"This is just another Test match. All these things (WTC final) look good from the outside. One game can't become a do-or-die game. It's a great moment but cricket goes on just like life goes on."

 

 

Is this an attempt to take off pressure ? Or an early excuse for not winning an ICC tournament for 8 years ?

Excuses coming out so early?

[Lord]

if we win same guy will call it one of the biggest wins of his career

[Texan]

It sounds like he is already throwing in the towel. Disappointed to see such a negative outlook from the captain. 

[express bowling]

We need a captain who values knock out matches of ICC tournaments.

Lol. Loli has become so fuddi after marriage.

What a moron  Bonafide choker saala

[cowboysfan]

oh nimaggi,what a dumb thing to say.

[Texan]

Kohli, you are wrong. One game does define a team and even more than the team, it defines and shapes a Captain's career. Just ask Kapil Dev and Dhoni. 

[Vk1]

is he scared of NZ?

[rangeelaraja]

Even 50 World Cup final is one off match - and the better team almost always raises its standards on game day. 
 

Quite frankly Kohli’s attitude does not inspire much confidence.

 

Lack of strong desire and confidence coming out undoubtedly.

2 hours ago, Lord said:

if we win same guy will call it one of the biggest wins of his career

And will say how his career, captaincy was on the line

 

Even Sharabi will say my job was on the line,Ganguly held my chaddi with a line

Yeh toh Match ke Pehle hi Hathiyar Daal Raha hai....Ch$duBhagat 

[maniac]

Kohli trying to anti-jinx. Good boy

[Jay]

Chutiya salah. It doesn't mean much but kohli is a biaatch. Can't stand this guy. Sack him already. Screw the advert deals. No one likes him. I would be surprised if this man still has fans. 

[Number]

If you have to give such statements to calm down your and teammates anxiety then one can imagine the team lacks a positive mindset. You are giving your opponent a clear advantage even before the toss.

[Khota]

I hate his body language.

[beetle]

One game played over 5 days is a very good reflection on how good or bad a team is Kohli!!!

 

 

[Trichromatic]

Never heard any other teams talking like this in any final.

 

1 game matters a lot, it shows whether you are able to step up, when it's do or die situation, when it's must win.

 

If you're not able to win the game, then it shows you're good in non-pressure situation, but can't rise to ocassion when needed most.

 

No wonder he doesn't have very good record in KOs.

[Norman]

And we wonder why this twat chokes in big games...
