Will virat kohli inning prove costly for india?

[Revolution]

Virat didnt play for this hundred. He setup best fielders during bowling in right areas.  

His bowling tactics were perfect. I feel he is giving his best in all departments. 

Stop criticizing Kohli.

Not really . These days the top order tends to have better strike rates . The likes of butler are an aberration , but even some one like Amla scores at 100 sir which is slow 

 

1)     Check the ODI SRs of top 3 batters in the last 3 years  ( link below )

 

Apart from Gayle, Roy and Bairstow ... no other batter has a SR of more than 101.7   ( Kohli 99.2  )

2)   A score of 350 means team scoring at a SR of 116.7

 

Lower order hitters will invariably score at a higher than team SR if they get going.  

 

This means that top order batters batting at SRs of 105 to 110 will suffice even in such a high scoring game.

Warner is so high partly due to that "bat" of his I'd assume. Eng have lots of people here - Hales, Bairstow and Roy - but Gayle has been a real beast. 22 matches - 79 sixes! Most of these guys, barring de Kock, have incredible 100 conversion rates but VK's is really Bradmanesque.

He played sensibly. Rotated strike in the slog overs to give maximum deliveries to Pandya and Dhoni who are better hitters.

Why is it hard for some people to accept that Kohli's power hitting game is inferior to all of our top 7 batters. Doesn't make him a bad batsman.

[krupaksk]

He played well. Showed the side where he can hold one end up, serves well in the long run in the World Cup. 

 

I think he is still conscious of our soft middle order to have some trust. The more runs KL, MS and others score with consistency, he will play with lot more freedom.

 

It looked so good that the team is playing with a strong tactic of the top 3 scoring big runs. Not always will work, but the strategy is very clear. 

 

I trust him to have a good World Cup. 

[rageaddict]

It was Infact Kohli holding the innings from one end that allowed Pandya,  Dhoni and later Rahul to go after the Australian attack.  Had Kohli got dismissed cheaply after Dhawan , India would have settled for a much lower score. You cannot expect batsmen at both ends to score at a S/R of 200.

 

This is exactly what lead to Australia's collapse against Pakistan today.

I hope Ppl saw todays match and understood thats its important one set batsman bats till end. U cant go bang bang every day. Every situation , pitch , conditions are diff......and u have to play differently. I hve seen this a lot here....if some other team bats till end we call them smart and if Indian does it we call them selfish. Its not a video game that every day everyone will hit six after six
