He should rather play in the emerging T20 asia cup.  Will form a nice destructive pair with T Varma, his unofficial younger brother.

I want him to play for Karnataka in this year’s Ranji Trophy. Not going to happen.

Almost all players have displayed given us some memories with atleast one high pressure innings

 

Kohli 82 vs Aus/Pakistan

Rohit 30(17)  in 2007 final then 92 vs Australia then that 160 in the test on a difficult wicket

Pant - no explanation needed

DK - Nidahas

Shreyas Iyer - semi final/Mirpur test

 

 

Kela apart from that bengaluru test in 2017 has nothing to show for.  You can't call anything heroic, stand out.  His ODI world cup strike rate is 75 or something against top sides.  Some people are like that by nature. Can't change suddenly. TImid mentality.

You are biased. 2017 was his only good series where he scored 5 50s in a row apart from the Bengaluru test. That’s his only swan song

Although I want KL to be dropped but that innings vs Australia in world cup 23 group stage was a quality knock under pressure.

BGT starts next month.  Here are Kela's stats in Aus:  Innings: 10, Avg: 18, Total runs scored: 187, Highest score: 101.

if LSG were offering him 14 crs why he decided to move on?? Does he think he'll get a better deal in auction

He had an altercation with LSG owner last IPL when Goenka went berserk on him.  Everyone saw that on live tv. Any player with dignity would have done the same.

 

Here if people forgot.

I doubt they actually offered it. Their coach Justin langer pretty much said that everytime KL scored runs the team lost (due to his sr). This Johns guy is in touch with PR agents, always posts these damage control infos

LSG is better off investing on someone like Jurel or Sudarshan....no need of spending 14 CR on a perennial failure.

That doesn't matter. He has EGGSPERIENCE.

 

I'd rather have Sarfaraz play and fail then try this leech

He deserved that…. Hope Gambhir gives him same medicine. This fraud needs to be exposed at each level.

Because Goenka scolded him

KLR hits back at naysayers, fair performance in both innings 

[Majestic]

For performing overseas as opener in places like England, South Africa and Australia, he deserves some brownie points. I would rate him 3-4 higher than his actual average.

its one innings per series usually though. Needs to be consistent.

 

Bit of a wasted talent tbh

His form took a massive dip when BRat preferred thigh slapper over him, when KL was in form, starting 2018 SA tour! Now the away tours were tough as well but when you don't have assurance of a spot you definitely do not do that well.
