(Video) Virat Kohli's atrocious fielding

[omairsiddiqui]

Wow. Never thought I'd be saying this. King Kohli's fielding has been AWFUL in Australia so far. He has misfielded multiple times and has now dropped three absolute dollies in the LOI series. Seems like he's got a lot on his mind with no Rohit or Dhoni.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Yep ridiculous. I hope it doesn't continue.

 

[Gilly]

Kohli has never been a "good" fielder.

 

[angrypathan]

Entertaining I must say. Never thought I'd see Sohail Tanvir's drop against Bangladesh in 2014 get any competition.

 

[Ab Fan]

Not sure about ground fielding but catching is terrible to say the least.

 

[Ashmal]

He has always been a terrible catcher but his ground fielding is decent.

 

[shah_1]

He is an average fielder. Rohit Sharma despite having a family pack is 100 times better catcher then Kohli . Fitness can make you agile but can't improve your catching ability.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli has never been a "good" fielder.

This. He is a strictly average fielder.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Spectacular not safe.
He is the kind of fielder who can take breathtaking catches but can also drop a dolly.

Any spectacular catches that you have seen please post

 

[Firebat]

You don't even have to be an average fielder to catch the 2 that he dropped so far. I never realised he was this bad.

 

[Firebat]

I'm sorry but this is a horrible drop.

You can only laugh about that if you are captain of the team.

 

[King_Kohli]

Terrible catch drops from Kohli.
Dropping soft catches and sitters.

 

[JattMaula]

Kaptaan has always been a terrible catcher. He is an alright ground fielder but catches win and lose you matches!

 

[King_Kohli]

Kohli has never been a "good" fielder.

He is one of the best ground fielder, but not good at catches.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Anyone remember Kohli dropping a dolly from McCullum and Baz went on to hit 300?

 

[Smbhayi]

He dropping catch is nothing new.. but he's Avery good ground fielder though..

 

[Panchujeev]

Now we have a individual thread about Kohli
As a Player
As a Batsmen
As a Captain
As a Fielder (2 threads)
About he conduct himself on pitch
About his performance in knockout matches
Countless comparison threads with Shezad, akmal, smith, babar

What next?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I think he is always in a hurry to celebrate before taking a catch.

 

[Hyperion66]

He has never been a reliable catcher and for someone who has so much hype around his fitness his ground fielding is just about okay.

 

[shamaan]

I'm sorry but this is a horrible drop.

Even a club level cricketer could catch that

 

[shamaan]

Thats shocking dropped catch

 

[Joseph Gomes]

He has butter fingers

 

[King_Kohli]

Don't want to see him in slips.

 

[JattMaula]

Don't want to see him in slips.

Who is gonna bail this cat?

 

[Ab Fan]

Who is gonna bail this cat?

He is a Viv Richards type personality. You gotta give him something challenging to lash on, these dollies make him feel too boring to grab. Virat is a showman on field, just need to be told not to emulate Sir Viv.

 

[Slog]

Why do people think thag being superbly fit would somehow translate to being a better fielder

Well these are the words from the man himself.
