Who will be captain of your team after 5 years

[Johan]

Current Kohli isn't making runs on Indian roads against average ranji bowlers, let alone in England

Bro Bashir and Tongue are not doing anything to Kohli

 

[capt_Luffy]

Same for Kohli

Like SA 23 was 1.5 years ago. He played just 2 Series after that. And his Australia ton>Gill's English ton.

Ok maybe Kohli had another couple, but he's arguably the GOAT touring bat to AUS and great in SA, batting in England is much more difficult for him, even though logically it should be the other way around

I wouldn't trust current Kohli against Root

2018 Series was ATG. Had only two other Series and his last was just meh, not super poor.

You know that Kohli's batting average in the first inns of tests since 2024 is less than Bumrah's?

why should it be the other way around?

He's got much tougher wickets to bat on in SA and AUS

 

[Thala_0710]

It's 5 innings but still come on. It's ridiculous. Look at the other names there.

eh, won't say Aus, 2014 Aus wickets were the easiest he got in his career.

Tbf there's Blundell as well

Still overall balanced out by the last couple of series. He didn't really get minefields in England at any stage.

Almost averages twice as much

2018 was pretty tough. Think every other batsman struggled a decent bit.

2018 was quite hard, 2021 wasn't that different than 2018 and 2020 BGTs too I think.

I mean, I agree it's pretty darn funny, but comeon now it's literally 5 innings. In his complementary 2nd innings he atleast has a century and a 70 odd.

Yeah a bit. Will agree to that. Not really comparable overall to SA though

Yeah he does but **** that anyway. Still annoyed with him for this horrible decline.

Can feel that, especially given Kohli was my cricketing idol growing up.

Mine was Tendulkar but still hurts a lot anyway
