Asia Cup 2022 Seems there were people who were insecure about him - Salman Butt reacts to Virat Kohli s comments at press conference

By Renin Wilben Albert Modified 07 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share MS Dhoni (left) and Virat Kohli. Pic: Getty Images Former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt reckons that some people in Indian cricket were insecure about Virat Kohli’s stature when he was the captain of the national team. According to Butt, the latter’s comments at a recent press conference point towards the same. Kohli top-scored for India with 60 off 44 in their Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday, September 4, in Dubai. Despite his impressive knock, the Men in Blue lost the game by five wickets. At a press conference following the India-Pakistan match, Kohli opened up about his low phase and revealed that only MS Dhoni reached out to him after he had quit the Test captaincy. Reacting to the 33-year-old’s statement, Butt said on his YouTube channel: “During the press conference, Kohli specified that neither he nor Dhoni have insecurities. It seems that there were people who were insecure about him and possibly still are.” Reflecting on the tumultuous phase when Kohli quit captaincy in two formats and was removed from one, Butt opined: “The dramatic fashion in which his captaincy stints ended, any person with a workable head on his shoulders can work out that things were not fair. He didn’t deserve that, but such low points come in life.” Ravi Bhai ?‍@tracer_bullet1Two things to take note here:
1. How visibly Virat Kohli is hurt because of ‘some’ people from cricket fraternity.
2. Answering to a question not relevant to the context of post match press-conference despite carrying a stature of being The Virat Kohli.

The meaning of his statement that no one other than MS Dhoni contacted him after he quit Test captaincy is a far-fetched one.” Kohli gave up the Test captaincy after the series loss to South Africa earlier this year. He quit the T20I captaincy after the World Cup in the UAE last year, while he was removed as ODI skipper as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wanted one white-ball captain for both formats.

Please be sensible don t take it too far - Salman Butt on Arshdeep Singh being trolled

During the discussion, Butt also urged cricket fans not to be too harsh on Arshdeep Singh. The young Indian pacer came under fire after dropping Asif Ali's simple catch against Pakistan. Making a plea, Butt said: “No player makes a mistake deliberately. Cricketers from countries like India and Pakistan make a lot of sacrifices to reach the international level. I request people, ‘please be sensible, don’t take it too far’.” Taking a dig at the trolls, he added: “These same people will ask cricketers for a selfie with their kids when they do well. I have experienced such things happening.” ANI@ANI"We also watched the first match and the second match was also good but silly mistakes happen and can happen by anyone. People have a habit to say, let them say. If people are commenting on it, it means they love him," says Daljeet Kaur, mother of Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh4928403"We also watched the first match and the second match was also good but silly mistakes happen and can happen by anyone.
