Kohli's outburst does not help the team in India

Virat Kohli's outburst against an Indian journalist has revealed a complete rupture between the media and the Indian team.

A press release concise multimedia computer administrator India, Dr. Baba this morning says: "Hello everyone, there was a misunderstanding was used and no abusive language Virat has spoken with Mr. concerned immediately and matter. ends. "

Notable are two things. First, Dr. Baba says, "is not used abusive language." Having spoken to all the journalists present at the scene, was actually used abusive language. And if not, why is issuing a press release if Virat was just having a normal conversation? A conversation between a player and a journalist require a press release?

Second, "Virat has spoken with Mr. and ends the matter."

In fact, must end and no need to blow something so out of proportion, especially when India is playing well and is in the midst of a campaign in the World Cup. That said, some things need to be expressed in unequivocal terms.

First, it is completely unjustified future captain of India to reach a confrontation with a reporter of a story, now a few months. Virat may have their reasons to be upset by the violation of their privacy but nothing justifies a public outbreak of the way it was done. For such a thing simply does not help or Indian cricket Virat any way. All it does is divert attention for a brief period and shows Virat in a way that would not be happy.

That Virat mistook the journalist for someone else draws attention to a larger problem-total breakdown in relations between the media and the cricket team of India. So much so that the vice-captain did not know the journalists by face. Frankly, such a thing would never have happened a few years ago. Now with disabled players greet the media in tourism and vice versa, there is simply no camaraderie between these two components. That the media is an extension of the team is also doing work is perhaps lost in the transmission media.

Returning to Virat - that is on the cusp of greatness. Batting superbly for India, has everything going for it. And as captain, was nothing more sublime in the Test series scoring 4 hundred on Australian soil. So much so that Mohinder Amarnath legends have gone on record suggesting that Virat should have been named captain at the World Cup itself.

In such circumstances, when his team takes the reins just a matter of time, Virat needs to show more restraint under provocation. It is not the first celebrity faces this kind of intrusion. Michael Clarke faced serious interference means when he broke up with Lara Bingle. So much so that went halfway on a journey not cope with the pressure. Even now there is a lot of talk about him and Kyly Clarke. David Warner and Candice Falzon is also widely spoken about. To go one step further, David and Victoria Beckham are always on the lips of people in the UK.

It is intrinsic to being a celebrity superior and everything Virat have to do is ignore such stories. It is in their interest and also of Indian cricket that the future captain of India not courting unnecessary controversies.

Finally, it is a reminder to the new dispensation in the BCCI something to do with regard to relations with media player urgency. Synergy is the way to go and one can only hope that Dalmiya and Thakur will look at this issue with urgency. One of the main shortcomings of the previous regime was that allowed things to drift a bit too far. Hence the designation of media managers like Dr. Baba who have not lived up to expectations of the media tour. Instead of being useful, it has always tried to stop the player-media interaction and the incident Virat is the culmination of this process.

For the sake of Virat and Indian cricket matter of fact needs to close. No more dragging point. But anyway, lessons need to be learned to prevent a repeat in the future because it can only hurt Virat and Indian cricket in the long run
