He wouldn't  qualify neither  as keeper or even a slip... lost many matches  for rcb with his shitty keeping. Its ok since its for IPL can't  afford to drop  in tests.. I ll take vijay over this guy in slips anyday

I agree he isn't the best of the keeper but he's the best we have . even vijay isn't great.Rahul is much better than him.

Why virat is a bad slip fielder and why rahane is so good

The diff how Rahane is standing on his toes in an alert position always in anticipation of catch, while kohli weight is on his heels and his position looks most off among all. His position leads him to a slow reflex or reaction causing a last minute panic and with further that position ur body cant every be balanced.

It is funny how Sridhar hasn't settled in on team's slip cordon after being coach for 3 years. Incompetence or what?

 

We are getting flogged by RSA/Eng/Aus no matter how well we bat/bowl if this is going to be our standard of catching. I shudder to think what Du Plessis/Amla/Root/Cook/Smith/Warner will do to this unit after being dropped twice every half an hour.

However, one elephant remains unaddressed: India at slips, specifically Kohli at slips. The most violent act during the Galle Test was when Kohli slapped the helpless turf after dropping Upul Tharanga at second slip. Tharanga duly obliged by getting bowled two balls later, and once again India got away with it. It is different when conditions and oppositions let your bowlers keep creating enough opportunities, but Kohli will remember how dearly he and India have paid for drops earlier: he himself dropped Brendon McCullum when his triple-hundred denied India a Test win in 2014, and Alastair Cook's 95 turned a whole series around after he was let off a few months later.

Kohli should be never in slips and overall also a very ordinary catcher
