sarcastic Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I will vote 64(34) since this gave the team the initial tempo. This is not to take anything away from 80(52) though. Link to comment
zen Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Rohit Sharma b Stokes 64 34 4 5 188.24 Virat Kohli (c) not out 80 52 7 2 153.85 Suryakumar Yadav c Roy b Rashid 32 17 3 2 188.24 Hardik Pandya not out 39 17 4 2 229.41 I think it is hard to compare the two knocks as the two batsmen played different roles, let's look at the boundary % SDP 35% SKY 29% Rohit 26% Kohli 17% So based on boundary %, Rohit knock was relatively better sergio04, GoldenSun, Clarke and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment

Kohli with his ODI mindset and skillset is killing the team. 8 minutes ago, Moochad said: Credit to Rohit. Played at a terrific SR. Rat was too slow Imagine if Rohit had got out cheaply. Kohli would have been badly exposed with his inability to force the pace. He might talk intent, try all he might, but with his current form and lack of power, he is a square peg trying to fit into a round hole as far as T20 is concerned. raki05, AmazeBallz and Sandeep99 2 1 Link to comment
cricketfan28 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 lol .. who will vote for kohli? Link to comment
dilliboy Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Of course Sharma.. Kohli played the anchor role but without Sharma's platform, we would be nowhere near 200 Link to comment
chewy Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Two grandpas milking their reputations, it was freaking powerplay, even England matched India's powerplay but couldnt match the power innings of SKY and Pandu. Surya and Pandya innings ensured India reached 200 plus nevada, zen and Sgattick10 3 Link to comment

rageaddict Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Kohlis knock was important too. Just look at England's innings, Butler provided them a great start like Rohit did but they couldn't come close to the target set by India because nobody played Kohlis role for them . Had Kohli got dismissed cheaply don't think Iyer, Pandya and Pant would have got India over 200. kohli, Nash, chewy and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Exactly would you risk finishing under 200 to get 240+ ..I would settle for 220+ every time ...butler was out end of 12th over ...England 8 wickets in hand ... yet they couldn’t keep swinging on top with dew factor ... express bowling 1 Link to comment

SinNombre Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Both are good knocks, you dolts. This is what Kohli should be doing in T20s ; ensuring we get 180+ consistently and the other guys hit around him to elevate it to 220+ sometimes. 180 with Bumrah and Bhuvi is a 80%+ winning score. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 kohli cant go at 110-120 s/r for that long . Max 10-15 balls after that he needs to change gear . Link to comment
