The longest ever rope for an Indian batter

‘Not many players get to be part of a team when they're getting out the same way while they've been in patchy form for five years.’

Add the year 2020 and the numbers are 2005 runs @ 31.32!
 

Centuries on the highways of Ahmedabad and Trinidad. Perth century when Australia were out of the contest as the team’s effective score was 321/2.

You're just a hater. Since 2019 India has not lost a game whenever he scored a ton

 

He deserves to play for 10 more years

Rubbish player. Was never that talented to begin with. India just wasted 5 years on this egoistical brat who just don't know his off stump is and has literally no game awareness. Imagine any young batter could have got into team and consolidated his position during these years while this epitome of mediocrity has been hogging that position while players of substantial talent and legacy are retring around him. Costed India 2 WTC finals and now main culprit of India not getting into Finals 3rd time.

@SachDan fix the title to "The longest ever rope for ANY batter"

 

I don't recall anyone getting such a long rope anywhere. Even "King" Babar was dropped against Eng at home recently and he had much better numbers than Kohli. But we're somehow saddled with this dead weight for eternity.

 

It's truly amazing what Bumrah and our lower order have been able to accomplish with passengers like Kohli and Rohit in the team :hatsoff:

Ponting played about 40 tests with an avg of 37 IIRC. That's the closest I can remember - selectors were pretty non-ruthless with him by Aus standards

This did not age well

 

 

he did kinda fix it in 2018, but has regressed back to his initial stage

rohit, KL, virat - all have massively underperformed over long periods of time; ironically, brohit's fall is the steepest, but also the shortest (did well till Eng tour in 2023-24)

This has got to be the most ridiculous selection in the history of cricket. A guy who doesn't bother to even work on his weaknesses or even acknowledge them, habitually making the same error and not even trying to improve keeps getting selected for 5 years of non performance because of some advertiser backing.
