I have a different take on this. After 100 in Perth, Kohli tried to impose and dominate Australia like his old self . He was very arrogant to play cover drives and get dismissed. The dressing room atmosphere of Gambhir trying  to sack players or make players accountable after few low scores does not help either. More than technique , it's the mind space which undone kohli (as confirmed by ABD in his YouTube channel) with Australian crowd/media/Indian cricket experts going against him. He tried to shut every one but could not keep up with the external pressures  nor his inner cobwebs. If you check his t20 stats, he had memorable knock out performances singlehandedly which negates your theory of Kohli ever playing an impactful innings in ICC knock outs.  INzamam of pak/Aravinda desilvaIa of SL/Yuvraj/Dhoni only had one knock out innings out of multiple world cups. Compare this with kohli who is the Man of the series in 2014 t20 World Cup, 2016 t20 World Cup, 2023 ODI World Cup.  do not recall sachin ever playing in any knock out in ODI world cups in a winning cause(barring the semis in 2011 World Cup in which he had 4 drops). Do not take any thing away from his contributions since others around him were good. Is wasim alarm a lesser legend since he had the support of  greats like waqar/shoiab author ?

 

 

I think, he will come back strongly. His technique may not be great but his hunger and work ethic is top notch. Come champions trophy, I am expecting to see a resurgence of Kohli. I think, this may be second come back loading  after his famous 2022 t20 back to back sixes comeback In Australia. 

 

 

[Lord]

Why is he not playing this shot?

What is his excuse for the 5 year before where his stats is exactly like the one in this series?

 

Sachin was man of series and highest scorer in multiple world cups too and Sachin never played T20 wc so why compare with kohlis T20? 

 

And who was others around Sachin good, he had a worse bowlers and team than Kohli had

 

Kuch bhi dude

Do you think Kohli can rectify his trigger movement and be successful at this age?

 

Or 

 

Should Kohli call it quits?

 

Once I was a Kohli fan.  
 

Now I think he should rectify his trigger movement by the method of rectally inserting his bat till it forms a perfect rectangle, since he lacks the rectitude to resign from Test cricket.

He tries to and ends up edging the ball. His reflexes are gone and he can no longer read line & length of the deliveries. That's why you also see him missing full tosses and get LBW so often against spinners.

In order to counter the swing he stands well outside the crease. So back of a length ball gets big on him, with less time ball travelling to slips instead of cover or extra cover. 

He has too many weaknesses.

Everyone played BGT. Kohli played Ashes. He sucked just like how ENlgand has been sucking in Australia over the years.

[Laaloo]

Didn't he board the flight back to england a few days back? You think he's going to work on his technique? Lol

Kuch bhi dude 

My intention of drawing t20 is to assert on work load/demands of modern game where kohli/current players who play all format need to play an exuasuting IPL and t20 too. 

 

And who was others around Sachin good --> Ganguly was at his peak during sachin. Sachin had Dravid/Sehwag/Laxman and yuvraj/dhoni later in his career. 

he had a worse bowlers - Zaheer/kumble/harbajhan/srinadh are world class for sure

No denying the fact  he declined . The humiliation of stripping of captaincy, having to fight his way through he did great in t20/ODI post come back. For all his flaws out side off, kohli sure has the mental resolve/grit in the league of sachin/Dhoni. I think, he may come back in champions trophy followed by ENG series. If he fails in ENG, he should call it quits in test cricket and possibly take retirement .

 

Kuch bhi dude -- I may have a flawed argument, I am following Indian cricket since 1995 as a 10 year old. 3 decades of being passionate Indian cricket follower. I won't blabber with out relevant data.

Virat Kohli has been fishing outside off stump for a long time.

 

PDogg has explained the reason for this weakness and how his trigger movement before playing the ball has contributed to this flaw.

 

 

 

Timestamp: 5:00 to 9:00.

 

Do you think Kohli can rectify his trigger movement and be successful at this age?

 

Or 

 

Should Kohli call it quits?

 

I think he should retire soon.

 

Share your opinion guys. @vvvslaxman @Lord @Chaos @zen @coffee_rules

@IndianRenegade @Laaloo @Number @Vijy

 

Discussion is open for all and not just limited to the people tagged.

 

Mother time is a trigger that only goes forward. 
 

He has no turn left. The only other trigger he can pull is retire gracefully - he got lucky with boom winning  us odi World Cup .

luck ain’t smiling on him rt now .

If he fails in England?? Dude you are high or what ? he will be canon fodder . 
 

Need new blood. Take dravids and sehwags son and u will have better avg than him in England . 
 

s khan is warming bench with a fc avg of 60 . Let him , rinku singh , ruturaj , sai sudarshan grind it out . England is the place where we can field a brand new look team 

 

 

[Lord]

Kohli should listen to this guy

He should be kicked out long time ago but these words aren't suited in your mouth or any Rohit's A@@licker fans what's Rohit's average in SENA countries in test 

[vvvslaxman]

He can try copying Steve smith. Not difficult lol

Kohli for all his skill was never street smart like Steve smith.  Gill is clone of him as well. 

[vvvslaxman]

Few domestic matches at home will help him if this is true
