May be 1 he has skipped. Here this guy is skipping series after series. In this year he has just played SA tour, IPL and Eng tour. Skipped Nidahas trophy, Afg test and now Asia cup.

He was recuperating from his neck injury during Afghanistan test match otherwise he would have been off to Surrey.

Past players want Kohli to play every series.

 

They should try to influence this insanely packed schedule then.

 

We just finished a gruelling series in England ... 5 tests,  3 ODIs and 3 T20Is ... and our first Asia Cup match is in 7 days. That too 2 ODIs in 2 days.

 

And half the series are like this ... they start in no time at all.

 

Is this a joke !   All format players will suffer from mental fatigue.

 

Do they want to kill the geese laying golden eggs !

 

What was the kind of gaps between series when Patil played   !

Don't think our cricket calender was this packed even in 2017.

 

It has been crazy this year and may continue in the same vein next year.

Glad Kohli is not playing. He seem to have a back injury and needs rest, Aus test series is more imp. I hope this Asia cup with Kohli not being there this pathetic middle order gets busted. This no gooders rely too much on Kohli to bail them out all the time. 

 

 

Patil, Gavaskar and the Mumbai lobby dont like kohli much.. no?

I don't think so.
It's more like they are head in heels love with Rohit Sharma and Rahane

I am very critical of Sandeep patil being critical. I am glad Kohli is resting which gives opportunities to others.

In Sandeep Patil's playing days, India used to beat Pakistan more often. He himself won a game or two against the old enemy. Indian cricket's LOI transformation started with the 1983 world cup win, which Patil was very much part of. So he does have the experience of winning. Now, why should only Kohli be allowed to rest when bowlers like Bumrah are not allowed to? He would do well to skip a season of IPL citing the need to rest. Instead, he plays it every year leading his franchise to disappointing losses.

Why would fans be disappointed if he's willing to take rest and get ready for an important series in Australia.  Besides, we need to see how our ODI team hold up in the absence of Kohli, so that it will be easier to identify the dead weights. 

 

Patil is a nobody and that's why you don't hear his name whenever the past player's names are mentioned.

Don't have to go back too far. His predecessor Dhoni skipped a test series citing exhaustion after playing IPL.

This chewtiyaa Sandeep Patil acted in a b grade movie Kabhi ajnabi and skipped going to the west indies tour. He ruined his cricketing career that way.

 

Virat kohli is a genius with faults but this fool isnt fit to clean virat's shoes.

 

An useless donkey who skipped the most important tour of West Indies in 80s is making comments on Virat taking rest for Asia cup after playing non stop cricket and we are discussing about what the donkey feels Virat should do? lol

Virat out is a good thing,we finally might not have to witness his brilliant tactical selection and prooooactive on field decision making.

Even Dhoni missed Asia cup in 2014 due to injury after getting thrashed in Newzealand before that tour.

Oh yeah another 0-4 wasn't it??.. ashwin/jadeja chasing.
