I cant believe those numbers.

 

My only defence would be at least Smith and Root repay the team on a consistent basis.

 

the kind of catches Smith and Root drop are not counted for Kohli as he doesnt even go for them mostly.

May be they have broader definition for catch. If they strictly count straightforward chances Kohli will be in a different planet.

How many drops today?

From the article:

Kohli has missed seven catches off spinners at slip, and taken three, since Rahane's last Test in January 2022

Only taking 30% of catches that come his way. And our commentarors and so called experts call him a very good fielder. He is probably the worst slip catcher we have had in our history from the time I started watching cricket. We had good slip fielders like in the past like Azhar, Dravid then Rahane and now we are stuck with Kohli.

he is terrible. his sooperstar status is what gives him a free pass

Funny narration of McCullum’s 300 match. Kohli

Sitter dropped, Arshdeep the unlucky bowler, Zadran escapes.

Can't catch in slips. Can't catch in deep midwciket, Can't catch at point. Where to hide him?

Same with his batting... can't score quickly in PowerPlays and can't score when the field is spread out. The guy's done but continuing to punish Indian fans.

Can't bat, can't catch, doesn't bowl.

But he is called a King. I guess like a king, he doesn't really do anything - sirf kursi pakadke baitha hai.

Azhar wasnt a 'good' slip fielder, he was genuinely great. Very kallis-like: safe, bucket hands and the occasional diving catch, but mostly he had excellent read on how far to stand in the slips. Also an excellent outfielder, he was by far our best fielder till Kaif came around.

Don't say that! There're some fans out here who believe Kohli is the reason we even reach knockouts  The delusion is so strong they don't even get that there're barely 3-4 strong teams, including India, and getting past the likes of SL, WI, Pak, B'desh, Afg etc. is no biggie. As an example, "King" kohli has stunk it up and we'll still reach knockouts.

 

And we all know what happens then - he along with Rohit are gonna be a no show cometh the knockouts. But this time he started off early and has failed even in group stages, which were his bread and butter till now.

Should change the thread title to “ Dropper”?.

 

It’s misleading, he isn’t really a catcher.

[cricketfan28]

Kohli the brand ambassador.
