Didn't tweet after winning a trophy after 11 frickin' years, but tweeted right away after his mate announced his retirement.
I’ve played with you for 14 years and when you told me today you’re retiring, it made me a bit emotional and the flashbacks of all those years playing together came to me. I’ve enjoyed every bit of the journey with you ash, your skill and match winning contributions to Indian

India vs England, 3rd T20, 2021.Kohli - 77 (46) at 167.4 SR.Rest of the batters - 70 (74) at 94.6 SR. One of his most underrated knocks in T20Is. Thrived when everyone else struggled. They call him the "crisis man" for a reason.

"Kohli ruined Rohit Sharma's test career".No, he actually shielded him. Had Kohli made him open on overseas tours in 2018 instead of flat tracks at home in 2019, he wouldn't have whatever test career he has now.

His ODI knock catalogue is insane man. This was a high quality knock on a pitch that got more difficult to bat on as the game progressed. No one else from our batting line up even crossed 40. And it still probably doesn't make it into his Top 10 ODI knocks. Crazy standards.

We had more batting depth today than we had in the entire WC and yet failed to chase 230 without Kohli playing throughout the inning against Lankans all of teams. But I'm supposed to believe we won 270-280 chases vs top teams in WC due to quick starts in powerplay.

Too much revisionism for my liking. That aggression has won us countless games for more than 1.5 decades. POTM awards in winning cause.Kohli - 63.Sachin - 61. 100s in winning cause.Kohli - 57.Sachin - 53.
Aggression tabhi achcha lagta hai jab team jeet rahi ho. Sachin was aggressive too, where his bat did all the talking.

He only averages 38.7 since 2020 (supposed to be his best years in test cricket) despite skipping 10 away tests. If that's considered consistency, the standards are pretty low.
I will not tell you to retire from the format just bcoz he you failed in an one series after performing 5 years consistently. Fake fans, glory hunters are coming out. Our time will come soon @ImRo45 😄

Rishabh Pant's consistency needs to be praised a lot more. Despite his high-risk high-reward approach, the way he's consistently churned out runs (and mostly in adverse conditions) is unbelievable. On his way to become a genuine all-time great in Test cricket as a pure batter.

If you remove that 241* and 60* on an absolute road of a Sydney track where McGrath wasn't in the XI and 1700+ runs were scored, Sachin averaged 16.4 in BGT 2003-04.
VIRAT KOHLI IN HOME TESTS!. "He has averaged 40+ in just one out of four years in home Tests. If you remove that ton at Rajkot, his average reduces to 22. That pitch was such that if there was no day limit, they would still be playing that Test match.". 🔗:

They used to ask the captain to drop himself "after losing an overseas test" despite him being the only batter who had the balls to thrive in hostile overseas conditions.
There was a time when people used to write threads for wrong DRS’ taken by captain. Those writers seem to have vanished now. Oh the things they have done to show that one guy as the worst person to play the sport in every capacity. But guess what? He keeps winning.
