[Gambit]

had horrid first game in india so average might be even better :cantstop: and played many matches at number 6 at 5 he might be better

[Switchblade]

Brilliant innings

[The Dark Horse]

What a strokeplayer! Much needed for India

[zep1706]

Serious class.

[Lord]

And Virat.

Hes better than Virat imo

[BlueBee]

Astonishing innings!

[G_B_]

Hes better than Virat imo

he has a game better rounded for all foreign countries. Virat i think is better in Aus. But struggles v swing (England)

A love this guy.Despite his 'deer in the head light 'looks...I think he is the toughest guy out there. Tougher than the delhi boys....he doesn't even need to act like the tough one.Mentally strong guy!!

[BlueBee]

He literally slapped two MJ bouncers over mid wicket

Kohli played well in South Africa and NZ where there was decent swing and seam movement.

Amazing knock by Rahane. His strokeplay has impressed one and all.

Compared to Rahane,Kohli scores more runs infront of square against fast bowlers...

[Gollum]

He should be averaging 60+. Has got 7 decisions against him since his debut and all could have been overturned had there been a review system in place.

[Gollum]

What Rahane and Virat have done is nothing new. We have always had great middle order batsmen. What Murli Vijay has been doing is mindblowing. Only Gavaskar before him used to play these sort of nnings. Future of Indian cricket lies in the monk's hand.

[PBN]

It was a sublime innings from Rahane. Some really cracking shots on display during the innings. When Kohli was going through a loss in concentration after the Johnson incident, Rahane kept the pressure on the Aussies from the other end. Well Done!
