Kohli is an all-time great obviously, and when he's done with his playing days there will be few records left standing.
The verbal retorts, mostly against reporters or lesser opponents, have a sense of punching down. Maybe it adds to his fuel, it doesn't change the nature of what he does.
It definitely gets him going, though. He is a bit like Waugh and Lara that way. The moment someone questions their rhythm, he sees an enemy to conquer.
It is definitely punching down, and by now, there is no surprise that he likes the fact that he is worshipped. It is cool that the same people, who he calls "outsiders", lay on the floor for him. But a question? Haha.
And most from the last couple of decades - a few surprising names included - are petulant to the point where one small question is responded to with glares and verbal jostling.
A lot of ground to cover but this was so good. I wonder how the World Cup went. I love your writing Sarthak. I love everything you do on your sub.
Thank you so much man :)
