[VIDEO] “I saw sense of selfishness in Virat Kohli’s batting": Mohammad Hafeez

[shariqnoor]

I asked when hafeez made his statement? Is mein kya rhetorical question hai?

I clearly want a time framed answer? I'm sorry, is it obvious when hafeez made his statement?

"Hafeez made the comment after the match was over no?"

If this isn't rhetorical, then I don't know what does rhetorical mean.

Maybe your intention wasn't to ask a rhetorical question. In that case, you shouldn't be adding the word no at the end there.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma and Shreyas Iyer were supremely selfless. Even Gill was not selfish.

This conversation is so stupid, you do realise that right?

I ain't replying to this with a straight face

 

[Rana]

This is so embarrassing for Hafeez. He thinks he will be Pakistan’s next chairman and potentially the next prime minister one day

Bigger issue is he is unable to take a joke and making it so serious

Vaughan and Jaffar are always sparring but don't get so personal.

I guess that’s why he stormed out of the PCB office as well. Probably got offended when Chairman sab didn’t offer him an extra samosa or biscuit during the meeting.

And then idiots around him are egging him on as well.

Bunch of comedians are Pakistan cricketers. One generation to the next

 

[shariqnoor]

Hafeez needs to quit X. Getting into unnecessary fights.

no no that was our Younis Khan who got angry that how dare the PCB chief made him wait outside.

Hafeez needs to understand that his playing days are over. If he wants to coach than dont prematurely resign, and if he wants to do tv gigs, than be sensible with his statements.

The way everyone called him professor, i was excited to see Hafeez on TV and thought he would speak sense. But he turned out no different than many of ex cricketers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Virat has an army of supporters. I am not even talking about bots. Real fans are there for him. Vaughan was merely sharing what those fans shared. He doesn't even have to do any research. Kohli's fans will do it for Vaugha. So hafeez should quit while he is just "behind" instead of engaging with Vaughan.

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh man....Just checked Twitter, Michael Vaughan has launched World war 3 on Hafeez and Indian fans having field day

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Vaughan had many Pakistani twitter supporters back when he used to troll India Just saying.

This. Plenty used to support Michael Vaughan.
Only time they had issues with MV was when he called out Ajmal for the horrendous chucker that he was .

Same with Holding. When he was talking trash about IPL and Indian cricket , it was all fine and dandy as Holding was a straight shooter. Moment he questioned Akhtar's action and blatantly called Ajmal a chucker, he was considered an obsolete geezer

Vaughan knows how to stay relevant. He is just doing some harmless banter

His tone suggests that he Is taking it as a joke and is expecting witty replies but the other person takes it to heart and starts a fight

First it was Wasim Jaffar and now Hafeez

MV has had some racism allegations thrown against him in the past, so I could never really get behind him (I didn't mind him calling Ajmal a chucker because there was some merit there)

That racism allegation came very recently. MV has been trolling at least for a decade

 

[Snowflake]

Hafeez has a fair point but most experts, including MV, tend to look at the scorecard to judge performances.

Kohli did slow down near his milestone and Hafeez is right in calling that out.

Most here are just shooting the messenger which in fact tells you Hafeez has a solid point.

 

[Mamoon]

Maxwell went from 180 to 201 with 3 sixes. Western players don't play for personal records in comparison to subcontinental players.

Similarly have seen Babar slow down to a 50 or 100 many times before holing out immediately afterwards

Maxwell couldn’t run. It is not like he had a choice.

It is a myth that non-Asian players don’t chase milestones. Everyone does.

As a batsman, you have to be completely lacking in ambition and personal pride if you don’t want to achieve milestones.

Hafeez himself or anyone else would have done the same if they were in Kohli’s situation.

It is always easy to talk.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Honestly speaking kohli playing as per the requirement, His team giving him the cushion to play this way because all batsman are in good form and playing with good strike rate.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Please spare him, dude.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Please spare him, dude.

This guy has no peace, even after getting a befitting answer from Mohammad Hafeez.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Vaughan is the happiest man alive after Virat Kohli picked up a wicket against the Netherlands. He got another chance to take a dig at Hafeez. This banter is getting funnier every day. LOL

Steve Waugh all the time talked about centuries in his auto biography.Warne called him most selfish player ever he saw.

Selfish innings today again from Virat

Mohammad Hafeez , via a podcast, reiterates his 'selfish' comments regarding Virat Kohli's 100 against South Africa in the 2023 World Cup:

"No matter who is batting, your intention and way of playing should always be towards winning the game. But if someone is stopping himself not to play big shots in the 90s, I will never take it."

"After 95, if someone is taking five balls to get to his hundred and not thinking of hitting off those 3 or 4 balls, and if the intention gets changed after scoring a 100, why can't I play the same shot on 95?"

"So in that game (South Africa), Virat took a lot of balls to get to his 100 and he was not playing big shots."

I think virat was playing against Afghanistan as per the demand of conditions so i dont think in just 1 bad WC we should criticise him.
