Virat Kohli's platform-building/acceleration/explode method

[Ankit_sharma03]

 

[zen]

A stats padding batting model that works mostly in 150-170 games: 

 

First 9 balls, 9 runs (understandable) 

Next 10 balls, 11 runs (advantage other team)

Next 10 balls, 13 runs (advantage other team, many lower order batsmen achieve this SR in first 10 balls)

Next 10 balls, 16 runs (almost 29 balls gone to play at 150+ SR)

Last 10 balls, 21 runs (You could expect someone to play at this SR after playing so many balls or get out)

 

Overall, 70 off 49 balls in best case scenario, SR 142 (49 balls taken to achieve a SR of 142; this also means only 71 balls for the rest of the team) … If there is a choice, better to spread those 49 balls b/w two players, who can hit a higher SR earlier 

Aus can play S Smith regularly (who can be consistent too if there is no SR pressure), Eng can play Root and Malan together, etc, to play this kind of cricket, but they don’t.

He was even better than now. He is doing okay now. Better than others. But still not as good as himself few years back.

Md Yousuf used to play like this too a long time ago in ODIs … Get to his 50 first, then look to play shots

When we have moronic Pandya batting at 100 SR and Karthik at 63 SR. , Kohli is million times upgrade over a bozos like them.  They need to find a replacement for Pandya and Karthik before they have to worry about Kohli.

yet he ended up playing the best innings of his life in this format which is far difficult coming back from a slump 

 

not only he ended up turning his worst year to near his best one

Please stop watching cricket, you are embarrassing yourselves. 

 

Kohli has won two MOTM in this world cup and two MOTT in t20 wcs. 

 

You were kissing His feet the day he kicked Pakistan, now that your do kaudi ka Pandya has failed to show anything you come back with your idiotic propaganda. 

 

As for Root and Smith, go check their str rates and avgs before posting. 

 

 

Also remember, you wanted Hooda in place of Kohli .

 

This is a desperate attempt to make yourself look better.

Lol you have an agenda clearly. If Kohli wanted to play for his 50 he would get one every game like Zimbabar.

 

[zen]

I took the trouble to see Kohli's innings in the group games:

 

 

Runs	Mins	BF	4s	6s	SR	Pos	Dismissal	Inns		Opposition	Ground	Start Date
82*	98	53	6	4	154.71	3	not out	2		v Pakistan	Melbourne	23 Oct 2022
62*	79	44	3	2	140.90	3	not out	1		v Netherlands	Sydney	27 Oct 2022
12	13	11	2	0	109.09	3	caught	1		v South Africa	Perth	30 Oct 2022
64*	84	44	8	1	145.45	3	not out	1		v Bangladesh	Adelaide	2 Nov 2022
26	36	25	2	0	104.00	3	caught	1		v Zimbabwe	Melbourne	6 Nov 2022

 

 

Only done well against Asian teams and an associate  ... 12 off 13 v SA can be ignored as there is still time for other batsmen ... Wasted 25 balls v Zim, where Ind had to rely on an exceptional p'ship later on driven by SKY 

 

Unless ppl want to turn India to (the usually laughable) RCB, need to move away from such an approach!

I have a dislike for stats padders in general (there can be an exception here and there) who eventually line up to play in the top 3 

 

In T20s, ppl don't play for 50s but like 20-30s (the point is that this kind build up is more ODI like. MoYo had a terrific few years with the bat in ODIs iirc) ... I don't care about Babar, he can stats pad as much as he likes for Pak. Kohli can do all that for RCB and get the orange cap (I am more concerned with the cup not the cap).

Only one non-Asian non-associate team where all batsmen failed at Perth! Lol!

"Only done well against Asian teams"

 

Astounding analysis. Idiot Kohli, should have scored 82 vs Zimbabwe instead of Pak.

Criminally wasted balls against Zim (if he had got out by playing less than 10 balls, a different matter) 

 

Good knock against Pak (played with Ind having lost early wkts so a different set of circumstances). Never said it is a bad knock or he should not have scored runs there.

Biased towards the trends, how cricket is shaped and becomes competitive, not remaining in 2014-2016 cricket. This is 2022. 

[Majestic]

One thing I really like about Virat Kohli is his ability to close down games. I didn't expected him to be able to win India the match vs Pakistan on his own when the required run rate was 16 with 3 overs to go but he did it inspite of Pandya and DK making a mess in final overs.

 

That to me is very special. If it was someone else, we were losing that game. In the 2016 WT20 vs Australia, similar case happened. The required rate was creeping up and Kohli was able to hit gears at right time and finish the game for us.

[Majestic]

2016 vs Australia - 39 needed of 18 balls. Kohli scored most of those runs on his own and finished the game in 13 balls. Kohli scored 32 of 11 balls in that.

 

2022 vs Pakistan - 48 needed of 18 balls, Kohli again scored most of those runs on his own and finished the game in final ball inspite of couple of hiccups at other end. Kohli scored 36 of 11 balls. And 6 runs were of wide and byes.

Kohli  started getting dirty runs , mixed with some excellent play by play awareness ..  a good ipl is what he needs now ..

So he can't play one bad knock. I mean he still scored in 3 out of 5 innings, in an unpredictable format.

Whole team knows the approach. That's why SKY and Rohit are trying to hit it out. Nothing selfish about it.

 

Hilarious comparisons. Smith and Root are not even comparable to Williamson. Their s.r is under 130. They can't hit sixes at will in last overs.
