vvvslaxman Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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 Link to comment
Master_better Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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 Proud_kohlian.

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. Frustrated and Adamant 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 (edited) 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 - Primary team India Start of match date between 1 Jan 2011 and 31 Dec 2013 Qualifications runs scored greater than or equal to 500 Ordered by batting average (descending) Overall figures Player Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s CA Pujara 2011-2013 15 24 4 1485 206* 74.25 2852 52.06 6 3 0 183 2 R Dravid 2011-2012 15 29 3 1261 146* 48.50 2894 43.57 5 4 0 142 3 V Kohli 2011-2013 22 37 3 1507 119 44.32 3074 49.02 5 8 2 177 6 R Ashwin 2011-2013 19 26 6 788 124 39.40 1248 63.14 2 3 1 91 6 M Vijay 2011-2013 11 19 0 719 167 37.84 1576 45.62 2 2 1 100 6 VVS Laxman 2011-2012 15 29 4 925 176* 37.00 1860 49.73 1 7 2 102 0 SR Tendulkar 2011-2013 24 41 2 1389 146 35.61 2697 51.50 1 9 0 183 7 MS Dhoni 2011-2013 28 46 6 1417 224 35.42 2422 58.50 2 8 5 147 24 G Gambhir 2011-2012 17 30 0 944 93 31.46 2116 44.61 0 7 1 126 1 V Sehwag 2011-2013 18 32 0 916 117 28.62 1108 82.67 1 5 4 133 6 Primary team India Start of match date between 1 Jan 2008 and 31 Dec 2010 Qualifications runs scored greater than or equal to 500 Ordered by batting average (descending) Overall figures Player Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s SR Tendulkar 2008-2010 33 57 7 3166 214 63.32 5624 56.29 13 11 1 366 19 V Sehwag 2008-2010 34 61 3 3515 319 60.60 3848 91.34 10 15 3 488 43 G Gambhir 2008-2010 23 43 3 2385 206 59.62 4512 52.85 8 11 3 278 6 VVS Laxman 2008-2010 32 54 10 2496 200* 56.72 4901 50.92 5 19 3 293 1 R Dravid 2008-2010 33 58 5 2323 191 43.83 5352 43.40 7 10 2 298 4 MS Dhoni 2008-2010 30 44 4 1751 132* 43.77 3179 55.08 3 12 1 173 27 M Vijay 2008-2010 9 14 0 537 139 38.35 1058 50.75 1 2 0 62 3 Yuvraj Singh 2008-2010 13 19 2 633 86 37.23 978 64.72 0 6 2 80 11 SC Ganguly 2008-2008 13 25 3 783 102 35.59 1429 54.79 1 5 4 81 6 Harbhajan Singh 2008-2010 31 45 3 976 115 23.23 1524 64.04 2 6 4 103 20 Even if you account for tough pitches/DRS it should not account for more than 5+ run difference in their batting!
