It looks like Kohli’s PR team, after his recent game in Perth, already sensed that today wouldn’t be any different. When he walked out to bat in Adelaide and returned without scoring, several accounts quickly rushed to defend him online.
PR Team in Action
These accounts seemed ready with their defence, expecting Kohli to score at least 20 to 50 runs. But when he got out for another duck, their plan collapsed. Still, the PR team stuck to their script and began defending him fiercely, even when the performance didn’t back it up.
Blame Game and Trolling
Soon, excuses started pouring in his so-called bad luck, reminders of his glorious past, and emotional appeals about his legacy. But none of it worked. Fans called out these efforts, and the PR accounts were heavily trolled for blaming everything except Kohli himself.
Visible Decline in Passion
Kohli’s lack of hunger for the game has become obvious. You can see it in his expressions and in how he approaches each match. That’s why Rohit, though not as fit as Kohli, managed a confident and determined 73-run innings, proving intent matters more than image.
Time to Reignite the Fire
Kohli needs to remember who he was just a few years ago the player who chased runs with unmatched passion. Once he reconnects with that mindset, fans might again witness the unstoppable run machine they’ve been missing.
