Virat Kohli - When will the torture end?


Recommended Posts

Last 25 odd matches of Tendulkar & Kohli. Cumulative averages. Tendulkar over a period of went from 56.54  to 53.78. Kohli went from 52.74 to 47.83.  3 points vs 5 points. Even facotring in that it will take a lot for Tendulkar to lose point given the number of the matches he had played he did the right thing which was quitting unlike Kohli who should have been dropped 2 years back

I know the internet is out for Kohli s blood right now but if you carefully process the events of Wankhede , you will have nothing but respect for Kohli. Matt Henry Grew up in NZ which is a clean country with pure environment and thus he has fully functioning lungs. Kohli grew up in Delhi and Delhi pollution has already damaged his lungs . The ball was hit at 19.9 m/s and Henry was only 30m away from ball. It's scientifically impossible for Kohli to complete the run. But still he challenged Henry for the run because that's what he has always done. Challenge the best and come out at top. Only today the selfish nature of Bombay lobby ground deserted him and he was left alone fighting against NZ, BOMBAY LOBBY & THIRD UMPIRE . That run out will sting but the unselfish nature Kohli showed for his team today has strengthened my support for him and he has only come out bigger in today's battle despite losing his wicket

There is no comparison in test cricket, I don’t even know whats the point of taking Tendus name, he is amongst the top 5 batters of test cricket, Kohli is not even top 30

I am talking about retirement call. Tendulkar quit the Test after that slump. Kohli has bigger slump. So onus is on BCCI to have a discussion with him. Just because he quit T20 doesn't mean he has the right to play Tests until he retires.

SRT's slump only lasted about a year, people bring on Dravid's last tour to Eng as a red herring but he was sucking balls (relatively speaking) for 3 years before that - SRT was the second/third best batter in Eng as well as Oz. His real decline only started post Nz 2012 tour & even then he avg above 30 in the last year or so -

Even if you account for tough pitches/DRS it should not account for more than 5+ run difference in their batting!

Dravid and Laxman also won us the series in the Caribbean before England tour.
