too harsh - as an individual contributor, Kohli has been right up there. His performance in Eng 2018 against Anderson-Broad, after what he endured in 2014, alone is enough to place him at very top. He has absolutely dominated LOIs (even clutch performances in T20 WC '14, CT '13 knockouts)...just that he was not cut out for captaincy, which many fans (myself included) thought he was..thats why selectors should ponder long & hard, ignoring a player's star power, before grooming a captain. If freed from captaincy burden, we might even see Kohli free up and take his batting back up a notch

I am specifically talking about odis and as said in personal front he has lot of centuries but if you analyze deeply there are very few which came against attack like today

Australian opening pair is showing how is it done.. no ugly hoicks , no harakiri, no brainfarts.. just proper odi cricket.. where u dispatch loose balls nd pick singles at good balls... 

 

When dhawan & rahul were batting.. they had turned it into snooze fest.. it was evident they were playing selfishly for their own place.. that's why rahul who started good.. somehow fluffed by giving extra respect to their spinners.. his biggest downfall is his strike rotation against spinners.. eats hell lot of dot balls.. ultimately getting out to an innocuous delivery.. he isn't an ideal one down or middle order batsman.. doesn't possess singles game..

even Rohit and Dhawan together don't possess the opening firepower modern ODI cricket requires for teams to consistently reach 325+. Dhawan is done, will be 37 by time of 2023 WC. Give KL license for 10 ODIs to go berserk in first 10 overs like he is playing a T20, if that doesn't work go with Shaw or Gill

Kohli has failed at number 4 everytime in the last 5 years (we are talking ODIs).

 

Rahul is not the problem, Kohli's friendship with Dhawan and his pathetic team selection is the problem. Anyone who is a threat to Dhawan or any of his groupies will not get a run, will never be allowed to settle in the team and will have to adjust. Why doesn't Kohli ask Dhawan to bat at 3?

Especially when Rahul and Rohit has such splendid opening partnership last year.

Because the captain fool preferred to play almost the full strength team every match instead of giving a proper run to youngsters who could have benefitted (same way Kohli benefited early in his career when Sachin, Sehwag, Gambhir would all rest from such matches)

When there is a youngster of note, he should be given chance , You are right Kohli is  a big fool for giving a guy Rahul not only chances but giving his place in the batting order.A guy like Rahul should be nowhere near this odi team.

Kohli is such a chutiya writes letter to bcci against younger ones like Shaw and pant for attitude issue. Not a single young potential LL flourish under him and moreover this guy himself is so ego maniac and buddy backer he can only bully young and weaker once.

These guys have successfully managed to convert Kuldeep into a defensive bowler, a breed Kohli and Shastri love the most.

credit to Thala for injecting defensive virus into our ODI bowling set up. I don't think Kohli prefers defensive bowlers per se, he gets rattled (and shows it) when an attacking bowler gets some punishment.

exactly ,only dhawan ,dhoni ,kohli and rohit should play. team india should have a no youngster below 28 policy in place:dance:

Another big drawback is Jadeja. Either play him at 6  because he needs time to settle in and rely on his bowling depending on the  conditions.Or do not play him at all. In ODIs, he is neither the pinch hitter nor the specialist bowler this team needs
