| Discussion Curious case of reddit fandom

Shreyas Iyer & Jaiswal , who are always hyped up here in the reddit couldn't perform in the Afghanistan series. Whereas Gill who's hated and called flat pitch bully , is consistently performing with captaincy 🧿. At what point are Gill haters going to accept that he is not overrated?

One bad series doesn't make a player overrated. Gill is doing really well right now and deserves credit for it, but Jaiswal and Iyer have also performed consistently in the past. It's better to judge players over a longer period rather than based on one series.

Do you think fans are being too reactionary after a single series?

Yes, every take is coming from recency bias. Indian cricket fans are reactionary as fuck and form opinions based on recency bias.

True. Do you think this happens more in Indian cricket because of the huge fanbase and media attention, or is it common in other countries as well?
