If I were Kohli I would not play first 4-5 matches in IPL. No one is going to blame him. Chat Mallya is not there either.

If he plays all matches, then he will be very tired by the time Champions Trophy arrives

Agree with Hodge,Haddin and Julian :beer-bottle:

 

Kohli was injured on the 17th of  March, 2017.

 

Doctors who scanned him said that it was a ligament tear that needed 15 to 20 days of rest.

That means, he is expected to be fit by 6th April 2017

Brad Hodge may be sounding as a sore loser but he has got a point. Kohli decided to miss one of the most important test match in the entire home series and perhaps his career. But if he somehow dawns RCB's jersey next thursday, it will bring criticism of him giving more priority to IPL. Ofcourse we all know his committment and he will be the last player to fake injuries, but it will send a wrong signal and haters will get a valid point to criticize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IPL is a long tournament. Kohli must not rush and play only if he is 100% fit. Lots of time half fit cricketers play IPL due to Franchise pressure and miss internationals. Malinga, Mustafiz etc. all have played IPL with injuries and missed many international games for their respective country.With Champions trophy coming up, hope that is not the case with Kohli.

The lowest point of Indian cricket was when dhoni (not injured ) actually declared he was to miss crucial away test series v Sri Lanka to rest . Of course a few weeks later was raring to go for ipl and srini mamma .

MSD was one of the fittest cricketers. He hardly ever missed any game let it be internationals or IPL. He captained, batted, keeped relentlessly for 10 years in all formats, in all IPLs and delivered results. At the age of 36 he is still toiling hard in domestics. Anyone doubting his committment are pure haters.

That's not a fair statement. Dhoni was clearly overworked and fatigued at that point - being 'keeper in all 3 formats with India's schedule is an ultra-marathoner level job.  And he was carrying a few niggles as well.   I give the man credit for putting up his hand and taking care of his body - having the guts to say no to BCCI is not easy.  And to be fair, its not like he chickened out of a tough series.  It was a perfect opportunity to audition Naman Ojha.    This is as silly as casting aspersions on VK for missing this test.  Everyone knows what a competitor VK is.  No way was he missing out on this match if he could possibly played.

Dhoni did miss test series to merely rest . Not cos injured . Suprise suprise was fresh and ready to go for ipl . 

 

Was a shocking moment 

 

and no not perfect time for another to play and we were going for number one and playing strong team in their own conditions

Give it a rest. Even you know you are simply taking out your frustrations on MSD.

 

I have already said, I dnt believe 1 bit that Kohli faked injuries. All i am saying is it will give haters like brad hodge/healy to be more vocal if Kohli plays in IPL starting next week.

 

On a lighter note, his replacement Kuldeep Yadav already contributed more in 14 overs than Kohli did this whole series. So yes, Aussies must have missed him dearly :cantstop:

You have your version of interpreting the situation - but there are other perspectives as well.  Look at how many games he had played in the time leading up to that series.  I don't want to re-argue this BS - its ancient history by now.
