He did that again during the 1st inning of 1st test match against Bangladesh.Now I understand why Virat Kohli chases every other ball outside the off stump lol

Kohli’s interview with Gambhir was longer than Kohli’s innings today. He should do interviews. Has a bright future there.

You pick up bad habits. IT happens in cricket. But it shouldn't take more than 3 years to address the issue. Tendulkar as soon as he identified his coverdrive shot was the problem he cut out that shot in his famous SCG double century. Scored 186 runs out of 241 througthe onside. Not a single boundary of cover drive. Kohli had that kind of discipline. Not anymore. He has far too many external distractions. IPL, family, fanbase, advertisement. travelling, He doesn't care working on it like he did in 2013/14.He did that again during the 1st inning of 1st test match against Bangladesh.

India managed to sruvive with Kohli being out of form in Tests for 4 years because there are others. But can Pakistan afford that?

Yes we have Iftikhar Ahmed on backup!
He is a joke. He is finished.
Kohli has never been better than Tendulkar.

He is in chasing in odi in his prime. In other facets like batting in test and batting first in odi Sachin is superior

He just won India a world title. Without his 76 in the final, it was gone.

Yet another failure. Kohli sadly is a passenger for a long time now.

We will still need him in Australia, but this superstar immunity needs to go. He is no longer a must have in the team.

Age is catching up I guess. Not the same old Kohli.
Then again, he was never that great in Test. He is better in ODI.

Every athlete's career reaches a crossroads where physical and mental fatigue sets in, often after achieving unparalleled success.
Virat Kohli must rediscover his inner drive and hunger to propel him forward.

Because he has nothing left to prove to young kids coming up and dissing him at the fag end of his career.

Averaged 55 last year in Tests. This year, he is playing his 2nd test only.
Yea in SA. Doesn't change the fact that he sucked for the last 4 years. Acting too smart by skipping duleep etc. They are too scared to drop him.

He has nothing left to prove but that doesn't mean free rides are given.
He's been rubbish for a while now and happened to click at the perfect time in a final despite being a passenger for most of the event.
He's a gun player but his time is up, India isn't doing any favours by taking rohit and kohli in ct 2025. They'll be even more aged and more inconsistent then before.

The last test series he played before this was in SA. He was the highest scorer in the series for India.

Ashwin played TN t20
Jadeja performed
Rohit is saved cause he is captain but he should be kicked out too. He is clearly past it.
Virat is finished. He can play on flat and bouncy wickets. But not on spin and swing friendly conditions.

Bang average Test batsman from 2011 to 2014.
Bang average Test batsman from 2019 to date.
A great of the game based on just 3-4 excellent years of Test cricket out of 15+ years of career?
Joe Root and Steve Smith are his daddies in Test cricket.

Test is the weakest format of Kohli.
Still better than Nepalese Babar and one of the greats of the game based on some great TEST and ODI innings.

Bit rich to say he was bang average in test cricket from 2011-14 when he scored 7 tons in SENA during that phase. Many ATGs don't score that many in SENA in their whole career
Post 2019 he was very mediocre !

Kohli is there to make money for BCCI. That's it. His popularity is unrivalled. So they need him out there.

Not really. Allowing veterans a free pass even when they are well past their prime is an age old problem in Indian cricket. Kapil Dev, Ganguly , Tendulkar , Dhoni did the same thing
The only exception was Sunil Gavaskar. He left at the peak of his career
