Some supporters of Virat Kohli voiced their extreme criticism of Dainik Jagran media for publishing stories drawing comparisons between Kohli and Rohit Sharma, especially with regard to their different playing styles. In a display of protest, Kohli’s supporters lit newspaper copies on fire and called for a boycott of Dainik Jagran media following the publication of an article in which the publication discussed Kohli’s batting strategy for the 2023 ODI World Cup and implied that Rohit Sharma does not value centuries as highly as Kohli does.
In a recent article written by sportswriter Abhishek Tripathi for Dainik Jagran, there was a clear distinction in the mindsets of current Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli. Their disparate playing approaches were discussed in the article “Shatak Par Ravaiyaa alag alag” (two diverse viewpoints on a century).
The criticism of Kohli by the author emphasized the former captain’s tendency to go for centuries, frequently focusing on reaching the desired 100-run mark. He said that instead of the Indian team’s overall success, Kohli seemed to be more focused on his own accomplishments. He lavished praise on Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, praising his team-oriented style of play and highlighting the significance of hitting big, aggressive strokes to score large runs.
The author responds to the contentious piece
The article did not sit well with Kohli’s devoted fan base, who expressed their disapproval on social media by trending a hashtag criticizing the publication for its position. The most of the criticism from the supporters was directed at Tripathi, who is also Dainik Jagran’s sports editor.

He answered with a tinge of irony, stating, “Winter is coming, ‘fans’ are about to go off,” in response to the turbulent responses.
