Virat Kohli

[King6]

His t20 wc performance was fluke? or he bored with these bilateral odis after sacked from captaincy?.. 

[jalebi_bhai]

Like in t20s, he's going to work his way back into rhythm. We will have to tolerate the "process". He's anyways the least of our issues.

T20 world cup was in Australia. Kohli always bats well on those firm and truer surfaces.

He just doesn't care anymore. Even as a past player doesn't really contribute with encouragement. He just stands in corner secretly enjoying lol He plays some stupid shots and acts disappointed. Little discussed topic is his 2022 run. His 2022 ODI average is 18 at a strike rate of 73 in 10 innings.

Where was Asia cup? Kohli is least of Indian worries.I still feel batting is not India's problem Bowling has been bad in white ball cricket since 2016.When was the last time India had a good bowling attack in white ball cricket.2013 CT comes to mind.

Wow.. so both him ans Dhawan are sucking at ODIs this year and here we are playing them together.

[The Realist]

Past It

No motivation

Declining skills

 

Yet still a regular.

That goes without saying. His whole body language is like "let us get this over with" . WHy does he even play with that mindset? He is free to skip bangladesh tour

they are at a stage where they don't want someone else to take their place, succeed and become a threat.. instead play as much as you can.. Gabbar doing that for so many years now

Kohli, along w/ Rohit, lost India the SF with the snail batting. He did have a great knock against Pak but SF carries more weightage so that brings his last T20WC to a negative overall (considering performances versus major teams Pak, SA, & Eng (SF)). 

 

These "senior" guys will play an inning here and there but could hurt India when it matters

The seniors guys will atleast win some matches, guys like Pandya stink. When they win one match on their own with either bat or ball in any ICC match we can talk about them.

Even pandya was scored 20 runs in first 20 balls later he accelerated.. Kohli can accelerate better than pandu.. Kl rahul biggest culprit in that wc

[singhvivek141]

He is playing cricket consistenly for last 14-15 years, boredom will start to kick in as he's close to mid 30's now.
There was no need to play him, Rohit, KL and Dhawan just after the T20 WC, TM/BCCI should have let them enjoy their life till IPL.

This time should have been used to try out the likes of Jaiswal, Tripathi, Shaw, Gill, Patidar as much as we could have. Due to this unnecessary talks of "preparing for ODI WC" now they'll play every series and will continue till the ODI WC with mental fatigue and boredom.

He lost his interest. He just used flto be electric. He was not a bad captain way better than all. We atleast were amazingly consistent but just missed trophies. I rather take that than losing to bd
