Tharoor’s Tweet Rekindles Debate Over Kohli’s Absence As India Face Series Defeat
Shashi Tharoor: As India slipped to a crucial loss in the ongoing Test series against England, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor stirred a fresh wave of discussion by pointing to the absence of former captain Virat Kohli.
Taking to social media, Tharoor remarked that he had missed Kohli during the entire series, “but never as much as in this Test match,” suggesting that the star batter’s grit, intensity, and leadership could have altered the outcome.
Tharoor highlighted Kohli’s well-known presence in the field and his prolific run-scoring ability as decisive factors India sorely lacked. While Kohli is on a short break from international cricket for personal reasons, Tharoor’s tongue-in-cheek appeal — “Is it too late to call him out of retirement? Virat, the nation needs you!” — quickly went viral on social media, reflecting the frustration of fans following India’s inconsistent performances.
