But they don't have balls or even brains. Then they can fukkk right off. Bhaad main jaye Indian Cricket. Kal waise bhi izzat lut jayegi Dravid sena ki. Link to comment

Nikola Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Virat used to average less than 50 before SL tour of india in 2017 (Nov/Dec) & That series helped him to get his average over 50. After that he had great tour in SA & England (2018) & Ok-Ok tour in Australia (2018) and since then he is on decline. His average since England series 2018 is 35.76 and he has played 53 innings now. Memorable performance 254* against SA at home and 136 against Bangladesh (his last century in this format) so since 2018 England tour he hasn't had any great series by his standards and similar is case with Pujara but he can say he has had impactful knocks in BGT 2020/21. nevada, cricspirit and sarchasm 3 Link to comment

Not saying currently it is hunger issue but looks to be technical and he hasn't done anything great since that series. Since end of 2019 he has gone down even more. Link to comment

sage Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 48.49 now. We can write off that he will probably ever end with a 50+ average now Link to comment
gakgupta Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 He is getting back to form now.... I am expecting atleast 1 or 2 half centuries in this series sage, cricspirit, sarchasm and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Serpico Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Real question is can he keep it above 45 by the time he retires? All those smith vs kohli discussions will look hilarious and ridiculous in future with 15 run difference between their averages Vijy and Texan 2 Link to comment

Till he is pulling the big bucks and getting selected he has no shame. This is the Bollywood influence. Only in India he would find a place in the playing XI Link to comment

I will be surprised if makes another 30+ in this series On the contrary, I'd be surprised if he does not hit a 50 or even a 100 in the next two tests. The joke here is that this would be interpreted as Kohli coming back into form. Edited February 24 by sarchasm Link to comment

sage Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Virat Kohli since his last test century against Bangladesh in Nov 2019: Matches- 23 Innings- 41 Runs- 1028 Average- 25.70 Strike Rate- 43.01 50s- 6 Ducks- 4 100s- 0 Average gone from 54.5 to 48.1 sarcastic, Vijy and deepdynamo 1 1 1 Link to comment
sage Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Virat Kohli has only three 50+ scores in the last 30 innings in Test Format Link to comment
HouMac Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Based on how he was looking early in the series, I really thought he would finally come clean with a big one. Well, we are down 3 tests now and he still can't get past the 20's. Every inning follows the same script - starts off looking assured and aggressive, but gets bogged down soon enough or has a brain fart (like yesterday). Just not good enough, bottom line. Limited range of strokes and limited concentration levels. Any other player in his position would have been dropped ages ago. Texan and Vijy 2 Link to comment
