Kohli’s barren run

[SachDan]

Virat Kohli’s contribution in the last five years when the team total was 400 or less. Stats clearly shows that this has to be the longest rope ever extended to a test batsman.

Yeah now we need you to go away for a decade or so

Kohli is only good for 300/2 situations when you don't really need a batsman. Just like most of his career, he's the real king of soft and impactless runs. Couldn't do much in knockout matches when it mattered, and hasn't helped team win an away Test throughout his career.

 

You could've replaced Kohli with any domestic batsman over the last decade and the team results would've remained the same.

I can make you go away though

Why are you calling this a run, this is an Ultramarathon

5 years is not a run its reality. Old man Kohli should have retired at least 2 years ago.

Has 2 last hurrahs I feel. One in tests and one probably in Champions Trophy.

He will cost us these two as well. Won't make a difference here and will drag us down in CT as usual.

 

Unfortunately most of our selectors are like you - stuck in the past waiting for some "hurrahs" instead of thinking ahead and making changes 

 

Meanwhile we've frittered someone like Bumrah's career. Pity we didn't have someone like Travis Head else Bumrah and Shami would've had ICC tourney wins just like his Aussie counterparts. Difference was they had Head who showed up, and we had Kohli and Rohit.

Kohli legacy is going down day by day.

His legacy is king of soft and impactless runs. He's the true undisputed kink of useless bi-laterals who shat his pants in ICC tourneys.

 

He's anti-Travis Head in the sense he never shows up in must win matches or make a difference when it matters unlike Head.

 

You could replace Kohli with any domestic journeyman over the last decade and Indian team's results wouldn't change for the worse. In all likelihood the replacement might actually play a substantial innings in a must win or ICC knockout.

Is it true he took a flight to London today and will be back one day before the next test?

Doesn't matter. It's not as if he would've made a difference had he stayed in Aus. When it matters he's gonna get out for a sub-20 score.

The sad part is everybody knows , nobody talks on air and life goes on . 
 

sharma too has now entered kohli category now . 
 

Shame that in a team of bumrah , pant , yash with exciting al rounders like reddy and sundar , we didn’t win the test championship once. 
 

I am still hopeful that the last 3 tests might be won if we get Shami back or reddy plays a blinder . But the scamful nature of selection is evident . 
 

I had clearly mentioned in my post that the 100 scored by kohli was based upon jaiswal and rahul exceptional partnership . The tired bowlers were there for the taking and reddy massacred them and kohli milked his way to ensuring we see his ugly head again for many more loosing causes .

I feel pity for Indian cricket who has been fielding 10 players for past 5 years or so and 9 players since Sharma took over test captaincy. Sharma & Kohli are zombies who are there but not there. It's  a miracle that we won so many matches, literally with 2 passengers in the team.

This sort of issues have been there for a long long time...recently pujara and rahane..earlier Sachin Ganguly Dravid etc...dhoni in odis...it's not something new for Rohit or Kohli...star performers get a longer rope..it's not unique to these two...among them I would like to see Rohit jettisoned first..he is unfit and has no defence or technique...Kohli is fitter and he just needs to stop fishing outside off..chuck his ego and in tests he can defend against left arm spin

No, I think time has run out @maniac @Lord @Cricketics
Time for Rohit and Kohli to retire or be retired by selectors in Test Cricket. Only ODI cricket they should play and Rohit should retire from ODI with CT.
