[VIDEOS] Virat Kohli's decline

[MenInG]

Kapil Dev:

"I don't think so. We shouldn't even think about it," Kapil responded to a reporter's query of whether the Asia Cup 2022 is Kohli's last audition' before the T20 World Cup on Uncut. "If we use terms like last audition, or last chance, I don't think that is right. I just want to say to him that he should keep on playing matches. Sometimes, you shouldn't be taking too many breaks. He is a professional and he should not have that problem. I personally feel he should play as many matches and as many matches he can play. That's more important. When you start scoring runs, then the thought process changes."

Kapil mentioned that unlike his era, today it is good to see players with impact getting more chances. Seniors such as Rohit Sharma, Kohli and others when rested, pave way for youngsters to step-up. And a lot of them, including the likes of Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Shubman Gill have made an impact. This practice going forward, reckons Kapil, is healthy for Indian cricket.

"He should be. Today it doesn't make a difference who's in the team and who isn't. In our time, it used to happen that if a big player is in the team, he has to play. You can't make him sit out. In T20s, a lot has changed. Even if a big player sits out or rests – like Kohli, Rohit or Ashwin, it's fine. The mindset of players have changed which us very good. Who is a bigger name does not matter. What matters is who gives the bigger performance," India's first-ever World Cup winner said.

 

[MenInG]

Finally a fifty comes for Kohli

[MenInG]

Back in form?

 

[The_KING]

Great innings. He is such a great batsman to watch in full flow.

 

[MP2011]

Great innings today by Kohi.

Well done.

 

[Ab Fan]

Top notch batting by Kohli.

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Good innings today, held us together

 

[ElRaja]

hes slowly getting back to form, played some lovely shots, even if the pitch was batting paradise

 

[RexRex]

Pathetic strike rate from him today on an easy batting pitch.

 

[JaDed]

Pathetic strike rate from him today on an easy batting pitch.

Yup.. probably he is patting his own back today after the game.

 

[Hitman]

Pathetic strike rate from him today on an easy batting pitch.

A SR of 136 is nowhere close to being pathetic. Maybe not as per expectations.

 

[Mobashir]

A SR of 136 is nowhere close to being pathetic. Maybe not as per expectations.

It's not that good when batting first and being at the crease till the last over in a score of 181.
Playing 3/4 dot balls in the last over is even worse.

 

[Mobashir]

After 12.1 overs, Kohli did just hit one six. No fours, no sixes, staying till the end.

 

[JaDed]

While that’s true but you would seem to never have such an issue had Babar played like that.

 

[Mamoon]

Too good for Pakistani bowlers, both mentally and technically.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pathetic strike rate from him today on an easy batting pitch.

Your middle-order is weak, he had to stay there to ensure you don’t get bowled out.

Very good knock.

 

[Mobashir]

While that’s true but you would seem to never have such an issue had Babar played like that.

You are misunderstanding here. I have always said both play the same way.
It's indian fans that portrait Kohli as some kind of Viv or ABDV and they Babar is too slow. When the actual numbers show that Babar and Kohli just bat at the same SR (kind of, some little differences here and there).

 

[Mobashir]

Too good for Pakistan, he helped us win the match. Had his stay been longer in the first match we would have won also.

Kohli strikes at 137, Babar strikes at 129 and that is when Kohli started his career in 2010 when 160 used to be a good score.

 

[Rana]

IMO he was very lucky to have been run out by Asif in the final over and then Bishnoi scored the two flukey boundaries because of Fakhar’s non serious attitude.

Had Kohli played the last two balls and not added those runs (as Rauf was all over him), he would not be able to have escaped the criticism back home for not closing off the innings in the way a set batsman should have and allowing Pakistan to come back into the game.

KL and Rohit have the perfect platform for the middle order to get 200. Kohli batted through and wasn’t capable of making this happen.

Yes, let’s not blame the IPL superstar middle order of Yadav/ Pandya/ Pant/ Hooda, who couldn’t play a single decent cameo between them, but blame the guy who held the innings together and was the last recognised batsman to get out.

Kohli was brilliant again last night and without him, Pakistan would have stormed to another 10 wicket win.

Well, it’s the honest truth.

Kohli was out there long enough. He had the best feeling of the wicket. He has 10s of thousands more international runs and experience in comparison to those IPL stars. He is also a much bigger IPL star than all of those names put together.

So Kohli should have done better. It’s a harsh reality, just the way cricket is nowadays.

 

[Villager6964]

Virat didn't play that bad of innings he is just not the same Virat Kohli anymore but he is still more than useful for Indian team.It's Rohit Sharma who should be criticised for his awful batting.

Rohit Sharma is the biggest flat track bully ever(although i m happy he is helping India in losing matches) he should be criticised way more than Virat Kohli.

By that logic, every experienced highest scorer on the losing side should have done better. That's either inaccurate or a pointless observation.

Can't you see Kohli's inability to accelerate? He hasn't hit a boundary for the last 7.5 overs of the innings, just the one six. And it's not only this game. First game vs Pakistan it was the same, against Hong Kong he scored a 40 ball Fifty.

180 str rate in last 5 overs, can't you see his stats?

He is in the worst form of life and still outplaying worlds best t20 batsman by a nose.

I remember Azam failing to chase 270 odd against Zim, a peak Kohli would chased 330 in 40 odd overs.

Kohli isn't a power hitter but at his peak his strike rate was nothing short of exceptional, averaging 50 at 139 is something Babar can only dream of, same goes for two man of the tournaments in t20 Wc.

Virat has always scored slower than the opposition in big T20 games. His actual value only comes into play while chasing. I remember Semi final against WI in Mumbai where he was intent on taking double when 6 hitting was clearly required.

Even yesterday on a good wicket player like Rizwan outdid him who in my opinion is also not a GUN T20 player. Bottom line is these kind of players can easily be outdone by players with higher strike rates in clutch games.

Out of form Kohli still miles better than Peak Babar in T20's.
Kohli at peak own two WC MOT's while Babar at peak struggling to score in Asia cup.


Highest strike rate in T20Is since 2019: (min 1000 runs) (Full-members)

143.43 - Rohit Sharma (1311 runs)
141.57 - Martin Guptill (1226 runs)

What an example, kudos.

Ind vs Wi Semifinals.

Virat Kohli - 89 of 47 balls, str. Rate 190

Easily the best batsman in the semis.

As for clutch performances, pls pick up Kohli's record in semis and finals of t20 Wc and explain how he has got these insane stats.

Let me repeat it, he is not a great player of t20s, he is the one and Only GOAT.

Good for you. I for one dont mind Virat staying in the crease over say Pandiya or Rohit who are more damaging and hard to over come.

 

[aukhan]

He is still a top performer.

[Mobashir]

He can't play these shots when new at the crease.
He needs time to settle himself and score his 40 ball fifty.

 

[Saj]

Horrible shot that today.

Village cricket level.

 

[KingKhanWC]

My school batting coach once tore into me for playing a hack across the line as Kohli did today.

Kohli only plays well against Pakistan now, he knows he has many fans in Pak who see him as top class.

 

[Champ_Pal]

In the last IPL, he got owned by every dibbly dobbly Indian trundler. For some reason he plays well against Pak. Then goes missing against all other oppositions.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot he played today was almost as if he didnt care.

Wonder what the relationship is with Rohit? Kohli mentioned only Dhoni supported him recently, maybe he doesnt care enough as he doesnt want Rohit to win any tournament.

 

[rhony]

At this stage, Kohli is playing for sponsorships and IPL. I see no other reason. That's the case atleast in T20s. Even when he scores, his SR is usually lower than the team RR. That's bad batting in T20s. With Rahul out of form, Rohit taking time to settle, India is losing it in the first 10 overs.

 

[Champ_Pal]

He is not a baby that people need to talk to him and console him after losing his captaincy. He is approaching mid 30's in age and wants hugs and sympathy from others. Signs of a mentally weak individual.

 

[rhony]

You can tell that there is a rift between Kohli and Rohit. I suspect Dhoni is the middle man. Have you ever seen a player so active in the press that's not a captain? Kohli was in the news for the entire tournament. First about mental health, then about his own captaincy etc.

He is following his idol Dhoni. Just milk the money till they boot him out eventually. Dhoni was done in 2014. But he played for 5 more years just to have his Dhoni brand running.

Sad to read. I never liked Rohit Sharma, for me is a flat track bully, nowhere near Kohlis talent.

Kohli should retire, he is very rich and shouldnt allow his career to nosedive in such a huge way.

Kohli can then become Pakistans batting coach

 

[Mobashir]

Should not look to playing these kind of shots. Just go for a not out fifty to boost the average.

 

[Saj]

What's interesting is how rarely he goes up to Sharma to offer advice or suggestions when they are fielding.

I always thought they were friends and close.

 

[Mobashir]

Why did he try that shot? He can't bat fast at the start and he knows it after about 13 years in international cricket.

He has scored runs in finals and semifinals of t20 also won two MOTS in world cup.

I used to take you seriously but this comment explains to me that you use no logic and are just here for trolling.

 

[RamLakhan]

The only positive out of this Asia Cup is probably Kohli's form. Let's see how it carries further...

 

[Champ_Pal]

I am a huge critic and borderline hater of Kohli, but got to say, the man is back. Its all about confidence and he tasted blood now. He is back to being a hunter again. Good signs for T20 WC.

 

[Saj]

Today's hundred by Virat Kohli is his first century in international cricket since scoring 136 against Bangladesh in a Test match at Kolkata on 23rd November 2019, 1021 days ago.

Naahh...both are not same.
Babar at peak struggling even against Afg. Out of form Kohli tournament leading run scorer.
Babar at peak won Zero MOT's. Kohli at peak own two WC MOT's back to back.

Happy for Kohli. One of the GOAT batters of LOIs.

We know the player that he is. One of the greatest batsmen in history and one of the most iconic cricketers ever. A megastar.

A far better batsman than anyone in Pakistan history.

This particular knock reinforces the point that opening the innings in T20Is is much easier than batting at 3 or other positions.

If he batted at 3 today, he wouldn’t have done any better than a 70 (50).

One innings as opener and he has put Babar and Rizwan in their place, who have it very easy by getting a free run as T20 openers.

If Kohli was selfish like Babar and interested in personal milestones, he would have opened in T20I cricket throughout his captaincy and would have notched up several hundreds.

Nevertheless, in spite of batting at a tougher position than Babar, he has had a vastly superior T20I career and dominated multiple World T20s.

By far greater choker then many Pakistani greats too. On topic an excellent innings. He played wonderfully in a nothing game. No one denies him being the greatest t20 bat. Good to see you after yesterday humiliation which Naseem delivered to you.

 

[BOBO4393]

Why did he try that shot? He can't bat fast at the start and he knows it after about 13 years in international cricket.

You try to compare with him Babar,No doubt Babar is one of the greatest batsman of Pakistan cricket team but Kohli is cricketer on the decade and peak Kohli decimated and dominated every attack in t20's too,Won 2 back to back icc motm,Won a many matxhes single handely, Throughout the career he played at number 3 in t20 still has insane 50+ average in t20 with striket rate of around
140 , While your world's best player opens in t20 cricket still has 129 strike rate ,Check his carrer strike rate in slog overs it's around 185+ ,You peak babar can't even dominate poor bowlers in his best innings he hardly cross 135+ strike rates ,Be happy that you have world class batsman but kohlis is greatest Loi batsman ,You are filled with hatered agaisnt him .

Agree with the female cricketer. There’s no denying that Kohli is one of the greats. Just a random observation which I shared

 

[Anis Shivani]

The world of cricket has moved past Kohli just as it has moved past Imad Wasim, Ahmad Shehzad, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, and all the other have-beens who have come out of the woodwork to praise his "resurrection." I guess Afghanistan did their usual ramp up to wildness when playing Pakistan and roll over for India. Take out your second earbud when speaking to SSA, buddy.

Not denying Kohli's greatness but lol at the tweets. ***, it was a century against Afghanistan in Dubai

I’ve waited for this day for very long. Didn’t get to watch the match but very happy that Kohli got his century.
