MK55 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Just now, Serpico said: Why did he deny singles to jadeja, can you explain? What kind of mindset is that? Wanted to get to his hundred and was confident. A little but arrogant I agree but I don’t mind it. I know the game was done. Well almost lol Vijy 1 Link to comment
kubrickian Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 3 minutes ago, MK55 said: Well mathematically yes, the game wasn’t over. But you can’t play with such a timid mindset. Its not being timid. Its just practical. Shami batting at 8 has a batting average of 8. Others are worse than him. They wont even score 10 runs among them against a quality attack. Link to comment
Jamadagni Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 See, it's selfish when are playing tons of balls reach to 100 from 90. Kohli was trying to hit sixes and that too, only after India reached safe position. Selfish innings would have been - trying to take risks when India needed 30 and he was 25 away from hundred. He didn't. He waited until India reached safe position. That was great calculative batting. IndiaWC8311 1 Link to comment

Win is all that matters . Kohli makes 50 or 100 100s . All we care is trophies . Exactly. Wierder things have happened in cricket before. 3 genuine tailenders getting out for a duck is not something unbelievable at all. Atleast equalise the scores before going for the glory shot Link to comment

Bangladesh match was won , today given the non existent lower order was not. The game was done today as well tbf. Jadeja's dead bat and him avoiding singles only happened with single digit runs left on the board Link to comment

Turning down one or two singles to hit a boundary is no big deal. He literally delayed India by at most 5 minutes while tendulkar delayed India by years to get to his 100th hundred. So no comparison Laaloo 1 Link to comment
DeepSpace Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Only Indians seek personal glory over team! Gavaskar did it, Tendu did it so why is Chokohli any different? It is a disease!! Link to comment
rageaddict Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) India with 3 wickets in hand needed 5 runs against Zimbabwe during the 99 WC and still ended up losing that match thanks to Olonga. Yes it happens once in 20 years but still there is a probability of it happening . There were no reliable batters to follow here. Kuldeep, Bumrah, Siraj could get dismissed in no time. Century wasn't more important than the team victory here that the team could afford to have Shami coming out to bat, and it's a shame Kohli didn't even get it the end even after denying singles. I have never seen a batsman in his 90s denying singles to get his century. Usually the other batsman plays dot balls , must be the first instance of this happening ,that too in a WC Match..

Looks like this is all you care about, virat vs tendu. Maybe change your id to virat100 Comparing with another famously self centered batsman will not excuse Virat's own selfishness Link to comment

DesiChap Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Bunch of morons on this thread. We won the match because of him. We would be struggling in the tournament without Kohli. dilliboy and The Hound 2 Link to comment
gakgupta Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I have been following cricket from last 30 years or so and never seen a selfless batsmen like Kohli... All his shots were percentage shots except the last one... Btw.. I am not fan of Kohli Edited October 22, 2023 by gakgupta Link to comment
saneindian Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Selfish and arrogant for hitting a 6 and 4 off Boult when we needed 19 off 24? Comeon @Sooda you have followed cricket long enough to not base such judgments on a delivery or two. Was a masterful innings, let's applaud that. Link to comment
