Harsha Bhogle was disappointed with 'irresponsible click bait' while questioning the credibility of the profession.
Harsha Bhogle was very unhappy with the use of social media nowadays after his half-edited clip received criticism from Virat Kohli fans about his batting in the shortest format. Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle expressed his sheer disappointment after a half-edited clip of him talking about Virat Kohli’s batting making rounds on social media on Monday, February 19. Bhogle is often known for his expertise in the sport and for being on the commentary panel during India bilateral matches and major tournaments.
Bhogle is always active on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter), sharing his opinions on the matches. However, the cricket commentator was unhappy with the use of social media nowadays after his half-edited clip received criticism from Virat Kohli fans about his batting in the shortest format. In the video, Harsha Bhogle spoke about how Virat Kohli’s dismissal in the T20 format is in the team’s best interest, as it paves the way for a more aggressive batter. However, the video abruptly ends while he is continuing his discussion.

Bhogle was quick to react to his video with a quote retweet on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the video was cropped and slammed ‘selective’ editing reporting while urging the media to put the whole chip.
“This is an example of what I was talking about with social media. The video is cropped just before the point where I say that Virat is capable of playing across situations but that I was only highlighting how even the greatest players have to keep adjusting demands and priorities.” Harsha Bhogle wrote on X.
“Come on @PTI_News. I am sure you can do better. With selectively edited reporting, nobody will be able to articulate thoughts again. Can you put out the whole clip please?” the 59-year-old added.
In another Tweet, Harsha Bhogle was disappointed with ‘irresponsible clickbait’ while questioning the credibility of the profession.
“If even @PTI_News succumbs to irresponsible clickbait media, what chance does our profession have? Extremely disappointed. I hope the head of @PTI_News news is too. Come on, let us maintain the fairness of our profession.” Bhogle wrote.
