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. 

[kosingh]

He doesn't look bad when he's batting. Just can't concentrate for more than 20-30 minutes any more.

 

[Frustrated]

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).

these two usually go together for the king cringeohli

Kohli Fans are just weird:  There is a picture running on SM where he is talking about going back to domestic cricket and making way back to the team making it look like he is talking about currently. When it is clear that he stated that in RCB podcast talking about way back in 2012.

Let him average 50 for a series first.

When the broadcasters show stats when a batsman comes to the crease, they should only show stats for the last 3 years. What is the use of showing career stats and then going gaga over it! Let the commentators talk about what he has done in the last 3 years.

they can't do that - sponsors won't allow it

[sage]

Test average has gone from 48.12 to 48.93

[vvvslaxman]

Sure if he plays every test at this Ahmedabad pitch

[putrevus]

So if Ashwin and Jadeja have benefitted from tailor made spinning wickets then Kohli should be the king.

 

He averages nearly 60 at home on these spinning wickets even after his three year funk. No other Indian batsmen in history is even close to him.

 

No Sachin, no Gavaskar , no Dravd, they are not even close to this guy at home.

In the last 3 years he has no partiality. Opposition, conditions. It doesn't really matter.

 

 

 

 

Little stat

 

In the last 3 year in the matches that involved Kohli.. This includes his 186. 

 

Kohli  22 tests 38 innings 1176 runs 31.78 avge  44.22 strike rate

 

Root    9 tests  17 innings  1105 runs 73.66 avge 59.89 strike rate

 

 Just 71 shy of Kohli in 13 tests less

Yes that again proves how good he has been in India on turning wickets for last decade even after 3 year slump he still has best average for batsman scoring 4000 plus runs .

Did he mention last 3 years? 

Bas kuch bhi likh do aa kar. 

 

Even after the failure in last 3 years he averages similar to Root, what does that tell you about his peak? 

 

[Frustrated]

As of now, Ghujara has got only one supporter left here on icf.   It is no rocket science that coolie (little better batsman) would hv about 2 supporters here.  That shows how much these 2 batsmen hv regressed over the last 3-4 years.  I m glad that most ICFers understand the reality.  Having said that, there are bound to be few exceptions. There is no reason for others to take their opinions and misleading stats seriously.

Update:

 

48.72 average
