[VIDEOS] Virat Kohli's decline

He has played Just one series against Pakistan, can you show us what he did in it ?

He was very lucky that from 2019 onwards there was less cricket and odi's otherwise his average would have been around 50.

That is his bad luck that he had only one series against Pakistan otherwise he would have owned Pakistan like he always does in T20Is & his ODI stats would have been even better.

Kohli struggled in the 2013 ODI series but before & after that series, he has always had a psychological impact on Pakistan. Even when he is out of form, he is able to find a way to score against Pakistan.

Lack of bilateral cricket between India & Pakistan has deprived him of thousands of runs.

Can you contact ICC and ask them to add those runs to Kohli ?
He has played some fine innings but also has his faire run of failures.
The 2013 series is an ultimate failure. Same for the champions trophy final even after the drop.
2009 champions trophy, 2011 world cup.

Kohli has dominated Pakistan no matter how you look at it. Dominance does not mean you have to score every time, but Kohli has performed against Pakistan more often than not.

If you want to look at someone who has been a total failure in Pakistan vs India matches, you don’t need to look beyond Babar who has been an epic failure against India apart from one match.

He has played India 9 times & failed 8 times. Babar has not had 0.1% the impact Kohli has had in Pakistan vs India matches.
 
Virat back in form in another format. Current on 113 from 90 balls. Hit his first century in the ODI format since August 2019

Hurts to say this, but he is spoiling his legacy in Test cricket.
 
Getting out caught behind the leg side to a leg-side ball. :salute

Both Pujara and Kohli gifted their wickets.
