sourab10forever Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Kohli at 43 from 230 innings. Tendu at 49 from 452 innings. 6 centuries more required in 22 innings to beat him to it with 200 innings lesser. Can he do it? Link to comment
maniac Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Yes he can. New Odi rules have made super easy to score 100s for top 3. No disrespect to Kohli, he is cut above his peers in ODIs but even guys like Babar Azam have stellar records in ODIs in these days adi B, Rasgulla, Unstable Joe and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment
sourab10forever Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 I would have put in the effort to tell you who the next 22 matches are against and where but then I thought, does it really matter? That's the kind of great we are talking about. Link to comment

Vilander Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Kohli pretty much is his own class in ODI batting. Any opposition is soft runs for him. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment

sergio04 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) 9 batsmen outperformed him in 2019 wc. Many will outperform him in 2023 wc as well. Edited November 24, 2019 by sergio04 sandsaims and Vijy 1 1 Link to comment

zen Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Obsession with 100s continue. In the recent WC, the best inning for Ind was the one that Jadeja played (and not a 100 scored by any batsman) .... in CT, it was the inning played by Pandya .... the performances ppl remember Many Ind modern top order batsmen are formulaic in their approach to score 100s (at times at the expense of team’s interest in LOIs) so 100s don’t carry the same weight anymore in ODIs. Saw one batsman score 4-5 100s, many pointless, in the last WC after getting multiple chances PS KW and Stokes 50s are more prized than any 100 scored by Ind batsmen in the WC19 Edited November 24, 2019 by zen Vijy, singhprakash72, sergio04 and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Saw one batsman score 4-5 100s, many pointless, in the last WC after getting multiple chances PS KW and Stokes 50s are more prized than any 100 scored by Ind batsmen in the WC19 This obsession of Indian batsmen and Indian Cricket fans with 100s is an age old one. May be it all started when SMG became highest century maker in test cricket back in 80's after he surpassed Don Bradman's record. And then how the Indian fans were all waiting for 100th 100 of SRT is a well documented piece of evidence of this obsession. Having said this, I don't think that "the best inning for Ind was the one that Jadeja played". The match was already lost when Jadeja entered and he did not win the match for India. He got out playing his shots and even at his exit, the match was in NZ's favor. But then it is a good innings nevertheless. KW and Stokes 50's are indeed prized. Here Stokes 84* is extremely good and probably better than any innings played by Indian batsman in WC 2019 but then it is not Stokes fault he did not make a 100. He did what he could to take his team across the line(here they reached the line) and the innings is over. His innings is no less than a 100 in real value terms similar to MSD's 91* in WC 2011 final or Gambhir's 97 in the same match. And all the innings you were referring to are low scoring matches where both the teams did not get a 250 runs in an innings. In such matches, a very good 70-80 odd is equivalent to a 100 in a high scoring match where both teams perhaps made 300 runs around. My bottom line is scoring 100 is still a very good thing that need not be put down. NOT scoring a 100 could also mean valuable like in the cases you cite, but that does not mean we put down the centuries scored by our or any batsmen. I agree that we need not be stat obsessed by centuries like the topic of this thread. Link to comment

Pandya’s knock was just a low pressure swing your bat as there is no alternative type situation. I rate his knock in the first game vs Pak in CT higher. Same with Jadeja, he couldn’t finish the game but good effort. Pandyas CT knock is one of the most overrated knocks out there. It’s no different from Umesh Yadavs recent 6 hitting spree sarcastic 1 Link to comment
