What about runs in test cricket from last 5 years?
The best Sports Channel were we get to hear healthy discussions and accurate facts rather than fake stories. This team of three has to be the best. My sincere gratitude to all. 🙏
ETC ETC GUY ..PLS BE QUITE
He wants to play test cricket , he is waiting for some one from BCCI & chief selectors to ask him to come back
Nik with 2 clowns.. I am more interested to see how these clowns will twist what VK said and how they cover up the things which happened with VK..😅
Bingo on point reporting nik sir ❤❤
Kohli was a walking wicket fishing outside off stump.
Mic accha le lo pehle
Overall in his final phase (2022–2025) Tests: 25 Runs: 1,376 Average: ~33.6 Centuries: 3 The point was He was not appointed Captain again for the england test series which made him retire. He was very sure Anderson will milk him outside off stump.
Kohli being a diva😂 He quit Test cricket because his average was shit and was worried about it dropping to below 40. If questioning was the reason why hasn’t he quit ODI? Why didn’t he want to prove a point in Tests?
And the irony is these 2 kaudi ke test cricketers i.e Agarkar & Gambhir decided the test future of greatest Indian test captain &one of the greatest batter in the history of world cricket Virat.
He left not because he didn't want to fight for his place.. wat he is trying to tell is the dual nature of our team management...they spoke 2 way ...this is the crux
He can comment on anything as his PR...but the reality is he has not performed since 5 years in test cricket.. All PR😂😂😂
Koli is good at PR... He needs to learn powerhitting from 15 year old vaibhav 😂.... I think sanju needs to be picked for 27 World cup in place of this statpadder.. Iske pass na sweep, reverse sweep, scoop, switch hit, hook pull, powerhitting nah hai....hamesha choke kartha hai knockouts mai 🙄
This is an important lesson now for selectors.I am pretty sure they will have a similar conversation with Rohit as they want to try Samson or they might want to try left right combination
The irony of some of the people here calling Gambhir '2 kaudi ke test cricketer' when he was the Test Cricketer of the year in 2010 as a TEST OPENER with a ~50 Batting Average (Test Opening is the toughest role in all of Test cricket, unlike No. 4 position which is the safest position), and who was one of the first to actually face being a 3-format opener alongwith the Pressure cooker situation of IPL Captaincy. All of this actually messed with Gambhir's Test batting, as unlike the flat wicket bashers like Sehwag, Warner etc. Gambhir had to play differently in 3 different formats, which is extremely hard mentally. Following him even Dhawan, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal etc. have all had their techniques messed up due to having to switch from one format to another, often within a gap of less than a week's time. Being a 3-format Opening Batter is the TOUGHEST thing to do as a Cricketer, even more than being an All-rounder imo.
Replaced a player when you had a better or atleast equal level of player Is India really get a good number 3 till today
Virat should have kept playing to score 10000 runs in test cricket and then show the middle finger to all the selectors. History will read he has scores 9200+ runs. No one will remember what selectors told him in Australia after the 1st test and all the other BS. And he was not even dropped. Very sad 😔
Agree, Virat should have stayed on and kept playing. Gone to England. He was wrong not to do that.
BCCI hired Gautam Gambhir, knowing well his relationship with senior players.
