Pujara needs to be dropped just for those runouts

Sad for pujara...but if you make 1 run in 25 balls and don't rotate strike ,then the non striker will try to take risky singles.

 

Although to be honest..I did not see the run out.

The run out happened at the end where Virat was attempting to run, but then stopped mid-way and turned. It was a total misunderstanding which handed a easy run-out.

 

Chet is not a fast runner, but not his fault today. If only Virat would ahve continued running in one direction then we would have been able to figure out whether Virat miscalculated the run or not.

Cricbuzz commentary says Kohli ran him out.

 

So sad. 

It was pujara's call, the only mistake kohli did was trust pujara's call and responded but midway he realized that the single was not on and turned back, pujara doesn't even know how to judge singles, sure kohli left him stranded by responding and then turning back, but it was always pujara's call and he definitely misjudged since the single was never on.

It was an easy single,Kohli Returned easily from middle of pitch.

It was not an easy single, if it was kohli would have made it

It was not an easy single, if it was kohli would have made it

Kohli Was Already Halfway Up the pitch and he was running to the danger end.

And if he continued running he would have been short by a couple of inches, it wasn't an easy single by any stretch if imagination

Why does Pujara get so much sympathy on icf even after suckling so much, is it his face? 1 from 22 balls is never acceptable

I agree with this. If these kind of innings are a symbol of grit, even Ishant Sharma has shown a lot of temperament down the order,surviving a few deliveries. Pujara plays these innings that kind of go no where.

Did ypu watch it? It is always the call from person running towards the danger's end. pujara hesitated and saw Kohli charging down like a maniac. So, he had to respond and started running hard. If Kohli had dashed and dived, he would have made it. But he saw Pujara running but still turned back and started running back. That's criminal.

Easy single, Kohli bottled it

and then rains

Yes, I watched it live, go to cricinfo and rewatch it if you are having trouble remembering it, it is always the call of the batsman who played the ball unless the ball goes behind the batsman in which case it is the non striker's call, pujara doesn't have the balls to say no to kohli if he feels there isn't a run in it, he is such a meek character,  pujara tapped the ball which went straight to the fielder, pujara took a couple of steps and kohli responded immediately ( that was his only mistake), puajara being a weak character couldn't say no to kohli even though it was his call and thus started running irrespective of whether there was a single or not, kohli realized there wasn't a single at all and left pujara stranded, if pujara had any balls he would have shouted NO the moment he saw the fielder rushing towards the ball

Pope had it to run in from slips, Kohli would have made it easy

Kohli wouldn't have made it, the only way kohli could have made it was if pope threw the ball and missed the stumps, it wasn't an easy single any way, pope was charging in, if kohli had kept running and pope panicked and threw the ball instead of running to the stumps then kohli would have most likely made it, but if pope showed even slightest presence of mind and did what he did in the above video, kohli would have been short of his ground, sure it would have been close, but kohli would have been in trouble for sure, pujara should have shouted NO to kohli the moment he saw pope charging towards the ball

Now that I see the video, totally unnecessary from both especially considering the match situation. Can't afford these LOI type quick singles when we are in dire straits...poor match awareness. Pujara gets stuck at one end for long periods of time and then runs like a maniac all of a sudden, my sympathies to his batting partners. Kohli did blunder but there was never a run there at 15/2.

what lol, dont go by video, the distance to make and then Pope’s momentum meant he could only throw at non-striker

bad judgement from Kohli...sold Pujara did wn the road

anyways better him out there then Pujara

You are not getting it, there wasn't any single there, it was pujara's call, even if kohli had made it as you assume even then it would have been a risky single, it wasn't an easy single by any stretch of imagination. Secondly, it wasn't bad judgement from kohli since it wasn't kohli's judgement to make in the first place, pujara was close to the fielder, pujara hit the ball, so pujara was the best judge at that moment if the single was available or not, it was his call, but the moment he saw kohli charging he started running too, that's because he simply can't say no to kohli, he doesn't have confidence on his own running, he doesn't have the character to make strong decisions, he should have shut down kohli the moment he saw him running and both batsmen would have been safe, but pujara refuses to make strong decisions on field or show character, which is why he fails so often.

[kira]

If there was any other batsman other than pujara in this situation, they would have shouted at kohli to get back at his crease, Kohli is no GOD ( sachin ), he makes mistakes too, that's where other batsmen have to step in and correct him, but pujara is so low in confidence that he can't even speak in front of kohli

 Kohli made mistake others should step in? 

 

That’s what most are saying including pundits, Kohli made mistake here, his fault but move on, and you are on about character and what’s not, lol

Kohli's mistake was way smaller than Pujara's that's what I am saying
