on several renowned cricketers, including Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Shubman Gill. While talking on a popular podcast, Mishra uttered some wildly harsh remarks and bold claims about these cricketers' lives.
Mishra's comments about Virat Kohli, a cricketer widely regarded as one of the most humble in the country, were particularly shocking. He claimed that Kohli's ego had grown with his fame, a stark contrast to the public's perception. Mishra also revisited the infamous 'Kohli-Gambhir' fight during IPL 2023, suggesting that it was Gambhir who took the initiative to resolve the conflict.
Mishra's predictions for KL Rahul and his IPL team, Lucknow SuperGiants, were particularly bleak. He suggested that Rahul lacked the right mentality to lead a franchise and that the team's management would likely remove him from his post after a disappointing three-year run.
His bad-mouthing did not stop there. He then talked about Shubman Gill, saying that he doesn't know how to be a captain and lacks the adequate knowledge and skill for it.
Ever since his interview went live, netizens on Twitter (X) were quick to clap back by sharing memes and old videos of Amit Mishra, in which he is seen making blunders on the cricket field. Interestingly, fans were not quick to forget that he made his Test comeback under Virat Kohli, and they shared posts about that, too.
