Virat Kohli faces fan backlash after Aakash Deep’s duck, while hinting at a historic milestone with RCB till 2027!

In a rollercoaster week for cricket fans, Virat Kohli has found himself in the eye of a storm once again. After Aakash Deep registered a duck, fans did not hold back in blaming Kohli's leadership in the matter. Whether it was the pressure of the international game against New Zealand or the heavy expectations from fans, the moment showcased how the spotlight can shift rapidly in the world of cricket. Kohli's attempts to guide and uplift his team are often scrutinized, making him both a beloved and beleaguered figure.

On a much happier note, Kohli has hinted at a potential milestone worth celebrating — a 20-year association with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by extending his playing contract until 2027! Talk about loyalty! As a franchise player who has set records since entering the IPL, Kohli's commitment to RCB is commendable, especially with fans hoping for their first IPL title. With a staggering retention sum of Rs 21 crore, fans can expect to see more fireworks from the cricketing sensation as he gears up for the upcoming seasons.

However, not everyone agrees with the zeal surrounding Kohli's continued captaincy. Ex-cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar ignited discussions around Kohli's performance compared to the hero worship he receives. He emphasized that just because Kohli's name brings charisma does not mean his performance should blind fans and management alike. After all, while Kohli has donned the Orange Cap, his recent record includes the joint-slowest century in IPL’s history, leading to critical debates among fans and pundits alike.

Cricket is as much about moments of glory as it is about facing criticism. As Kohli navigates through the highs and lows of his career, fans are reminded that it’s not just about runs but about passion and commitment. Did you know that Kohli has played a whopping 252 IPL matches, amassing 8004 runs, including eight centuries? His statistics alone tell stories of hard work, resilience, and a desire to win — both for his team and himself.

As he prepares for the long and exciting path ahead, Kohli's determination shines through. If he indeed completes 20 years with RCB, he would tie with some of cricket’s legends, highlighting how passion for the game transcends mere statistics. From facing fan wrath to nurturing ambitions that span decades, Kohli's journey continues to enthrall cricket lovers across the nation!
