Why are selectors even requesting him? Just put his name on the team sheet. First time I am hearing, employeer is requesting employee to come to work. Just goes to show how corrupt BCCIs system is

If Hooda /Samson/Iyer have great series against Windies, can Kohli just walk in the playing 11.

Kohli will surely play Asia cup bit if he fails even there, then a call probably will be taken before T20 WC.

Dhoni was told by MSK that he is not part of the selectors plans but he hung around like a leech, hoping to stink up another world cup (20-20) with Shastri supporting him and rubbishing Pant at the same time. One of the most shameful sagas in Indian cricket.

Does Zimbabwe have any left arm pacer ?

[Lone Wolf]

I am expecting Tall Blessing Muzarabani will end his career then..  I don't know about any Zim finger spinner though.

If an employee applies for a leave but employer wants him to still come to work, they would request no

If selectors believe that Kohli needs to display some form (either in domestics or in the Zim series) before being picked for Asia Cup, they can ask Kohli to play against Zim ... If Kohli was in good form, missing a relatively low profile series would not have been a concern for the selectors

Same stuff as what happened in 2016...Dhoni was asked to play in Zimbabwe tour which was just after IPL.

 

Man,can't forget those horrific days of Dhoni defending by experts and fanboys hoping that he will be back in form.. There were more discussion about his Batting position,running b/w the wickets and all that "advice" stuff to spinners to make him relevant. Don't want this to happen again with Kohli.. Hoping best for Kohli but Kohli should not be given choice here.. Anyway this will be waste of a tour... It is clear that Kohli will be back for Asia Cup,so whoever is going to perform for Zimbabwe series,it won't do good for that player anyway..

nope but now they will call up any kid who can bowl left arm... either way it will still trouble our GOAT captain

Mother : beta you  failed math. What is your plan to improve ?

 

Child: i will take  vacation and wont think about math, i am sure once back I'll be next aryabhatta 

 

Mother : Would a mock paper where counting, basic addition and subtraction questions are asked help gain confidence?

 

[Vk1]

It's a good decision.. Kohli will get a good opportunity to score against weak bowlers and who knows he might even get that elusive 100 to get the monkey off his back and get back to form

[diga]

How many of you remember the Greg Chappell - Ganguly saga where Ganguly threw his 100s against Zimbabwe as a proof that he is back to form and it backfired big time?

[Sean Bradley]

If Kohli has any semblance of Shame left, he should retire from Intl Cricket. 

 

This is a big life lesson for everyone, no matter how Big a player you are, if you show arrogance on the field, disrespect your team and the opposition team by mouthing your rubbish at them everytime a wicket falls, law of Karma will slap you so hard that you will never get up. 

 

Only way to get up at this point is to accept your mistake, Learn humility and stay completely focused than ever before.

Dhoni saga was never this bad. Dhoni had already quit tests way back in 2014.

 

In white ball he wasn't as big a liability as Kohli is today. Even in his last years he was still a good wkeeper and provided captaincy inputs. 

 

All Kohli does today is 'sledge' the opposition, that too in an obnoxious manner. 

[nevada]

If he flops in Zimbabwe also, will they finally abandon the "class is permanent" cliche?
