Test Career predictions - Kohli


Recommended Posts

He will max play 6 more years. 65 more tests approx, about 105 innings. If he averages 50 for those innings then 5250 runs more. Current runs 6300+5250= 11550.  Can have variations of 1000-1500 runs and 15 tests 1-2 years. It takes him to 13000 runs, around 155 tests, around 45 hundreds, average around 52-53

He can leave T20s by 2020 wc

And pick and choose in ODIs after 2023 wc. Actress generally dont work in bollywood after 35, so he might not feel homesick/family seek to retire early.:p:

 

I would like him to play tests till 38-39.

Even if he is not the same batsman overseas by 35. I don't he will have problem scoring in bulk in subcontinent (advantage for subcontinent batsman bcz slowing reflexes are not exposed that much in asian pitches)

 

Sachin, ponting, dravid, sangakkara, kallis, lara, waugh, border added 6000-7000+ runs after age of 30.

If kohli adds 7000 runs more in 90 tests, 150 innings over next 8-9 years he can cross 2nd highest run tally 13378 of ponting.

Behind tendu only in both the formats and 2nd guy ever to touch 30k mark across 3 formats.

He is like a slightly lesser version of Punter for me. I think we will see a decline in his stats close to retirement. I see him ending with a 50+ career avg, but only slightly more than 50.

lesser or better?
At age 30 :
Punter  matches 83/134   6377runs @54.04  20/25
Kohli     matches 73/124   6331runs @54.47  24/19  (slightly better at this stage)

punter had insane peak till 107 test avg reached almost 60. But averaged below 40 in his last 61 test!! No 100 for almost 2 years.
I really hope kohli surpass his 13378 even by 1 run, to become no.2 after sachin :p:
In ODIs and T20s there is no comparison at all.
