nevada Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This series has just started. He has plenty of time to get some big scores before it is over. He had a poor series against Australia but it can happen to any good batsman. No one can score big every series. New guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VK has an average of just under 50 in close to 100 innings. 16 centuries. 4 double century. What are you even talking about? Rohit? Seriously?

Gollum Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Obviously he will walk into any test team in the world atm, he is brilliant. Only issue for me is his glaring inconsistency in his short career so far. When he enters a bad patch he struggles to come out of it, eg Eng 2014 and this year. When he is in good nick he is truly majestic like prime Ponting but somehow every now and then he has a horrendous run. Clearly below KW and Root in that regard and miles behind Smith. Among the new fab 4 he is the weakest batsman in the longer format. Time is running out for him as he is chasing the towering standards set by the likes of SRT, Sunny, Dravid in batsmanship in the ultimate format, a huge task for any man.

sourab10forever Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 VK walks into the test 11 of any team. And we indian fans are crying about him other countries would let go of all their players to have one batsmen close to VK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no. He walks into the team even if he has a similar on-off kind of year. The fact that he is the only Indian in the fab 4 clearly shows that he is the best we have. lanka-girln 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollack Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Good thread @New guy. Kohli has technical issues. He hasn't done bad enough to get dropped but he isn't the best batsman in test team. He is also significantly below Smith at the moment. And KW and Root also look to be ahead. The reason is sound technique for rest of the batsmen from fab 4. Only as a test batsman Amla, Dekock and Abdeviliers are also better than kohli. But this is current standings. Kohli has a long and bright career and ample of time to be at the top.

We are not Pakistan, we have great batsmen as benchmarks, can't afford to settle for anything less. New guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 he might have technical issues and also tonnes of will power and determination to cross any hurdles they might cause him in his career. do people seriously expect someone like Kohli to wilt because he has 'technical issues'? he is not Kambli lol.

Temujin Khaghan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 but yes Kohli might be the best all-round batsman in the world but... he is 3rd best test batsman among his elite group consisting of Smith, Root, Kohli, Kane (in that order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
