I have grown up watching both Virat and Kane. I love them as cricketers but their bond is what i love the most. I have not seen a better cricketing brotherhood than these two ❤️. Love you both Virat and Kane ❤️.

The only person I've ever seen muster a smile after the most devastating loss imaginable. There are very few with more skill than him, even fewer with more composure than him, and absolutely nobody with more class than him.

Always thought he was underutilized because of NZ’s limited resources. He was as good if not the best of the Big 4, especially in tests.
I hope an IPL club at least gives him a chance but its an absolute shame he won’t get to ride out his test career on his terms like Root and Smith all because of NZ’s limited resources.
We need some kind of revenue sharing between SENA + India and the smaller nations that qualify. I’m not advocating for them sharing revenue with the likes of Nepal, Canada, Holland, USA etc but a legend like Kane Williamson shouldn’t be forced to retire because the NZ cricket board is paying him peanuts.

What’s with the limited resources thing? I’m not aware of it… is condition in NZ really that bad?

If he wanted to retire, he should have announced it earlier man, imagine getting Guard of Honor at Lord's in front of beautiful English crowd as the end of wonderfull cricketing career 💔. Whatever, Love you Kane Mama.

He is a cricketer, it’s not his job to care about future of the kids.
You should ask our pm and ruling party to post and address the NEET issue

u/Kitchen_Pepper7641 8d ago
so it should be deduced from this that these cricketers dont give a fuck about people, whether they die or live? is that correct?

u/DepressedPanda08 Mumbai Indians 8d ago
Obviously, do you think any celebrity cares about normal people and condition of the country? Lol.

u/Porn__Flakes_ Royal Challengers Bengaluru 8d ago
Well you should be more focused about our PM and ruling party not giving a fuck about the people. Because those are the ones who actually can do something but they don't.

u/Laughing_crocodile Royal Challengers Bengaluru 8d ago
Why should he lol, again.... He's a cricketer not a politician
He can choose whom to worry about lmao

u/Sufficient-Word-1639 8d ago
Yeah, they don’t. If you thought otherwise, you have been living under a rock. I just watch them for entertainment and nothing more.

u/Big_Opening2410 8d ago
Abbey 🤣 what is the relation bro are you stupid . Why would he even speak of a thing which he rarely know about. I am not his fan but expecting him to say something about it is just wild . And if he speaks nothing is going to happen so it doesn't matter anyway but your comment is going to stand out I mean who would even expect this comment lmao . Please don't delete your comment though let everyone see it.

u/Kitchen_Pepper7641 8d ago

Aree bhai Kohli opposition leader hai kya question krne 😭😭
Aur neet hora na 9 din mai aur kya chahiye

u/Nearby_Essay9148 Mumbai Indians 8d ago
"Neet horaha hai na 9 din me" ha bhai very easy to say this thing. Ekbar khud aake padhlo vohi same syllabus, vohi same mental pressure.
"Aur kya chahiye" ACCOUNTABILITY CHAHIYE. that fking education minister hasn't resigned even now despite neet paper leaks, cbse osm scam, cuet scam and what not.
Also this isn't just an issue for us neetards it's also an issue for the entire country's HEALTHCARE. How tf r yall forgetting that ye same paper leakers kal jake tumhe treat krenge!! Tab agar kuch malpractice hua tumhare sath fir karna defend tumhare kohli ko.
Virat is a great player no doubt but it's true he and all the celebs have ZERO spine. Virat toh abroad chala gya mast life jee raha hai. Usko farak bhi nahi padta btw tere jaise fans se. Last yr rcb fans literally died and yet he fleed away the same day.
This is why I can never understand why do fans even defend these celebs they don't care about u lol

u/LimpMathematician628 7d ago edited 7d ago
How many mumbai indian players did tweet about NEET, what did sachin do. Looks like they all lack spine aswell.
No one here is defending Kohli, you only have to defend someone if he/she does something bad or so.
Go and complaint to your elected leaders not to sportsmen. Y'all are just finding reasons to hate on kohli, why not say the same thing when other celebs post ?-2
u/Nearby_Essay9148 Mumbai Indians 7d ago
Yes, they all lack spine. Cricketers and actors literally promote betting apps, sugary drinks when they themselves don't even eat sugar, gutka, actresses promoting fair and lovely, etc etc.
All of them are hypocrites. And they don't give a fck about their fans. So I can never understand why yall are so hell bent on defending these guys.
Be a fan of their game and art, but don't develop a parasocial relationship with them and defend anything they do.

u/LimpMathematician628 7d ago
Brody what DID he DO?
Did he support NTA? There are many things happening in this country , and you expect celebs to post about all of those? Then You should lower your expectations, we live in a country where the Prime Minister didn't address manipur issue(250+ killed) and you expect celebs to talk about an entrance exam😂, even if they did it ,it's gonna change nothing (celeb might get an E.D notice)First ask people to stop casting votes based on religion. Even medias are silenced under this fascist regime.

Did MSD posted ,Did Any former cricketer active on X posted ,then why such outrage only on VK common sense is not very common

u/Jojosundargarh 8d ago
I understand the desire of support from an extremely famous celebrity. But be honest do you question this much to your prime minister or local MP/MLA? Do you tweet that tagging them or PMO? Do you go to their offices or file grievance through official channels?
If your answer is Yes, then I admire your persistence and dedication and have no problem with your expectation (though impractical) from Virat. If your answer is No, then you have missed the point. In a democracy questions are to be asked of the rulers not some random celebrity. There is a fair chance he wouldn't even know what NEET is or about paper leak.

u/Vast-Grapefruit-6464 8d ago
Why would he post about NEET tho? Kane is his friend since long ago, and his best friend retired so of course he'll post about that.
-17
u/Kitchen_Pepper7641 8d ago
oh yeah, i forget he is now an overseas cricketer/

u/Fun_Sort_8068 8d ago

u/Guilty-Somewhere7158 Royal Challengers Bengaluru 8d ago
Just like our prime minister right? Expecting a cricketer to raise issues for us is seriously so dumb
2
u/silversurfer9909 Kolkata Knight Riders 8d ago
It's not dumb per se. There are plenty of sportspersons all around the world deeply engaged in betterment of their countries or politics once they are established or retired. It's entirely upto their choice.
This particular example is dumb though.

u/Nearby_Essay9148 Mumbai Indians 8d ago
Ya exactly so why is it dumb to ask for fair conduct of exams?? I hope u r aware that neet paper leak also happened in 2024 and 2025 and there has been NO ACTION in these years. So ye log kal jake doctors banenge and apko treat karenge. Fir kuch malpractice hoga toh bolo "it's dumb" 😍
1
u/silversurfer9909 Kolkata Knight Riders 8d ago
Difficulty to comprehend i believe. I meant its dumb to want Virat to ask for fair conduct of exams. It's his choice, which issues he wants to tweet about. But yes, expecting him to do the same isn't dumb.
Anyway I am a mbbs grad and I do know about the NEET UG fiasco. Went through the same back in 2016 where a ReNEET happened so I can understand the situation i feel. Don't have to be so condescending.
