Many former cricketers and fans slammed Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma for their dismal shows and even calls for their retirement were made.

Ex-Australia Captain Gives Team India Winning Recipe For England Tour, Makes Bold 'Virat Kohli' Verdict

Virat Kohli's wretched run of form and his constant weakness playing deliveries outside the off-stump have been hot topics of conversation in the cricket world for many weeks now. Kohli endured a rough Border-Gavaskar Trophy, scoring only 190 runs in nine innings, getting dismissed each time to a ball angled outside the off-stump. Such has been his downfall that question marks have also arisen over whether he should even be a part of India's Test squad to England in June. For former Australia World Cup-winning captain Michael Clarke, there is only one answer to that question.

Virat Kohli Held Responsible For Cutting Short Yuvraj Singh's Career, Robin Uthappa Drops Bomb

Former batter Robin Uthappa has held Virat Kohli indirectly responsible for cutting short Yuvraj Singh's international career after he beat cancer to return to the team, saying the flamboyant all-rounder's request for certain fitness concessions was denied by the then India captain. One of India's finest players in white-ball cricket, Yuvraj was one of the big reasons for the team's twin World Cup success under MS Dhoni's leadership, but after the title triumph in the 2011 ODI showpiece, he was diagnosed with cancer and was promptly treated for the same in the US.

"Virat Kohli Wanted Conflict And Confrontation": Ex-RCB Teammate Blasts India Stalwart

Virat Kohli's tour of Australia did not go as per plan. While it started off brilliantly with a superb century at Perth, it ended on a sour note, full of controversy and doubts surrounding his form. In the fourth Test in Melbourne, Kohli got embroiled in a shoulder clash with Australia's teenage debutant Sam Konstas, leading him to be fined 20 per cent of his match fees. Kohli also teased the Sydney crowd during the fifth Test with a 'sandpaper' reference. Speaking on these issues, former Australia cricketer Simon Katich - once the head coach of Kohli at Indian Premier League franchise (IPL) Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) - stated that Kohli had tarnished his reputation.

Anushka Sharma Trolled After Virat Kohli's Failure. Ex-Star Says, "Darker The Night..."

Indian cricket team stars often have to pay a heavy price for their popularity. Just like they are adored by fans after a good performance, a bad show often sees them getting trolled. What's worse is that the attack is not limited to just the player as often his or her family members also get dragged in between. The same happened after Virat Kohli had a forgettable Tour of Australia. In the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli scored 190 runs in nine innings at an average of 23.75. His faltering show in the top order was seen by many experts as a reason behind India's 1-3 loss.
