Virat Kohli - The Mega Discussion

137185.jpg
 
Brilliant batting and very well paced innings but when he got to hundred he swore loud and hard instead of thanking heavens dat was bad but wel played
 
this is the guy who will play a vital role in india's middle order after tendulkar etc retire.
 
He acted as if he got shot when he scored a 100!

Needs to control his mouth, so many women and children watching!
 
Great knock, but he should stop being a 'wannabe' bada$$. Tries hard to swear lol, never seen any batsman celebrate a century with a swear.
 
Lovely batsman to watch, plays some really nice shots.

Feisty but if that's his personality, so be it.

Well it suits to some guys like Harbhajan, Akhtar etc. but to me it seems he tries quite hard to look real bad.
 
He can be a handy part-time ODI bowler too, who can break partnerships from nowhere, like Mudassar Nazar, Ganguly or...

He is one of the most arrogant cricketer I have ever seen. Mediocre player in alien conditions and accumulator in Indian conditions. The way he behaves after scoring 50 or 100 seems like he has conquered everything and he is the biggest player ever walked on earth. In simple terms-----1 number ka FUKRAA.

Guy is passionate about his game. And I don't think he is a mediocre player at all looks like a really good bat.
 
Why does he feel the need to abuse the billions of sisters across the world whenever he takes a catch/gets to a milestone/gets a wicket/does anything? :malik

Immature behavior. He will be at loss because of this attitude. Being aggressive is fine, but to whom, when and in what manner - these things also matter.

No point in going after the spectators. Players don't gain anything from that.

He needs to learn this soon.

thnx for sharing Gabbar bhai.....

But it's true that Virat is a bit too emotional @ times, our selectors are looking at him as a future captain, don't know how will that work out!
 
He needs to control his tongue, he get's away with his galiyan against english speaking teams but against Pakistan for instance he might not get away this easily.

he is delhi brat... those from up north usually have gaalis in their mouth even while greeting friends :))) yuvi, bhajji , gambhir are all the same just control it a bit better but you can see their hot headed temprament rise time and again. ishants the only one who seems different from the others from north

yes he is going overboard a bit but its difficult to change your daily nature when abusing even while greeting someone is the daily norm

I would have to agree with you completely here..
Me being from up North and especially lived with the Punjabis for a considerable amount of time...
Can't change your basic nature...as long as its not affecting your game...
 
his 'aggression' comes across as incredibly wannabe-ish and fake.

Isn't fake for sure. Have met him at a function and the guy is abusive even in his normal life like any other teenager born and brought up in Delhi.

As cif said it's not fake, but it's certainly foolish behavior. He won't go far with this kind of attitude.

He shows unnecessary aggression which is waste of energy. He often shows aggression to wrong set of people and at wrong time. At this time he is enjoying his batting. He will reach a stage in his career when things won't go great for him. In those case, his mentality of losing himself will hurt him.

He needs to learn quickly if he wants to succeed. Yuvraj was like him during initial days, but he changed a lot and it reflects in his game.

If he wants to remain aggressive then he should learn from Ganguly who didn't act like a fool.

If you sledge opposition to disrupt their concentration, then it's different thing. But if you abuse crowd for no reason and without any advantage then it's just immature and unacceptable behavior.

He's been a success, when i watched him in Under 19s i really didn't think he would make it large but kudos to him for turning things around through nothing but sheer hard work and determination

So he's already got a big head, won't be long till he falls back on his ass then...
 
His aggression isn't fake like Sreesanth's but Sehwag doesn't indulge in sledging even though he is from Delhi. Youngsters from anywhere round the globe use a lot of abusive words, doesn't matter Del/ Mum/ Chand/Lah/ Kar.......

When folks have plans of making him the future captain he should behave responsibly otherwise will end up as UV

The good thing about Kohli is he backs up his cockyness with hard work. Ponting has been to carry it for 16 years and make himself a legend. I will be very statisfied of Kohli does half of what Punter did. You really don't to win opponents' hearts. The primary requirement is keep doing well for your team.

Guess our game needs these personalities. We really don't have a lot of them these days. Our game is poor

Do you think Sachin Tendulkar tries to win his opponents hearts by behaving well on the field:13:?

If you are that nice and giving such good performances it definitely elevates your character. Those who aren't naturally cool and calm should at least perform good.

All agreed upon. However, no need for Virat Kohli to abuse the opponents.
 
Yea doesn't look good on TV when you are watching with family. I hope someone tells him to cut the abuse and keep the aggression
 
I feel very bad when I see young cricketers who just use abuses to express their happiness. A wicket earned or a hard fought century is a thing of joy and needs to be enjoyed. If this is how the younger generation feels they should enjoy the moment, I just shudder at how the game is going to be played say 10 years from now when everything might be acceptable and abusing somebody's mother or sister would be just normal behavior and not doing so might be looked upon as a sign of weakness.

I would never want my son to be involved with this game (both watching or playing) if that happens.

If I remember correctly, there was an interview with him after the World Cup 2011 where he said that his mother asks him to promise not to abuse ahead of a match.

Aggression does not have anything to do with bad mouthing. Does anyone feel that MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag are not aggresive cricketers?

thats the point his ature is inbuilt like that. Will require time to change.

The earlier yuvi and sehwag were also abusive. Typical north India style.

Dhoni doesnt come from the north so he isnt that expressive.

Also kohli is just a kid not matured enough. Atleast he is getting the runs (primary concern) . Few humblings in sport would shut him up
 
kohli in the form of his life.....

will get called up for the test squad surely,,
raina will have to make way i guess.
i know its all in india but just looking at his shot's he seem's to have them all.
something umar akmal needs to learn. talent is there but putting that talent to use.

right now on the international stage i think his the best young batsman in the world.
 
He has always been this good in ODI's and we all know he can do it in tests as well. I'm pretty sure he'll play the series against West Indies.
 
He has been fine in ODIs. yet to prove himself in tests but should surely get a second chance. Can't judge him by one bad series.
 
I like Kohli alot, but this innings and many at "home" make it seem like he's a FTB.

Even I'm yet to feel totally convinced about him being the next big thing but he did get a 100 in the eng odi series apart from a 50 (i think) - the hundred didn't feature anderson and possibly broad, but a fine knock nevertheless

I know what you mean but he scored big when the series was all but over. Needs to go along way, especially away from home.
 
7 ODI hundreds now in 66 matches :sachin

Certainly one of the best ODI players going around :19: Well done yaar

Congratulations to kohli , he might overtake sachin in number of centuries in one day cricket. Such a wonderful player.
 
I don't like his behaviour at all, but boy he is a good batsman!

Believe it or not but IPL have made him a better LOs batsman!
 
Nah, he's just one of those Indian fans that think everything we say is a negative even if it is common-sense.

LOL. dude i read ur comments, ur always bashing the indians and sometime very childishly. the dude scores a century chasing against a decent bowling attack and ur response is "home".lol. just cuz hes indian doesnt mean u cant respect his talent....
 
Away record is also pretty good although not as good as his home performances

Hes still very young and improving with each passing series just a few incredible away knocks needed from him to seal the "Best Young Batsman Stamp"

Inzi also scored just 2 100s away from home :P

BTW Virat will soon have more ODI 100s than Inzi :)
 
Legend? too early to even call him a decent batsman, unless he starts doing consistently well in tests. Fluffed his chances in WI but hopefully will now get an extended run in test matches.
