How much will Virat Kohli average with the bat in Test series against England?

[UN talkz]

I think it will be between 35-45

What do you guys think?

 

[babajee]

23.

 

[Ab Fan]

56

 

[Peshwa]

80+

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

66.6

 

[Sam99]

40 - 45. I guess he will score 2 centuries but will be flop in few innings too.

 

[enkidu_]

Between 40-45.

 

[Sam99]

23.

Wow so you agree he will improve this time? He had avg of just 13 last time so i thought you might say 3 this time.

 

[Rahul1]

I think that either it will be a repeat of Viv Richards' epic series in 1976 or it will be a disaster like 2014. Nothing in between.

 

[ManFan]

24.78.

Don’t ask me how I know.

 

[ChuckLee]

Virat will average around 70 plus this series. Will score 2 plus centuries and a couple of 50’s. Watch him win India the series. He’s the greatest of all time. It don’t matter if you agree or not.

 

[kuskash]

Between 15-45

 

[introvert]

< 35
I think he will have much better tour compared to last time but I don't think he will be dominant force from India.
I expect rahane & vijay outscore him.

English bowlers won't pick his wicket more than 5 times. This is going to be the most memorable phainta English bowlers ever received at home.

 

[kingusama92]

45+ with a couple of 100s.

So if the pitches were like they were in past would virat have struggled against anderson & broad?

 

[happydavy]

I would imagine in high 60s with atleast 2 centuries. I would be surprised if he scores less than 500 runs in the series.

 

[Adijazz1706]

<40

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Even if he has an Okish series (by his standards) he would average no less than 60. These are ideal conditions for batting and England are a mess right now in Test Cricket. I am totally backing India to win this 3-0 or 4-1

 

[pratiktc]

Kohli doesn't have middling series. He will either get 500-550 run haul or 180-220 type series.

If he flops in his first 3 inns continuously, India will most likely be 2-0 down and Kohli's interest and average will spiral further as series progresses.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Taking bias out of my answer, he will come back strongly in this series.

He has a point to prove, this is the only gaping hole in his test credentials.

I personally think, him being so mentally strong, he will average 50+ this series.

[world cup captain]

I'm fully backing Kohli to have a dominating series with at least 2 centuries and a double ton. It's about time Kohli takes the throne of being the best test batsman in the world.

 

[Cricket-Pundit]

Above 50

 

[topspin]

50+ - good wickets for batting and his technique along with mental tenacity has improved vastly. Expect him to score a 150+ knock at least as well.

Contest between him and Rashid will be a fascinating one following the "ball of the century" delivery to him in the recently concluded ODI series.

 

[Hasan123]

40 plus.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Between 50 to 55.

 

[happydavy]

I would imagine in high 60s with atleast 2 centuries. I would be surprised if he scores less than 500 runs in the series.

Perhaps I ll change my earlier prediction to atleast 3 centuries and 500 to 550..no way he was going to anything less than 500/2

 

[kingusama92]

With this kind of start, he may be heading towards a massive performance.

1 run shy. Will be interesting to see if he can better this knock.

 

[King kohli]

until now IN 6 innings 440 run @73.33 , i have gut feeling he make around 730-760 runs @ 80 including 4 hundreds

 

[ManFan]

24.78.

Don’t ask me how I know.

Glad he proved me wrong.

If he scores a double-century in the next two Tests, it will be the best tour a batsman has had to England since the original “King”, Vivian Richards in 1976.

 

[Peshwa]

80+

Almost there mate
Pat on the back

There must be another thread on this, because I had a post there. His first 10 innings earned him 134 at 13.40, which I backed him to correct significantly this time. To reach a bare minimum overall average of 35-40, over 20 innings, he needs around 565 to 666 runs in this Series - I did back him to reach in between there with couple of tons at least. Outside ENG, his conversion rate was outstanding (21 in 61 Test I believe) - he was due at least 2 centuries to make it 1 in 5, 3 is probably per.

I think, he'll reach there - ~600 runs with 2/3 hundreds.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a turnaround!

Thats what great players do. They overcome challenges and conquer.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He just has to add few more runs to average atleast 50 for the series.

Going through old thread is fun

Now, he has another 9 innings in WC, most likely 10, can be 11 as well - how much will he score this time?

Anything less than 500 runs in this edition of WC will be a bit of failure for him especially with kind of standards he has set.

Fair to say, my prediction was the closest to the actual result(59).
