Were we wrong about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma?

[mominsaigol]

These 2 were frequently mocked throughout the tournament but they came through for india when it mattered most.

Great credit goes to bumrah as the MVP as well. However rohit and kohli made the game in the semi's, finals and played a hand at eliminating australia the only team who wouldn't have lost a final.

what were you ever right about?

If kohli did not hang around one end India would not have scored 176. Indians need to respect their legend. What a player

Kohli is basically not a T20 player but he has the great fundamentals so he can dominate any attack when he is in good nick. Rohit is a great hitter but again with age, the hand eye coordination starts to go down so there are more misses than hits. But the gameplan was never for Rohit or Kohli to hang around for too long . The gameplan was to score as much off the PP as possible. But SA spoiled that by getting Pant and Sky out cheaply and Kohli had to play the kind of cricket he is most comfortable with

Nope. Doesn't change the fact that both are past their prime in this format and should be making way for younger players.

Kohli has already retired because he knows it. Rohit might have 2026 in mind.

LOL Rohit almost always delivers when it matters. Plus he seems like a good leader.

the former Australia cricketer Michael Hussey wasn’t bothered with Rohit and Kohli’s form and expects them to find their batting rhythm soon, he said:

“We've seen it so many times to ride off champion players..pundits come out and say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no good anymore. I mean, that's just ridiculous. They're legends, legendary players. They're proud players. If you write them off, you're just going to end up having egg on your face, because they will perform well again. They're too good not to. I think it's silly to write them off and write off the Indian team as well. It's just not in my vocabulary,”

Kohli coudln't win many much when he was at his absolute peak. But he is winning when he is on his last legs.

That is nonsense lol Axar and Dube played bigger role in that. Kohli used the same logic in 2023 world cup. Look what we got in return. He told KL Rahul that "pitch is sluggish" and asked him to take time forgetting the fact under lights it will become a batting beauty. India needed an above par score. With that approach INida put up a below par score.
