SRT100 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 India have the real potential to win the WC here if Kohli misses the tournament. Reducing the tuk tuk batsmen, replace Iyer. Maybe Kohli worried about the Australian quicks in the first game on Sunday? Forever Indian, Chaos, Frustrated and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment
mikeypbadana86 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 who would be your alternative, if kohli is left out ? would you eat you words, if kohli wins us a knock out ? The highest score in 2019 World Cup semis/final in England is around 240 odd. What do you mean by tuk tuk? you expect teams to score 330-350 in semis/finals? Link to comment

Will you eat your words if Kohli gets out and cost us the WC? Or is that why you used this dummy account to hide? Are you happy if Kohli is playing for India in 2027? test fan 1 Link to comment

SRT100 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 In fairness Kohli has improved in SEMI Finals in the WC. He scored 1 off 12 balls in 2015 He scored 1 off 6 balls in 2019. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-1144415/india-vs-new-zealand-1st-semi-final-1144528/full-scorecard test fan 1 Link to comment
SRT100 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 In 2011 WC Semi Kohli scored a sparkling 9 off 21. Yes if Kohli doesnt play for India in the WC, we are a better chance of winning it. test fan 1 Link to comment

Will you eat your words if Kohli gets out and cost us the WC? Or is that why you used this dummy account to hide? Are you happy if Kohli is playing for India in 2027? I am following indian cricket since 1995 ever since I was a 9 year old. ( Kohli's knock out record in t20 world cups is impeccable albiet a different format, he is no mental midget unlike rahul or other players) He scored 35 and built a partnership of 87 with gambhir in 2011 world cup final. His was the highest score (47) in 2013 champions trophy final. 2015 semis -----he failed ( no arguments here) 2019 semis ----- an other knock out failure . A close DRS call which was an umpires call. 2023 ----- post his come back last year including the oct 2022 famous 26 off 8 balls, he became temperamentally relaxed and has very good chance of scoring. The team is already selected for the world cup, we should be behind the team. What cricketing logic do you have to wish for an injury and replace kohli or any one else ? I am not a fan boy of kohli. The selectors/team management has already selected the team for world cup. I think, we should back the team. I do not want kohli to continue any further and retired from all formats in 2023 irrespective of the world cup result. The new age social media kids do not know any history or context except indulgng in bashing of heroes. If scoring in knock outs is any easier, why did the following heroes fail in knock outs? 1992 inzy 60 off 37 in Semi Final . he burst onto the scene and became super star 1996 QF against Ind ( FAIL) 1999 final ( FAIL) 2003 ( FAIL) 2007 ( FAIL) 1996 Jayasuriya quaterfinal 80+ runs against ENG 1996 semifinal against india FAILED 1996 FINAL FAILED 1999 & 2003 ----- FAILED 2007 Final------- sub par Aravinda de silva 1987 ---no impact 1992 --no impact 1996---66 && 104 in semis and final 1999 & 2003- FAIL Yuvraj singh: 2011 QF-50+ Semis : failed final: dhini and gambhir did the work, so cant say failure Inzamam, aravinda de silva, jayasuriya Yuvraj some of the best ODI batters had one great world cup from a sample size of 4 or 5 world cups. Lets wait for 2023 be over. If kohli succeeds, y'all would hail him and a## lick to be proven wrong. If not, the selectors would anyways remove and the youngsters can be groomed.
