Cricketics Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Virat Kohli Thread Ofcourse Badrinath has impressed lot of folkz and now people will hype him all of a sudden. but well i am not here to hype any player just starting this thread to make some sense. Virat Kohli really impressed me the way he was handling Mendis. he played his shots and was looking pretty good until he decided to play that shot where he got out. i think he can be a superv player and one to look out for i don't know why ppl are cursing Kohli, he wasn't the one who forced selectors to pick him. he got selected and was lucky. he hasn't scored any century or fifty yet, but his knock in 2nd odi shows he can bat. just watch out for this star Link to comment
flamy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have no probs with Kohli, not his fault he got selected. But, by throwing him in like this, they have only made things difficult for him. All the best to him either way. Anyone who plays for India always has my wishes. :icflove: Link to comment

Its the BCCI we're talking about. I dunno if money makes the world go round, but it sure as hell makes the BCCI go around. Im not trying to accuse Kohli of anything (this is more in reference to that statement itself) ... but money is a powerful thing. If you think the selection committee isnt influenced by other factors ($$$) ... then you will probably believe that the BCCI is seriously looking out for Indian cricket, and is not simply interested in raking in some more cash.

King Tendulkar Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not impressed by Kohli needs another 2 years at least in FC. He is way to flashy and wafty outside off stump. He should not be in squad in any form of game from what I have seen. Needs to harden up and work on his game in FC cricket! Long way from being the real deal! Link to comment

People have to do the FC cricket hard yards, learn the temperament etc. These days BCCI fashion is to let yengsters skip domestics and directly go to national team. Link to comment

Long way from being the real deal! yep i full agree with u..thats wat happened with Raina..he was picked too early he played well initially then lost his form and din know how to fite it out..and he had to grind it out in the FC level for 2 years..now he is much better..although the lapses in concentration are still there but he is looking gud now..Kohli has been picked early for that matter even Rohit..selectors never learn..i guess they get excited seeing a young talent and pick them immediately..i know v all do get excited to see a young talent coming thro but ultimately gud experience in the first class level wud hold the players in gud stead..not everyone can be like Sachin Link to comment

We must stop picking kids and pick, seasoned, finished cricketers. Not players whom are still developing. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Some of the best players ever around the world have debuted at aroung 26 to 30 years old. No idea why we keep picking 19 year olds. So many players really discover their game at 27 plus and then are ready to go. Gambhir is a point in case but some posters were even saying when I wanted him in that he was to old:(( Link to comment

This is ideal, but I feel and have read that the BCCI feel that domestic cricket stagnates more than it develops talents and prefer to use U19 cricket as the scouting pool - a most troubling scenario.

cowboysfan Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I too agree with DSR.young batmen are rarely consistent -especially those who have not played first class cricket and had some good consistent scores over there-this baptism by fire rarely works and once they burn out and fall it takes a lot of time for them to get their confidence back.

Guest dada_rocks Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 He was picking Mendis so well which our great stalwarts could not do.. wonder why is he being barbecued here.. Link to comment

No doubt kohli is raw and needs a year or 2 of domestic cricket but he will come good. Comes across as such a calm player. Seemed a bit jumpy in the first ODI but you cant blame him after all it was his debut game. I just saw highlights of 2nd ODI atleast he highlights he looked far more comforatble than Yuvraj. No doubt he is one for the future. Link to comment
