Austin 3:!6 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Not amongst runs since Australia series and now struggling in IPL too. This could be a nightmare for us in Champions Trophy. With Rohit, Dhawan, Yuvraj, Dhoni all struggling for form, this is the last thing we wanted before the mega event. Thoughts?

nevada Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It's not his form but state of mind. I would have preferred him to skip IPL altogether. That series against Aus took a lot out of him and he needed some rest and time away from cricket to recharge his batteries. Austin 3:!6, Ultimate_Game, beetle and 1 other 4 Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Are you kidding me? 2 half centuries so far in 4 innings...How is it bad form ? 62 28 60 & 0 manu4411, Mosher, Number and 1 other 4 Link to comment
goose Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He's a show pony that basks in adulation. Once on top he will put his foot on your throat. Not so good at fighting to be second best or eek out a score after a bad trot. WC2011INDIA, beetle, Austin 3:!6 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 so far he avg'd 40 with that bat from 4 innings he has played so far. what are you worried about? Link to comment
cric_fan Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Who cares about form in a pyjama league? He will perform when it matters. speedheat 1 Link to comment

Rest of the batsmen scored at 200+ SR and if not for Kohli RCB would have scored above 230 at least. sscomp32 and kira 1 1 Link to comment
speedheat Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Scored 62 28 60 and 0, his form is just no worry I am more worried about his inability to read the pitch and conditions, yesterday was a prime example, opened with a spinner on a fast and bouncy pitch lol and i am also worried about that jealous oldie who may also misguide him.

CoverDrive Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Last year he was in sublime form and was simply unstoppable. He was scoring like no one had done before ever. There was bound to be a period where he will look more human. The Bad Aus series and injury took a lot of momentum and mentally he is tired. I am just hoping he gets over this IPL soon. How he handles with this bad season would be interesting to see. Link to comment
sandeep Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 One thing I didn't like is his statement about the sight-screen. Even if true, it comes off a lot like excuse making. Top players just don't do that. I don't want to be overly judgy, because these days, players are required to be available to the press and its very easy for them to slip up and say the "wrong" thing. But this statement just doesn't reflect well on him. Laaloo, Ultimate_Game, Masquerade and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Marshall Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nothing about form it's just his technique is shady for swinging conditions .So lets wait and watch for CT Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Kohli should've skipped this year's IPL and taken a long break. It's important to take a break and recharge mentally and he hasn't done that. He has been playing non-stop cricket for nearly 2 years now beetle 1 Link to comment
Masquerade Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He's scored runs but the issue is in almost every innings he's edged the ball to slip. Once he got lucky and the catch was dropped but it's worrying that he's starting to play away from his body again. Link to comment

Most leave it. Kohli is not able to resist and poke it. Hardly a technical issue. He is making a lot of judgemental errors be it against spinner or pacers. Link to comment
