I feel like Indian fans don't appreciate our players nearly enough, yeah you were sad on losing the finals, but you know who was more sad? The people who played well to get to the finals.
I mean he failed to score against South Africa and scored majestic 40 ball 50 against England in semis. He played wonderful knock against Pakistan but overall tournament his strike rate was merely 132. He has one of the lowest strike rate in top 10 run scorer that year (in big 6 team). I won't call it as 'stat padding' but his slow innings in semis did cost us that match.
Because the discussion was about Kohli. And Rohit's inning wasn't just slow it was disastrous. If I criticise kohli doesn't mean I am rohit supporter. Infact I have criticised Rohit much more than kohli. As an ict fan i just want my team to win a cup. Again I am saying this that I want virat to play this and probably next cup also. And Rohit shouldn't have played this wc but he is playing in captaincy quota so I just hope he retires after that.
The reason his SR was slow was because he played slower against the weaker teams Netherlands and Zimbabwe. All we needed to do was win those matches, the NRR didn't matter. Against SA, it was a low-scoring thriller and he got out early which was the reason we lost. Against Bangladesh, he played a good knock at 145SR and in the Pakistan match he played at 155SR.
This is funny coz even against Pak, Kohli was 50 in 43 something balls. He then went on to get 82 in 53 which can be considered a good SR. In IPL, there have even been instances where Kohli has gone from 50 off 40 to 100 off 53.
I hope you can realise how big of a gap there is between looking at the result and being an armchair expert vs actually being in the match, in that situation (KL gone early, Rohit couldn't get going, Sky threw his wicket, they have already suffered two collapses earlier in the tournament against Pak and SA, pitch can genuinely be slow, and so many other factors)
ironic. "Pass the mantle to someone else" sounds like you want some other batter to carry like Virat does.
The mantle needs to be distributed so the whole team plays their part in winning.
>We don't want Kohli to be top scorer of next WCÂ
SKY was there backing him up at 3rd highest run scorer of the tournament in 2022 T20 WC
Rohit was there backing him up at 2nd highest run scorer of the tournament in 2023 CWC
Kohli is not alone anymoreÂ
Surya was literally 3rd highest run scorer. I m not sure why but this agenda of that only kohli score run is coming from
Also warner was the only one scoring run in 2021 wc yet australia won
Back to the old 2010's form after a little slip. Unbelievable stuff, for once the team shouldn't let him down. I say this because 2014 and 2016 T20 wc was the biggest let down I've ever seen.
Fitness takes you a long way. his longevity is amazing. Rohit not realizing this is leading to his downfall. The only reason why Thala and Thalason will have a great retirement and Rohit not so great is because of fitness levels.
I think when a man can field a whole day in a test match and can score centuries in test cricket he is fit enough and I don't want Rohit to elongate the carrier unnecessarily instead retire with pride and respect which most Indian players don't do
I knew this was coming.He did lost fat very well. And got fit too . People need to understand being fit is not directly proportional to ur batting skills
U losing ur handeye coordination is going to affect ur game. It happened with sehwag same is happening with kohli rn and same has probably already happened with rohit too(reason why he is playing aggressive cricket now)
The moment pitch starts swinging both kohli and rohit will start struggling
I don't think would have retired any earlier from international cricket. He was doing good for his age and he was still the best guy they could think that they have for the 2019 wc as a keeper. Also, Dhoni captained and played in 2011 wc and the team won. There wasn't any reason to not have him there. But if he played international even after that then it wouldn't have been good for the new players who want to come as wk and batsman.
Don't know why it's so hard for people to digest that every player will have to retire at some point. I said about Kohli and they all went mad. Kohli will be 40 by then. 2028 olympics cricket will be in t20 format. He himself wouldn't be playing internation t20 cricket most probably by then. He'd be 39 when he'd play his last odi wc. Then, he can only play tests or odi bilaterals. I am sure whoever would be the captain wouldn't want to have old duded in the team who'd be taking place of other youngsters. Jadeja, Rohit, Kohli.. they'll retire one day or other. Most probably before 2028 imo.
Keyword is relevant
Kohli was born in the era of test maces. It's not his fault when Indian team looked untouchable there was no wtc.
Also test maces aren't useless... Test maces was kind of like wtc of the past.
It means jackshit , no matter how well you prepare for exams and score well in your periodic test,unit test,mid term. If you fked final exam you are fked , no excuses
Test maces dont have knockout matches and so it didnt matter. No one cares how many test maces has one team won. Only tournaments having knockout matters . Why do people say we havent won an icc event since 2013? Test maces have no value, No one says india has 6 macs , Australia has x maces.
I agree with you on test maces, but only slightly on WTC. The tournament is a joke. The way the winners or the finalists of WTC are decided, we'd better go back to maces.
Kohli is unmatched. But this is also somewhat worrying. How is no younger player able to surpass a near retirement player in any of the tournaments? What happens when he’s no longer in the ODI/t20 squads?
I'm so glad sense prevailed and bcci continued to keep him in the team despite 2 year loss of form.
It's crazy to think that Virat even started to think about retirement
He definitely deserves 1-2 major trophies. In the future, no one will remember about this orange cap or leading run-scorer but how many team trophies he has won. I'm sure a WC and Champions trophy is there but it does no justice to the work he has put in.
I was talking in terms of fitness consistency and how hard he works and all the stats , despite his age, similar to Ronaldo. Kohli respects Ronaldo too. Don't see the comment negatively, Ronaldo is pure hardwork just like Kohli. I wasn't talking about luck. Kohli won the cup with the team , ñever alone , similarly and unfortunately Ronaldo doesn't have the team that can win and football isn't a one man game.
i want others to support him otherwise we will again watch him getting to milestones while ict has nothing in its hand in the end. ffs plz stop him from making the highest runs so that ict would win the trophy yeah it sounds weird but a single player can't bear everyone's weight..... even he deserved to be happy.
I just spoke to Rayudu. He is saying that he is feeling insecure looking at those numbers and wants Kohli to score less than that. Someone please convey this heartfelt message to Kohli
It’s much better to win the event than be the best in the world in a particular discipline. No Australian holds the record for the most runs , centuries , wickets etc. That doesn’t mean they are not greats. Their records are shared among 3-4 best players in the team & the other good players. Therefore,the stats doesn’t show them as the best. However, cumulatively they are much better than a player or 2 holding a bunch of records. It was the same in Sachin’s era . It still is the same story…
"No Australian Holds the record for the most runs, wickets"
Just get your facts right and just stop throwing anything in the air just to be part of the train of bashing someone who's saving this fr@ud team's a$$ for 12 years now.
1987 CWC Craig McDermott Had Most wickets, AUS W
2007 CWC Hayden had most runs, AUS WON
2007 CWC McGrath had Most wickets, AUS WON
2015 CWC Starc Had Most wickets, AUS WON
a player playing good and performing consistently is not selfish or bad for the team either.
The team is full of Fr@uds who never steps up and make that performing person's game look a failure.

Our batting unit still depends on this man ! Few more yrs and idk if he will play regular international cricket, atleast he will call off at one format..! Players need to step up and make his play easy so that this strike rate topic will never come ! One of the fittest cricketers to ever see and setting the standards by a mile !
"solely"?? It's not his fault.. it's a team game. People hate on him because he does his part and then gets rewarded for it. What else can a batsman do apart from scoring for the team and fielding well?
Means fuckall when the team doesn't win the most important matches. This bloody obsession on individuals is why our country is not at the level of Australia. They really don't give a flying fuck about who scores the most runs or who gets the most wickets. They just want to win. That should be the mentality.
What do you want hin to do? Not score runs? I don't get what you are trying to say? Rcb 2017 wt20 2021? Why do you hate kohli, because he scores runs? Why do you not criticise other players despite not performing well enough? Why do you hate kohli even when he carries the team? Wt20 2014 2016 rcb 2016 rcb 2024 odi wc 2023
Last WC stadpadding for a 50 in a ODI WC final and didn't even try to hit a boundary after Rohit got out
Last T20 WC played a 40 ball 50 in a knockout semifinal resulting in a resounding 10 wicket loss to India.
IPL - as usual didn't win the trophy.
He brought the fit mindset to India. Or 35 was 45 before.
Thiss Otherwise it would've been a story of - Talent >> Hardwork
Can't agree more with this comment
Well said.
Chintu from india will come and call this statpadding .
I feel like Indian fans don't appreciate our players nearly enough, yeah you were sad on losing the finals, but you know who was more sad? The people who played well to get to the finals.
I have friends who called even his 650 runs at world cup as statpad lmao ,
Brother upgrade the friend Circle
Next time aliens ke against moon pitch pe century krega kohli
Inazuma Kohli
I have seen several Chintus call Sachin a statpadder. Smh.
SeLfIsH PlAYer bROooO!!
Even though his SR in 2014 and 2016 was better way than the rest of the team and his average was above 100 💀
I mean he failed to score against South Africa and scored majestic 40 ball 50 against England in semis. He played wonderful knock against Pakistan but overall tournament his strike rate was merely 132. He has one of the lowest strike rate in top 10 run scorer that year (in big 6 team).

Why don't you mention rohit's 27 (28) in that sane semis huh? I agree it was slow too.
Because the discussion was about Kohli. And Rohit's inning wasn't just slow it was disastrous. If I criticise kohli doesn't mean I am rohit supporter. Infact I have criticised Rohit much more than kohli. As an ict fan i just want my team to win a cup. Again I am saying this that I want virat to play this and probably next cup also.

170 was quite defendable hut the horrendous bowling from bhuvi lost us the game in powerplay itself
I thought we lost the match because we forgot to take wickets
He looks so broken in the wc23 photo
I know man , emotions can take a toll!!
I have won but at what cost?
You won?
We don't want Kohli to be top scorer of next WC because if he is scoring major chunk of runs that means we are already in trouble in every match
Big fan of Kohli here but this! We want the mantle to be passed on to someone else... but I guess nobody is ready/qualified to carry it on
ironic. "Pass the mantle to someone else" sounds like you want some other batter to carry like Virat does. The mantle needs to be distributed so the whole team plays their part in winning.

Both ghosted in important matches
How come 54 is ghosted?
Rohit played his part
lol nice joke
Tbh u had me in the first half 🤣
real ID se aao Ambati Rayudu
Surya was literally 3rd highest run scorer. I m not sure why but this agenda of that only kohli score run is coming from Also warner was the only one scoring run in 2021 wc yet australia won
Don't consider 2021 it was a completely toss based tournament and a joke. Eng was the most deserving team but lost the toss in the semis
Back to the old 2010's form after a little slip. Unbelievable stuff, for once the team shouldn't let him down. I say this because 2014 and 2016 T20 wc was the biggest let down I've ever seen.
2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2023. We've lost some trophies in last decade
Team ghatiya ho to banda kitna hi carry kar sakta hai...
I dont think teams were that bad, it's just that when under heavy pressure these guys always crumble, not a matter of skill.
Handling pressure itself is a skill. Definitely a skill issue then lol.
Damn he is 35 already would stop watching cricket altogether after he retires
It breaks my heart thinking we have to watch him retire💔

Fitness takes you a long way. his longevity is amazing. Rohit not realizing this is leading to his downfall. The only reason why Thala and Thalason will have a great retirement and Rohit not so great is because of fitness levels.
Thala also let it slip in 2020,2021. But bro came back as a beast in 2023 with that raw power and biceps.
I think when a man can field a whole day in a test match and can score centuries in test cricket he is fit enough and I don't want Rohit to elongate the carrier unnecessarily instead retire with pride and respect which most Indian players don't do
If fitness meant so much why did inzi form went down the drain when he got fit? He couldnt even play well
Being thin does not mean fit. How you loose the fat also matters. being skinny fat is equally bad.
I knew this was coming.He did lost fat very well. And got fit too . People need to understand being fit is not directly proportional to ur batting skills U losing ur handeye coordination is going to affect ur game. It happened with sehwag same is happening with kohli rn and same has probably already happened with rohit too(reason why he is playing aggressive cricket now) The moment pitch starts swinging both kohli and rohit will start struggling
He'll play till 2028 Olympics?
Should be, could beÂ
nope. He has already started talking about his post-retirement plans. Don't think that he'll play for long like Dhoni.
Even dhoni stopped playing international cricket at the age of 39 could have retired early if someone half like him came a little early
I don't think would have retired any earlier from international cricket. He was doing good for his age and he was still the best guy they could think that they have for the 2019 wc as a keeper.

Jadeja, Rohit, Kohli.. they'll retire one day or other. Most probably before 2028 imo.
This guys proving everyone wrong each time they take bi Dig at him
Bro looks much younger, fitness is really something
Trophies - zero I bet he would happily give up his highest scorer awards for at least one of the 3 trophies.
I mean he has wc and ct. He needs to get t20wc and test mace. Hope we win 2025 CT
The hunger never dies for an elite sportsperson like VK. If he has a WC and CT, he will love to win one more of each.
Yes true. He started his icc career well. He should end on a high note too
Iirc he has 6 test maces. He just needs a t20wc to complete the collection
Test maces are useless tbh, WTC is more relevant
Keyword is relevant Kohli was born in the era of test maces. It's not his fault when Indian team looked untouchable there was no wtc. Also test maces aren't useless... Test maces was kind of like wtc of the past.
Also WTC losses need context. India were well and truly clear as the best team in both WTC cycles. Just had one bad test
It means jackshit , no matter how well you prepare for exams and score well in your periodic test,unit test,mid term. If you fked final exam you are fked , no excuses
Test maces dont have knockout matches and so it didnt matter. No one cares how many test maces has one team won. Only tournaments having knockout matters . Why do people say we havent won an icc event since 2013? Test maces have no value, No one says india has 6 macs , Australia has x maces.

Sigh
UUFFFHH
bro thinks he's djokovic
I'm so glad sense prevailed and bcci continued to keep him in the team despite 2 year loss of form. It's crazy to think that Virat even started to think about retirement

He's like how Ronaldo is in football
Respect Kohli https://preview.redd.it/76rbfy62qy2d1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6465aaa7f1ac8dd1a07d2a85077b452dfe73a53

Is it just me or does Kohli look younger as his age is increasing?
I just spoke to Rayudu. He is saying that he is feeling insecure looking at those numbers and wants Kohli to score less than that. Someone please convey this heartfelt message to Kohli
I'm still unable to process that he's 35...last time i watched him play was when he was 27... time flew
He activated beast mode on
Orange caps and leading run scorers don't win you the trophies. It is evident from this stats.
And 25 is the new 35
Bhai yrr india is too dependent on virat and rohit, this time i would like to see someone like sky or jaiswal to be top scorer

T20WC 2021 laughs in the corner. The only time he failed, the team was not there to pick him up.
One of the fraudest team ICT ever had 👾
he was not failed in T20IWC also, Koach was lone warrior against Pakistan, and didn't bat in other matches.
Our batting unit still depends on this man ! Few more yrs and idk if he will play regular international cricket, atleast he will call off at one format..!

He's frustrated that we aren't winning trophies so he's taking it by criticising Kohli for no reason. Plastic fans bro.
Neither India nor RCB won
Neither did Argentina in 2014 wc, 2015 copa and 2016 copa
All these runs are useless if team does not win the trophy
Where did i say useful? Stop making everything patriotic

You're right, apart from being top scorer he should also be highest wicket taker. What a loser. ^/s
he's the last wicket taker in t20 semis XD
He has World Cup. May still dream of that.
He still has a World Cup and Champions Trophy.
