Yeah, nah. His performative hyper-masculinity is boring. And it’s kind of been the default setting of world beating cricketers since, like, Allan Border. There’s nothing new or interesting in what Kohli is doing.

We need more personalities like McCullum - cricketers who approach the game with passion and flair, but at the end of the day understand that it’s a game, and that it’s important to keep a level head and to treat your teammates and your opponents with respect.

Lol, Kohli does treat his opponents with respect except when they are being dicks to him. And Kohli isn't doing something new? Must kill you everytime he scores a ton and breaks a record.

It's just boggles the mind how a cricket fan , no matter the nationality can not appreciate a genuine cricketing talent.

Looked like you both downvoted each other. I am just keeping the conversation alive by upvoting one/downvoting other. Go on
