Why can't he just be a good cricketer who entertained? Why does he have to be a role model. Millions of people around the world are very successful at their job and they're not role models.

I think he is a perfect role model, just be yourself and give it the best at what you do.
He was a great cricketer, and he was himself, he didn't try to change himself to be popular , to win friends, he just lives his life as he wants to. Society demands his behaviour should be better and I say hats off to him for telling society to shove it up their arses and for living the life he wants to live in the way he wants to live it.
He has to live with his decisions on how he lives his life, not us, so what's makes us so righteous to judge him?
I find him an inspiration and admire him for being a real person not someone that spends his live trying to be what everyone else thinks he should be.
