Kohli has been involved in 14 run outs since 2022

[New guy]

 

And he has got out in only 3 of them

 

His partner got out 11 times

That's many times worse than Inzamam ever was and has cost our team in many critical times. Worst part is because of his ego, it's always the other guy who got out (almost 80% of the time)

Kohli, followed by Jadeja, are terrible judges of singles + annoying habit of darting out of crease, giving false signals to the other batter

But he is hyped up as some great runner between wickets by commentators and media. Just shows how fake hype can be built up.

 

Same in fielding where he drops a lot of catches but is hyped as a good fielder.

he is athletic, but neither a good catcher nor a good runner between the wickets. both of these require mental skills in addition to just physical fitness

Hyped as the fittest freak - drops most catches 

 

Hyped as great runner - involved in most run outs.

 

Hyped as goat batter - averages in mid 40s.

Simply retire, with lot of force, any player that crosses 35. They have been dead weights and will be so. 

 

Also, send the fans of these squeezed out stars to mental asylum. This brainless individual worship has been the no.1 villian of our sport.

He has to be dropped if not for his own sake then for others sake. That we have a bum at 2 down is an issue but not as much as this one.

Kohli won't ever be kicked out.

Jadeja, for all his faults, rarely does it in Tests. Kohli is on another level.

In my view he was a very good test captain though.

Built our test team after Dhongi drowned it.

BCCI should have convinced him to stay as red ball capain. Sharma ji is a complete downgrade.

I don't doubt that statement. But it's also true that we choked big time in WTC 2021.

BCCI wanted him to stay but he resigned ina huff as his ego was hurt from being removed from LOIs as captain

Those bot army won't be able to define what is leg glance

Most hyped up player ever ,who doesn't even know till date where his off stump is !!

[Ultimate_Game]

So Kohli is averaging around 30 over the last 5 years, has dropped the most no. of catches (47) and is involved in most run outs (14).

 

That means his actual contribution is worse than a tailender when you factor in the dropped catches and the batters he has run out.

 

And his fans call him "King"

For him it has always been his ego before anything else.
