Never believed Kohli At 4 is the right idea

Also if he really wants to be at 4 then decide for sure dont do this once or twice thing.....settle urself and let other settle

Agree. But the main frustration is that he is trying all this experiments to fit in Dhawan. I would have understood this is to fit in a outstanding future talent like Shaw and Gill.  Is that really worth it given that Dhawan has declining form and fitness and inconsistent compared to 2013-2017.

actually i think KL game is more suited for no.4 then kohli since i think he has that extra gear. But he has no security so he is playing safe for number. 

he has a 100 at 4 in t20 and made runs in ipl to at 4,  made a 100 in WC warm up at 4 .....was doing decent till dhawan got injured in wC

but whoever it is needs a long run , dont knw what iyer has done wrong that his position is changed now. 

KL Rahul is yet to show that "extra gear" in ODIs. He scored runs at No. 4 but like I said he's not a finisher like Kohli. In fact, Kohli is the only finisher we've got right now. Rahul's game is better suited for top of the order while Kohli with his calculative cricket can be the bridge between the top order and the lower middle order and take us to the end.

till the time rahul is under fear of his place i doubt he ll bat like he can

SL t20 series was xample he stopped playing aerial shots which he was playing in WI t20 series

He's batting just fine in T20Is. Not so much in ODIs.

Kohli ki poori kaptaani Rohit Dhawan aur Rahul ko adjust karne mei hi nikal jayegi. If we go by what he said in post match presentation, he is not entirely happy to relinquish that no.3 spot.

Last 7 Odi innings while batting at No.4

9, 4, 3*, 11, 12, 7, 16

 

the guy who thinks gets proven wrong every day

Like the highest run scorer today.

Nah, he's like an attention seeking whore. Hogs up too much game time when batting at #3 in meaningless bilaterals and chokes under pressure in crucial matches. 

 

Normally, #4 is the toughest position to bat in ODIs and if he thinks he is the best batsman, then he should take up that responsibility. Dropping down or moving up one position in batting line-up shouldn't be a problem for any batsman.

All it was gonna take was one bad loss or one failure for KL for normal service to resume.

Yaane ki KL dropped for next game :hmm:

He should have scored a 50,now Kohli will bring in Jadhav instead of Rahul

thats what he was going for a selfish 50 to save his place

but that shudnt happen....a player shud have security of his place then only he ll play for team.

And now he will lose his place on top of losing the match.

On topic if Kohli is not able to deliver at 4,then Rahul should be given a decent run at the spot.

The hope must have been that while Rahul establishes himself at 3,Virat could marshal the middle order which is not a bad strategy,however one can guess that Virat has already gone into panic mode and now will make a short sighted choice of Jadhav instead of Rahul

is and was the best at 3, he is the best batsman in team who shud get max balls. WIth him on crease strike rotation is always good . At 4 someone who has extra gear shud bat. Also teams are figuring out that he doesnt like spin at start and at 4 ull get spin at start  most days. Zampa, Gopal, Adil rashid have trouble him so keep him at 3 coz kohli became kohli at 3

Virat is the best #3.  No need to tinker the position permanently.  This was a mere experimentation to give others the chance to bat in the middle.  

Virat doesn't need to sacrifice his spot for others.
