India [256/4] beat West Indies [240/7] by 6 wickets in the 3rd ODI, win series 2-0

Iyer looks good. Should bat at 4. Will never understand why he was dropped in the first place.

I think dropping him unfairly may have cost us the cup.
It was heartbreaking to see him controlling the match do easily yesterday. It was an absurd decision to drop him.
Truly so.

Embarrassment for Kohli to be hitting c consecutive exactly after the world cup. No wonder people are taking note of it and rightly pointing out.

He seems only good at playing Jamodis.

In world cups he's not even among best 20 batsmen ever

Wrong you are.
Is it because he failed in the 3 most important matches or is it because of the dip in the average in the world tournaments?

You need to clarify the absolute criterion before i can factually refute it. No point in shifting the goal post on and off.

He has a number of world level knockout matches to set things right.

You ascribe meaning and significance to matches as per your own convenience. So a 183 against srilanka while chasing a mammoth scoee in australia carried less value than tendulkar scoring a meaningless 150 against namibia in a world cup match. How very insteresting.

You have to consider the context in its entirety before you go around playing with fancy acronyms and hurt yourself in the process.

He steadied the ship with gambhir in the world cup final 2011 when we had lost quick wickets with a meaningful 30 odd. For me it was a win performance.

He was chasing 330 plus in the frigggin CT final and amir had skill and energy. How many players have won WC knockout matches for their team while chaisng 330. NAME ONE !?

Yeah.

And he had clouds parading overhead with having to face Boult of all people in 2019. Any batsmen from any team would have been blown away. To play newzealand of all teams under swinging conditons!!
You know that.

His avergae dipped in the last wc because he sacrificed his usual playing style in the greater interest of the team in 2019 world cup. He hit so many half centuries ***. Do you really think he underperformed in the 2019 WC.

He was being what his team needed him to be moment to moment and match to match. Not giving a **** about his own personal milestones. Anybody who sees virat play will attest to that.

Gambhir better than kohli in hitherto clutch world cup matches i agree. But him being a friggin choker is a boatload of baloney.

Fancy acronyms or not.
The guy is the greatest chaser of all time in the history of game ever in the words viv,shane, pietersen and you call him a choker.

I do not understand the unnecessary self flaegllation. Stop tagging him with stupid names is all I ask.

And yeah considering the fitness levels he maintains i wont be surprised at all of he carries the torch till 38 39. Whats the big deal?

He is afterall the chasemaster. The greatest at that.

Wow, so you complain about how his record shouldn't be judged on 3 games, then when i give you the stats which clearly show that kohli flops at the world cup and is a choker, you switch to how the 3 games he flopped at weren't his fault, where you conveniently avoid mentioning the semi against pak or the QF against Australia or QF against BD but rather focus on the final of 2011 because that looks slightly better than his usual self. So just for your satisfaction if we include that game and the Aus and BD quarter finals and the finals performance you so cherish, Mr. Greatest Chaser has scored 73 runs in 6 games at a whopping average of 12. That is what a choker looks like, someone who can score 100's for fun JAMODI but put him in an actual trophy winning situation and he flops, not surprising that under his captaincy only time we have won any multi team tournaments is when he isn't in the team.

Also your whole century against namibia **, kohli's played 26 world cup games now, he's faced his share of namibia's of the world, he still averages 46. Some knocks are bigger than others, a 90 in a world cup final is bigger than a 180 in a JAMODI, more people remember and value the knocks of gambhir and dhoni than they do the 180 from kohli, that is a fact.

The original argument was that kohli underperforms at the biggest stage, I have provided actual stats that back that up knockouts and overall wc, all you have done is whine about how scoring in JAMODIS is better than WC knockouts.

He is capable of batting anyway in the top 4. So India made a mistake in dropping him .
