Nobody is scared , they know Kohli is still the best bet in pressure matches for India unlike some agenda driven fans they know T20 is not IPL and players won't be facing lolipops bowlers.

 

Even during his worst years he still had to carry the team to semifinals.

not scared of fans but definitely scared of bcci which vetoes commentators instead of broadcaster. Bhogle lost his job for criticizing team under Dhoni and now is a certified bootlicker

it is actually quite noticeable and frankly nauseating how sycophantic some of the commentary out of India has become. Even intelligent guys like Shastri have turned into blatant sycophants - hearing him go on and on praising Jay Shah given half a chance, Neeta "bhabhi" etc. Bhogle is not so blatant but very reluctant to offer any criticism of the home side, board or the famous players. The others are C grade commentators anyway but their commentary seems to involve screaming like cheerleaders rather than balanced commentators. I have to watch all Indian and IPL games on mute these days.

RCB need to send Green to open instead of Kohli. Green is more explosive in the early overs. If Kohli is supposedly "so good", he should be able to bat in middle overs.

Kohli is the greediest person to play for India . His personal milestones chasing has led us to 10 years of zero trophies . 
 

he just wants to play World Cup . Best way is orange cap ( which is useless in t20 - give a red cap rather to mvp of tournament ) as stupid Indians will say take him . 
 

this same attitude gonna not allow us to win any tournament . Yashashwi , sharma and many other explosive openers available .

Kohli should just  play the way he played last match, either he score some quick runs(will be good for the team) or he will be out soon and sab ko milega chance.

I think he will do that going forward.

Seriously doubt it but hope so in the interest of Indian cricket as there is 0% chance of him getting dropped.

2023 World Cup. He did fine in league and knock out semi final. As repeatedly pointed by Sunil gavaskar, had rohit not thrown away his wicket in final, result would have been different. Kohli was batting 90 strike rate with a half century in final. The dirty black spil pitch to lay a trap for Australia undone india rather than kohli or any particular individual. Pitch doctoring gone wrong. 

 

it was a collective team effort when India won under dhoni. To be fair to kohli, he scored in all knock outs in t20 world cups thus far barring debacle of 2021/2022.

if every one goes bang bang, we can have repeat of 31/4 like t20 epic match against Pakistan. Let's see how all the teams play in 2024 t20 worldcup.

He pretends like he is the only batsman 

 

if u are good enough not to get out , and not good enough to raise ur strike rate to over 200 , u will make the team loose matches and ur middle order will never get a chance to showcase its skill . 
 

Only a blind person will ask a question like is he the only batsman in the team . 
a smart person will ask - what happens when kohli stays on crease and plays at least 50 balls - answer is we are 20 runs subpar at best . 
 

West Indies showed us in 2016 in mumbai . Stop running for singles and hit sixes .. as many as possible . Don’t hit one six or four and scamper for a single.  Hit two if not three . 
he does not want to change. And his teams don’t force him . Net result - as a captain we never won any odi trophy under him . Lower middle order was never well developed . 
 

now u have rinku , dube , jeetendra , sky and few more who go all out from ball 10 . That’s t20 for u . He is a curse which keeps on giving 

t20 worldcup semis  score card. You are blaming kohli???? seriously dude???? rohit Sharma could have scored 50 off 31. 20 runs short here. ajinkya rehang messed up. another 20 runs short here. what should have been 230 plus ended up 190. Despite this, West Indies should have lost had ashwin not no-balled twice in the match. Kohl's strike rate is 190 here. It's his game of 11 boundaries , not every one needs to be six hitter. 

 

India  (20 ovs maximum)

BATTING		R	B	M	4s	6s	SR
Rohit Sharma	lbw b Badree	43	31	29	3	3	138.70
Ajinkya Rahane	c Bravo b Russell	40	35	68	2	0	114.28

They have to look at the larger picture. It is not liike we beat Pakistan for the first time. We have thrashed them enough times in world events. Time to beat the New zealanders/Australiians/England in the knock outs.

2022 t20 it was a close game against Bangladesh.Had we lost against PAK, we would not have qualified to knock outs. Similar to IPL play offs, reaching knock outs is no mean achievement. Lets wait for  2024 t20 World Cup

everybody needs to be a six hitter. 
 

It’s precisely why kohli shouldn’t be in t20 . He can’t hit sixes . No 5 th gear. Don’t blame bowlers in t20 . It’s about outbatting opppsite teams . Kohli always plays safe ground shots. That will always allow risk takers to win over you . In odi , he is the best as risk takers can’t last for 30 overs.  Hence I say kohli is perfect odi batsman . 
 

we won our last t20 when yuvi was there. No co incidence that yuvi , sharms , Dhoni were our main six hitters. Even Ithaca had a good power game . 

 

watch sharma bat today vs Delhi capitals .Already 5 sixes  for his 30 . Kohli will never be able to play like that . 

 

jaiswal , sharma abhishek , rohit , rinku , sky , kishan / rahul / pant pandya axar / jadeja bishnoi kuldeep bum Mayank is a match winning  team in all circumstances .

Correct . That’s how loosing mentality think . Everybody has to take risks in t20 . U will reach 300 if risks come off . Usually in finals , we have made subpar scores cos of this afraid mentality - hence u fill ur team with six hitters . Modern t20 has no role for accumulators .
 

to cover for such situations where u are 30/4 , u must have no 7 and no 8 as strong batting allrounders . Pandya and jadeja / axar have an invaluable role there.

Did i miss something. When did we go bang bang in that T20 epic match lol They were literally wetting their pants being afraid of touching the ball. Onlly time we went bang bang was 19th over and 12th over i think, Bit of 20th over.

So what? So what if we lose against Ireland with youngsters? We have won NOTHING for SEVENTEEN years with the stat padding chokers

 

I would rather lose with youngsters than go with the same stat padding cowards

 

I love when the senior cult fans threaten that we would lose with youngsters. We have been losing for SEVENTEEN years now with the same stat padders.

 

You can keep worshipping your favorite players but most of us would rather lose with youngsters not having choker mentality.

Dude why lie? We were 31/4 because we were playing like scared cowards. We went bang bang in Asia cup and finished the same bowlers. If we had want bang bang we would not have been 31 for 4. 

 

And even if we are 31/4 so what? We have won NOTHING in T20 for SEVENTEEN years now. I would rather attack and lose even if are 31/4 than paly the same scared, choker, stat padding way we have been playing for SEVENTEEN years.

Jadeja and Axar... Jadeja who can't crack a SR of 130 and can't even put full-tosses away. As for Axar, he's a glorified tailebder at intl level

These are the best all rounders we have . U don’t have a Jacques Kallis in India . You have to learn to make maximum out of them .

They are harmful  if not helpful.  You might as well go with guys like ABhishek, Parag who do bowl for their domestic side. Bowling wise there is not a whole lot of difference. But batting wise they provide massive flexibility.

In that case let likes of Abhishek, Parag or someone else roll their arm over. If Maxwell, Head, Chapman, Markram, Root etc. can bowl, I'm sure we can get similar productivity out of Abhisheks and Parags. Likes of Jadeja and Axar give you an allusion of being all-rounders but they're not. If they're an all-rounder, then Cummins and Starc should be deemed as all-rounders as well andI'll rate them higher than Jadeja and Axar.
