[VIDEOS/ PICTURES] Virat Kohli has secured his position as an ATG

'71 hundreds? That's ridiculous': Finch says 'writing off' Kohli not an option

Keeping the limelight away from Virat Kohli is a tough job. After a successful Asia Cup - Kohli ended up as the second highest-run scorer (276) of the tournament with a much better strike rate and average than the top spot holder Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan - the questions about Kohli's form (or the lack of it) have now quickly been replaced with how to put a lid on his scoring.

Similar questions on Kohli were asked to Australia stalwarts Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch ahead of their three-match T20I series against India starting Tuesday in Mohali. While both the senior Australian cricketers were on the same page about Kohli's class, it was Finch who gave an eloquent answer.

The Australia T20I captain termed Kohli as 'one of the greatest players of all time' and said the opposition teams have to be really 'brave' to count someone of Kohl's calibre out.

"You'd be a very very brave man to write off Virat at any stage. He has shown for 15 years now, that he is one of the greatest players of all time. Particularly in T20 cricket, he is someone who has developed his game and grown his game over for such a long period. You are always trying to prepare to the best of your ability when you are coming up against Virat," said Finch during a press conference in Mohali on Monday.

Ahead of the series opener on Tuesday, Kohli was by far the most impressive Indian batter on display in the nets. He was attacking the pacers and pacers alike. He was authoritative in his drives, pounced on anything that was short and used his feet so regularly against spinners as if it was a crime to stay inside the crease.

"He is superb... 71 international hundreds, that is just ridiculous, isn't it," Finch added, talking about Kohli's record-breaking maiden T20I hundred against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. The former India captain hit 122* off 61 balls, which is the highest T20I score by an Indian. He did that while opening the batting with KL Rahul as captain Rohit had decided to sit out of India's final match in the tournament - they had no chance of making it to the final.

Kohli's innings gave rise to the debate whether he should permanently slot in at the top of the order with Rohit. The debate was settled by Rohit when he said Kohli is a backup option and KL Rahul will open the batting for India in the Australia and South Africa home series and also in the World Cup next month.

"Virat Kohli is our third opener. In the last match of the Asia Cup, we were happy with the way he played. KL Rahul will open the batting in the World Cup, his performance sometimes goes quite unnoticed. He is a very important player for Team India. For us, I just want to make it clear that we are clear in our thought process. We do not have any confusion, we are very clear about what KL Rahul brings to the table for us, he is a quality player and is very important for us. His presence at the top is very crucial for us," Rohit said.

I´m usually not the one to be drawn into discussions about comparison because I genuinely believe that people have their favourite players who they´re fans of, and such discussion always tend to present biased pictures, but today´s innings by him even towards the closing stages of his career - reminding us of the Kohli of old - was a timely remember how many batsmen who are mentioned in the same breath as him are levels, simply levels, below him and will need to be born twice to become worthy of being compared to him. Such are the matches where legends are made and tales are narrated about, and he always finds a way to up his game for such high voltage games, somehow. 48 needed off 18, against the best pace attack in the world right now, in an incredibly high pressure Indo-Pak encounter, he pulls off a masterclass of an innings. That six off Haris Rauf straight down the ground is one of the greatest shots that I´ve seen; and Kohli has now played two of the three greatest T20I innings that I´ve ever watched in my life. Sometimes you just have to bow down to the quality of a player and accept that he´s just too good.

I also think that the reason behind his success against Pakistan lies in his ability to thrive in high voltage matches, and the skill of facing quality bowling is something which only he possess from the current set of Indian batsmen - who, with due respect, are highly over-rated and too much talked about - well, most of them, at least.

Well done, Kohli! You reminded me of Mohali 2016 today. Brought back so many memories.
 
Proper legendary innings from Kohli.

Truly cricket's GOAT batsmen when chasing.
 
That innings was unreal. I was actually happy with him playing because I thought he has lost his ability to hit 6s but man was I wrong. Has to go down as one of the best t20 innings of all time. I feel Pakistani bowlers could not not do anything about it because the man was in the zone.
 
Same feeling that Tendulkar gave us at Centurion in the 2003 WC.

Well said. Rohit, Rahul, SKY etc. repeatedly fail against quality bowling like SSA or Haris. They have a habit of scoring stylish soft runs against weaker opposition, but hardly ever perform in crucial encounters …. Need to get rid of the lot and inject talented fresh blood like Padikkal, Kishan etc. Enough is enough!

I can't deny that Kohli is an ATG. Not in tests sure, but counting all formats, he is an ATG. Which means you can count him in a list of GOAT players

Also, Kohli is the GOAT batsman in T20. Stats be damned, he has delivered every single time when it mattered, and has won impossible matches against the best teams in the world.

Dominant, consistent aren't good enough words to describe his achievements in T20I.
 
"So is old Kohli back? Did he ever leave? Those are but moot questions. It is easy to get drunk on superlatives on a night like this. What was witnessed today was a genuinely rare combination: a great player producing a great performance for the ages against a quality opposition in a great venue without ever appearing great for large parts while creating greatness. And yet, just like old times, it was a timely reminder that for all the gongs and glories in the past, the little restraint that may have crept into his machine, Kohli remains a man for the big moment and the big stage." -Cricbuzz.

Can we put this myth of Kohli being a good fielder to bed?

A good fielder doesn't drop as many sitters as he does. He's average at best.
 
It’s a shame a lot of South Indians don’t think much of Kohli. He is still not given that much credit by them.
They firmly believe he and Shastri ruined the team, which is true to a certain extent but you cannot expect every new leader to bat like Tendulkar and captain like Dhoni in white ball cricket. Kohli based on his test captaincy alone should be respected a lot. But I feel, even with his recent performances, I think his peak is gone and he will show temporary flashes of brilliance with the bat from now on.
 
Guys I’m back. I mentioned in a post a decade ago that Kohli will go down as the greatest batsmen of all time and I have been proven right. We got to witness an extraordinary talent over the years who treated us to many a gem of an innings. The most recent one against Pakistan was pure class. That back foot six of Harris rauf just wow!
 
A master of the modern game, Virat Kohli has surpassed ICC Hall of Famer Mahela Jayawardena as the most prolific run-scorer in ICC Men's T20 World Cup history.

Tucking Taskin Ahmed for a single off his hip Kohli edged past Jayawardena's 1016 in 23 innings, eight innings quicker than the Sri Lankan, at an average of over 85 and a strike rate of 131.

It came with KL Rahul at the other end, who vitally found form with a score of 50 from just 32 deliveries.

Despite a lean trot earlier in the year, the 33-year-old found his groove in the Asia Cup and in bilateral series against Australia and South Africa leading up to the event, and hit the ground running in the much-anticipated meeting with Pakistan at the MCG in front of over 90,000 people to begin his tournament.

Runs against the Netherlands pushed Kohli closer towards the thousand mark, and despite a blip against South Africa, he joined Jayawardena as the only men to boast a four-figure tally.

A glowing embodiment of the modern day athlete, Kohli's record doesn't just stack up well with others in the game, but those across other sports.

Meticulous in his preparation, laser-sharp in focus, and perhaps still at the peak of his fitness, his results in a game are hard to comprehend, especially in a game known to be so fickle.

“Fitness for me is probably more important than having cricket practice. I honestly feel that having a fit body makes you think better as well," Kohli said in the build-up to this year's event.

"So, it could help people in their work, sport, anything. When you’re fit, you just want to start your day well, look forward to doing a lot more, on an everyday basis rather than just dragging yourself through the day.”

At one stage averaging over fifty in all three formats - he currently averages 49.53 in Test cricket at this point in time to deny him for now - it is the mindset and clinical calculation that truly sets him apart.

ICC
 
The Greatest Ever Batsman since the invention of T20 format. When we are talking about all formats, certainly no one comes close to the King Kohli.
He is among the TOP 3 ODI and T20I batsman the world ever produced, and one of the greatest ever Test batsman coming from Asia.

It is simple - Athleticism is there, fitness is pretty good.
But drops catches because of generally lack of concentration on field. That's why he is generally an excellent fielder but if you are asked, an excellent catcher? That's questionable.
 
This is the first time Virat Kohli has been dismissed in a semi-final of a T20 WC and that too after scoring a clutch Fifty!

Clutch 50 or a very slow 50 given the pitch and dimensions of the ground?
Will Mamoon shed some light on how Virat paced his innings today inspite of finding boundaries here and there.

What was he supposed to do when Rohit Sharma was batting at a snails pace and the overrated SKY and KL Rahul had already gotten out. Even when Pandya was batting with Kohli, Kohli was having to make up for Pandya’s slow start.

Kohli did not get support from any end today.

It’s funny how Indian fans bash Kohli the first when overrated players like SKY, Rahul and Rohit Sharma consistently fail in pressure games against big oppositions.
 
Abysmal innings from him that will be heralded as clutch from his fan boys.

Kohli is getting bashed because he deserves every bit of it.

What a pathetic innings he played today!
 
Hilarious that people hate on kohli as if he is the problem.

These wannabe's like Pandya, Pant, Rahul etc will always fail when it really matters. Kohli is the man who has stood between Pakistan and victory on so many occasions.

Part of me wants India to boot him out so they can see the humiliation they would suffer without him. But equally its sad that a legend of the game I love will be gone forever like Dhoni before him.
 
There was no Surya Kumar Yadav to make Kohlis stat padding innings look good today.

Rohit has been surviving in the team based on his past laurels. The experiment of the white ball captaincy has flopped, captaining a franchise is different from the national team, neither is he a calm captain under pressure and neither does he lead by example with the bat or his fitness.
 
Lol so this humiliation isn't enough for Kohli bhakts. They want more!

Cant believe some people are blaming Kohli for this loss. India lost because their bowling is not that good. Kohli is the best batsman India has ever produced. He has nothing left to prove.

Can't blame Kohli here. His role is well established as the anchor. The other batsmen around him failed.

Pakistan has never produced a batsman who comes close to Kohli’s stature, skills or achievements. And that’s a bitter fact you just have to swallow to go with the sweet laddoos you’re all sharing with each other right now :)

He scored a clutch 35 in a WC final when India were reeling on 31/2. Had he got out for single figures, India would've probably lost the final. So he has delivered a WC for India.
 
He played his role as an anchor very well throughout tournament except today. Rohit sharma's struggle demanded more attacking approach from kohli as it's not possible that one would always survive till 20th over and make up with death overs hitting.

If not for pandaya's brilliant assault at the death overs India would have ended up below 150.

Lmao. 35 runs in a below-par chase against Sri Lanka at home, with the player of the tournament and Dhoni batting below him is NOT a clutch performance.

However, Kohli did separate himself from Sachin who has the distinguished record of failing in not one, but TWO world cup finals.

Babar is 28 today, Kohli was 28 in 2016-2017.

Kohli is far better than any batsman Pakistan has ever produced and ever will produce. He is also far better than Amla across all formats. Accept this bitter fact and move on.

Speaking of Amla, he choked in the following tournaments:

2011 World Cup
2013 CT
2014 WT20
2015 World Cup
2016 WT20
2017 CT
2019 World Cup

He played 7 tournaments and at least 5 of them in the prime of his career. Not a single hundred against a big team any of the ODI World Cups, not a single impact innings in any of the WT20s. A total bottler under pressure and one of the biggest reasons why South Africa never achieved anything of note in these tournaments.

Once again, accept this bitter fact and move on.

Please watch Kohli's knocks in previous WT20 semifinals. Babar cannot even dream of such performances. Pakistani fans are forcing Babar to be criticized yet again due to their delusional mindset.

He is not fit to tie Kohli's shoelaces. He just doesn't have the talent, skill and mental fortitude to have a career and legacy like Kohli. That, however, does not mean that he is not very good and cannot have a great career of his own.

Kohli is a legend among legends. He is the GOAT all-format batsman, right up there in the league of Sachin, Ponting, Lara, Sir Viv etc.

Babar is several rungs below, in the league of MoYo, Inzamam, Mahela, Williamson, Amla, Clarke etc.

Anyone who thinks so needs to either get his head check or maybe his head is so deep underground he can taste the core.

I know you're hurting but Babar has been outperforming Kohli in all formats for a few years now.
