When Kohli scores a century ....

[maniac]

91(79)* anyday :isalute: Look I rate Kohli's CT knock highly as well but to say it was his best would demean the other great knocks he has played. To start with it wasn't even a proper ODI knock, more of a T20 knock.

Gambhir's knock was better :beee: in CT Final 2 back to back wickets won the game :giggle:but Kohli's knock was better

There is a difference between scoring a match-winning knock in the final of a high-profile tournament when the top 5 wickets have fallen cheaply AND scoring a century in a dead rubber on a super flat track.

You talk as if all his centuries came in dead rubbers. What about the 50 ball 100 chasing 360? Or 133 while chasing 320 in 40 overs? Those were not dead rubbers.

That fastest Indian 100 is special but it was made on a super-flat patta where the average score of the series was 320 and James Faulkner looked like Viv Richards. And you are placing that above a CT win where the fall of Kohli's wicket would have meant a sure-shot defeat? I hope you realize that the pressure was 10 times more in the CT final.

5 down, RR under 5 in a 20 over Champions Trophy final and he plays a gem, no matter how much they were. Its gave us a chance. The Australian series centuries shouldn't even be considered since it was played on the flattest pitches in cricket.

Kohli: To be able to chase down 320 in 40 overs and to win with the bonus point was simply wonderful. I committed a few mistakes in the last game. I just played myself in and I wanted to hang in there. I put everything into that cover drive that I hit off Malinga's bowling. We did not execute our plans well in the tour but we remained positive. We have to rely on other teams to ensure that we go into the finals. We will be rooting for Australia in the final league match. This was my best knock in ODIs and I am very happy.

I hope you understand that a cricketer's favourite knock may not be the same as the fan's/cricket watcher's favourite knock. For example, Kumble's favourite bowling spell maybe the 10/10 against Pakistan at Kotla, but fans may point out to some other spell as his best depending on the context.

Well, that was right after that game, so his personal favourite might have changed to 183 against Pak :hehe:

Kohli can't call the CT knock his favorite 1 year before playing that knock.

Didn't know it was an after-match interview. Edit - Now read that he says 'last game'.

Velu seems one of those people who believes if you repeat bullsh!t often enough, it can be considered fact.

He could have called it his best after he played it?
