Virat kohli never had a big patch of bad form encompassing more than two three series OTOH sachin tendulkar had ATLEAST 10 patches like these. It's just a small dip nothing else . I am sure most posters on this forum are teens. Sent from my RMX1992 using Tapatalk They did! Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Kohli did suffer from bad form throughout NZ tour.. So probably beginning of the end. Don't mind this though. KL Rahul looks ready to take the mantle of India's best batsman in T20 & ODIs. Kohli should focus on Tests & Australia tour. Edited September 25, 2020 by Lone Wolf sergio04 1 Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I dont care about the IPl but i do care about Bangalore.They need to divorce themselves from Kohli next year,he is not a winner like Dhoni.I fear for Padikkal ,every talented guy fails when they play for RCB. Link to comment
New guy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He has seldom performed in the IPL and gives his best in the international matches. I wouldn't judge him based on IPL Link to comment

Kohli will have learnt from Dhoni to keep playing. It took a worldwide pandemic to basically end Dhoni's career. I have NO doubt he would have played in the T20I World Cup in Australia if there was no pandemic. Even Tendulkar played for way too long and played selfishly for his records too. I have no allegiance or bias to anyone. Turning_track and Stan AF 2 Link to comment

Its a big stakes game Maybe cowboysfan merely hinted at Kohli's influence on the cricket scene of bangalore. You know what happened to Kumble and the local boy Rahul Link to comment

Already declined, he milked an extra couple of years in the name of the 2019 WC. After the world cup he selfishly refused to announce retirement for a year, causing unnecessary media drama and putting pressure on the selectors and the new wicket keeper. He should have been given an ultimatum in 2015 itself to retire from all forms of cricket or resume playing test cricket. No player should be allowed to pick easier, more lucrative formats of the game while shunning the less glamorous long format. Players should be either all in or out altogether.

If they truly believe in that, they should skip IPL. Showing up to play just in name only for the money is not cool. I have tremendous respect for guys like Warner, Bairstow, Butler etc who do justice to their salaries and give their best in IPL even though it is just club cricket. Link to comment

Indian cricket lacks professionalism in that context. World Cup winning captain Steve Waugh was sidelined for Andrew Symonds in 2003 WC when Steve was desperate to have one last attempt at ODI cricket. This is called ruthlessness which leads to domination. Indian cricket can only dream of such domination & will always remain middling due to ingrained culture. nevada and sorak 2 Link to comment

Meh, ponting hung on for 6 extra year despite not even averaging around 40 in any and averaging bellow/around 30 in most of those years Link to comment

He didn't get to continue & play world cup under the garb of experience. Later that year he retired from Test cricket as well. All those stats that you stated didn't matter as he was the best Australian batsman at that time and captain of a young Aus team post the departure of their greats. Next time give it a thought before posting nonsense. Link to comment

The main issue of him continuing post Ashes defeat in 2010 was the lack of quality batsman in Australia setup. Aus selectors had no choice but to continue with him for some time. Link to comment

Aussies take tests most seriously and no, he was nowhere near the best in any format On the other hand we have players like kohli and rohit who swear playing alongside sachin is what helped them the most and helped them settle down in international cricket As i have said before, indians suffer from a massive inferiority complex when it comes to white skin. So sachin over staying for one and half years after averaging 68 and 78 and 47 in 3 years before that is a big deal but ponting staying for 6 years despite never touching 50 in a year and averaging 30s in 4 out of 6 years is ok Edited September 26, 2020 by New guy GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

In early 2007 he looked like he would easily do it but Tendulkar's form revival and his own decline prevented that from happening. Link to comment
