Most likely get out to some innocuous spinner on some innocuous ball and then make a face as though it was bowled by Murali/Warne on a raging turner. Lol now he is struggling vs bouncer too. Now people will exploit this weakness as well. He used to be real good vs bouncer which is why he is rated highly in his prime. But he is losing reflex. Atleast come clean and say you are not your stated age. He has be 36 37 ish. This kind of dramatic drop from grace is never heard of amongst top players. Like literally aged over night after he turned 30. Vijy 1 Link to comment

SRT100 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Kohli's main weakness at the moment is bowling, thats any form of bowling. vvvslaxman, South_Paw and Cricspin 2 1 Link to comment
Throwaib_Chuckter Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) The pandemic took its toll on him in a different way. He was famous for pursuing stuff(runs/lady love etc;)with a passion. I feel he has diverted his passion towards his business interests, nothing wrong with that. Given that shelf lives of cricketers are numbered. However, that has impacted his drive and desire to push the boundaries or apply himself as hard on-field. We have seen flashes, but nothing compared to the doggedness that was on display not too long ago; which brought joy to so many. I'd be glad if he would prove all the naysayers wrong. Dilli se hu....... On a realistic note; based on his recent performances, I feel skeptical. Chuckte Raho TC Edited March 9, 2022 by Throwaib_Chuckter ShoonyaSifar 1 Link to comment

Sure maybe a year or two but not in the advent of social media. Surely there would be school class mates of his that would know definitively. I agree he looks older. Vijy 1 Link to comment

In terms of a caste system in cricket in India, there is absolutely no way he would play domestic Ranji Trophy games. Its beneath him. If he was told to do it, he would retire. For him its akin to a master being a servant. Do you know the last Ranji trophy game he played? In Australia all the cricketers play domestic. vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment

The only question is whether he will be able to get a 100 against them Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I don't want him to fail. I want him to turn it around. But i don't see how he would turn it around. It will be a miracle if he turns it around. Having a hump in career is not new for even the best of the best. Many greats managed to come back. Kohli is yet to prove that. Link to comment
Vijy Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 yet one more failure today, although finally we got a devastating ball that he couldn't do much about. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Meanwhile, Joe Root is continuing his great form from last year. Another 100 now to his name. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Joe root has simply shut the gap between him and (Kohli/Smith) in terms of 100s in the last 15 months or so. Remember he used to trail by 9/10 100s and now the gap is just 3. Link to comment

Remember he used to trail by 9/10 100s and now the gap is just 3. Root is a predominantly backfoot player. Kohli is predominantly a frontfoot player. Frontfoot plonkers lose the form faster. Kohli never developed a backfoot game. He just loved standing outside the crease and killed the length. With reflexes waning that strategy is not as helpful as it was. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 the guy has no shame,he was the captain for so long but he still wants to play when he knows he is in permanent decline. SRT100 1 Link to comment
