Gollum Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Kohli's legacy got a big hit because of his poor form the last 3 years. Now he seems to have regained it somewhat, bad timing. This Eng bowling attack is there for the taking. SRT100 1 Link to comment

Frustrated Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 To most of our seniors, the cricket team is like a guest house. They can travel IN and OUT as per their wish/availability throughout the year. nevada 1 Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So much for a prestige series. Old Man Kohli already decided he would rather save himself for IPL. Recall for Pujara and Rahane incoming? nevada 1 Link to comment
