This post looks a case of sour grapes coming from a fan of a certain team. Any other teams' fans opinions would be taken into consideration I'm sure.True, but for something to be called a formula, it should work more than once or people call it a fluke.
Southafrican players surroundered infront of kohli

How many players has SA lost due to KolPak.... Imagine Rossouw in this middle order. He would easily be the best player in the team after AB. SA need to manage their talent better, no nation can afford to keep losing world class players.
Some of us are smart enough to read between the lines.I merely defined "formula". You are the one who brought up CT and how "certain fans" feel.
Kohli shuld declare here ...and give chance to middle order
And be all out for 170 odd? Even Bhuvi isn't playing today.
always the best batsmen are those who are not in the team.. he made some runs against WI. Only against Aus he has had good runs and mediocre against everyone else..

Thought India would give Pandaya or Iyer a chance . They need the batting practice as they already know what Rahane is capable.

He was coming into his own.... Showed good skills in the PSL as well when Saffer batsmen are not renowned for their spin playing abilities (as seen in this series)
Since when did PSL become benchmark for international cricketers
Sad part is the gang of Shastri , Bangar etc get to keep their job.
It is the league of the top ranked T20 side in the world. I think it is has more importance than some lullo panju leagues.
Sad? People sure are funny.
Am sure some guys miss good old Greg Chappell
Kohli could have his hands tied to his head, his head tied to his shins, his shins tied to his back and still score a century
agreedRain spoiled it otherwise we would have won this series 6-0.

VIRAT KOHLI put his indelible stamp on a famous Indian victory when he scored his 35th ODI century and his third in the current series to lead his side to a decisive 5-1 victory over the Standard Bank Proteas following an 8-wicket victory with almost 18 overs to spare in the final Momentum ODI at SuperSport Park on Friday evening.
It has been a performance that has outshone any other international captain to come to this country. It was only appropriate that he himself should hit the winning runs with a classic straight drive off Imran Tahir, having during the course of his innings (129 off 196 balls, 19 fours and 2 sixes) reached the milestone of more than 500 runs in the six-match series.
The only way the Proteas could defend their sub-par total of 204 after they had once again be bowled out inside the 50 overs was to take a lot of early wickets but that never looked like happening as Shikhar Dhawan and Kohli put on 61 for the second wicket and then Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane a further unbeaten 126 for the third.
The fact that India hit 19 boundaries in the first 20 overs of their innings was indicative of the command they exercised over the South African attack.
The irony of the Proteas poor batting performance was the fact that this time the major damage was inflicted by the three Indian seamers rather more than the spinners with Shardul Thakur, playing his first match of the series, taking 4/52 and the three seamers 7 wickets in total between them.
It was an oft repeat story for the South African batting line-up. The only match they dominated was the one that was reduced to a virtual T20 affair but in the other contests they were unable to post big partnerships with very few individual scores of note. India had five centuries in the series with the only reply for the Proteas coming from Faf du Plessis in his lone appearance before dropping out injured.
The one positive this evening was the way Khaya Zondo grabbed his opportunity to make his career best 54 (74 balls, 3 fours and 2 sixes).
But there could be no getting away from the fact that India outplayed the Proteas in all disciplines virtually throughout the series.
It goes without saying that Kohli was named Momentum Man of the Match and Momentum Man of the Series.
129 off 96 balls
Itna Sannata kyu hai bhai
Arre koi haiiii. ......
This was one of those matches which didn't leave any room for ifs & buts. Thoroughly dominating performance from the start to the end.
I'm sure it would be immensely painful for some as well. There's hardly any room for hiding now.
SA was saving themselves for OZ series !
By giving such pathetic excuses, few posters here questioning integrity of proud cricketing nation like SA, just to make it suitable for their anti-India agenda![]()
