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.

sage Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 48.49 now. We can write off that he will probably ever end with a 50+ average now
gakgupta Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 He is getting back to form now.... I am expecting atleast 1 or 2 half centuries in this series cricspirit, sarchasm, sage and 1 other 4

Serpico Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 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 Texan and Vijy 2

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 Under_Score 1

Stan AF Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 48.12 If he continues playing for one more year he will regress to 45. sage and Vijy 2

sage Posted March 2, 2023 Author Posted March 2, 2023 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, deepdynamo and Vijy 1 1 1
sage Posted March 2, 2023 Author Posted March 2, 2023 Virat Kohli has only three 50+ scores in the last 30 innings in Test Format
HouMac Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 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. Vijy and Texan 2

wanted_desi Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 This man ruined his own legacy. There is no one in his life to show him mirror. I mean how there could be: He is kind of the guy who wants everyone to call him King. He will be below 45 by the time he retires. Vijy 1
kosingh Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 He doesn't look bad when he's batting. Just can't concentrate for more than 20-30 minutes any more. HouMac 1
Frustrated Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 By the time he retires, his average would hv dropped down to 40 or maybe lesser. But that won't bother him one bit. He looks physically fit. (Unlike Fatman). Therefore, ad agencies will continue to shoot with him irrespective of Team Ind' performance. His PR team on SM is one of the strongest (and equally shameless). nevada 1
