Has Virat Kohli given all his detractors a big phainty

[sarcastic]

I think he did it to all his detractors, too many to count on ICF.

As they say, a person having class will always find a way to get back to form and hammer the biggest of the sides (currently the number 1 side in the tests).

 

Hatsoff to his resilience and ability to sail through the hard time and get himself a big score...

He needs to do more but this was a good start. 

Hopefully he kills it in the upcoming odis. 

[vvvslaxman]

Yea after 100 phainties to his worshippers lol

[Norman]

One okayish knock on a flat road after sucking **** for three and a half years and suddenly it's a phainty to everyone. 

 

 

This is why these leeches hold on to their spots undeservingly for so long knowing fully well that chewt fans will latch onto one knock whenever it comes.

Yes after 1240 days since he scored his last century...bravo.

[Bigg Brother]

There are no detractors. They are Indian team fans- no some players'. Actually detractors are those leech Kohli fans who keep backing him over upcoming youngsters and go away to their shytehole for their 3 years to come back barking once in a while...

Good perfromance by him to prevent Aus win. He needs to do it more often before his detractors are given a 'phainty'. he has been performing poor for a long time now.

He needs to score in ICC finals if India qualify and help India win that big match.He has stunk for last 23 tests. That is very very long leash he has got from selectors.

 

He needs to use this 100 and get a second innings going for his career otherwise all the time invested on him is a complete waste.

 

He needs to win big matches for India now.

Reminds me of George costanza in fire episode

 

 

[Lord]

he was always good on pattas. This was an ODI like pitch

[sorak]

I did not care much for him post 2019 and his eventual downfall. It was bound to happen.

 

In this match, I wanted him to score a big hundred as he was quite the experienced senior. It was the match where one of the seniors needed to standup instead of relying on the Rohit and lower order.

 

And he has done that, so I am happy for him. He could have accelerated post 170 instead of trying to go for the double hundred. That way we would have had 25 30 more runs on the board. He would have also gained massive respect.

Issue is not with scoring runs, problem is of inconsistency.

You can score a 100 and then just go AWOL for next 3-4 Tests...that will bring back the criticism.
Kohli is averaging in 32 from last 22 tests (including this daddy hunderd of 186 on a comparatively flatter pitch). Which means that almost 20% of his entire test career he has been average in a stretch. 

 

It needs to be seen that if he can continue or become a Rahane (one century and then mediocre returns all throughout the year).

We still haven't won the test and no. 3 years averaging 27. Lot more to do. Only Asian teams would create feather beds for their sooperstar to stat pad.

[cricketfan28]

yes.

[Ravi_Shastri]

What a butt-whooping to all the jabronis here who have never held a bat in their lives.

 

Virat is a massive influence on the team. He is a living legend in the dressing room and an ornament to the game.

 

[Vickydev]

Any food packets being distributed by his fans? Asking for a... Captain

[putrevus]

Kohli's problem is purely technical. It is not the case of him not trying hard or him taking things easy and becoming fat like Sehwag or Rohit.

 

He has been trying hard, even in Bangladesh or in England, SA you clearly could see him trying his level best but he has been getting exposed technically. His lack of back foot strokes and  he literally has no other off side scoring shot other than cover drive against swing bowling and that is recipe for failure every time.

 

I don't know if he can oversome those technical challenges. He is unable to score runs unless bowlers feed him bad balls. even in his innings he had batpad land in leg slip where they had no fielder for some reason.

He is afraid of using feet these days. He used to waltz down every single ball when he started his career against Ajmal. very rarely beaten in flight. Now he is not having the confidence to do.
