Sgattick10 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If he keeps on going like this and retires at the right age without stretching like a gum, he'll end up with 60+ avg in both tests and ODIs. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Obviously his peak will end in next 2 - 3 years. Yes he will still be good batsman after peak but i doubt he will retire at 35 instead 38 looks possible. Link to comment

If he enjoys a late surge like Sanga, then he could very well achieve this plus 100 centuries. Link to comment
Jamadagni Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Used to go gaga over his average and centuries. But it all means nothing if he doesn't put up good scores in knockouts and 4th innings chases overseas. Failed in all knockout matches in 2011wc and 15wc, and though has done well overseas in tests, but fails to win matches when the going gets tough. In Adelaide test in 2014, choked at the end. In South Africa 2018, failed in 4th innings chasing in first two tests. In England, needed him the most in the first test and 4th test, but as usual choked. He got two two more tests coming up in the next one year, Australia and World Cup. Let's see what he is upto. Switchblade, nevada and DHONI_FANN 3 Link to comment
Nikola Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 His stats since 2016 are bradman kind of stats. He made 3000 runs in 46 innings at avg of 90+ and there isn't even anybody close to him in world. Root, Kane, Smith & Warner are no way near him. zen 1 Link to comment

This kind of sustained brilliance over 3 years is unprecedented. Rohit Sharma has been brilliant too. Average of 70. A bit under rated only because of Kohli's extra ordinary streak. express bowling, Vilander, velu and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Rohit trying to finish games and remain not out these days and his avg might boost in next year or two. Good stuff for for Indian cricket. Dhawan must improve conversion rate. philcric 1 Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Amazing we are seeing something special and we don't realise it because he keeps on doing it so often. Chasing a 320 with a commanding century like this would have been a remarkable feat some time back but is an everyday affair with Kohli. Of course this is not the most challenging opposition but having watch him bat he is at his absolute best. The way he is holding form while hitting and his balance is just too good. When he came in to bat there were a few difficult overs to face and he just managed it so well. He is also applying his learning from all other formats so well. He was playing outside the crease to counter the swing of Anderson etc. and he played similarly vs. Holder and really took the attack to him. His best shot was a tuck in walking down to Holder that just raced away to square leg. He was coming after a break having not played the Asia Cup and he was just bang on from the first ball. philcric, express bowling, lunigirly and 1 other 4 Link to comment

I remember when we both joined this forum in 2013, we had long debates about who would be a better batsman in future - Kohli or Pujara? I was arguing for Kohli and you were in Chepu camp. AVKC was at its peak back then. How times change...phew! FischerTal 1 Link to comment
