Proves that when your management/captain believes in your abilities and talent and make you bat at right spot, ultimately you will deliver when it matters the most…:Tiringa
Re: Virat Kohli.....
Ganguly:183 in 1999. Captain:2000
Dhoni:183 in 2005. Captain: 2007
Kohli:183 in 2012. Captain: Very Soon?
Kohli has so much fire in him ... we used to have players with his temperament...
Re: Virat Kohli.....
dhoni is very lucky for india i think they will keep him
Re: Virat Kohli.....
He is the face of Indian Cricket.
Re: Virat Kohli.....
What a brave, fearless batsman, reminds me a little of Sehwag in his demeanor. Though I lost a little bit of respect for him when he started pumping his fist and screaming like a banshee at achieving 100. Arrogant much? I suppose thats okay, when you are in such good form esp against Pak, nazakat aa hi jaati hai.
Re: Virat Kohli.....
He is the next in line in class of Ponting, Lara, Tendulkar

Re: Virat Kohli.....
Virat Koli is a class act. The best young batsman in World cricket..........
Has Pakistan got anything like him in their team?

he has a fire in him ... fire....
have you seen his face..he will burn & destroy anything that comes between him and a win....
.that is what makes you special and very difficult to beat...and that is the attitude you need to become the very best.....
do we pakistanis even know these days what that fire means....
it is cut-throat out there.....
I love when I have to face competitors like Kohli...kill their ego, destroy their confidence, play mental games with them, give your 200% or people like kohli will simply eat you...let me tell you, you want to beat kohli, hit him hard by focusing 200%....you get above him 2 or 3 times, he will start to fall down...i hope wahtmore helps pakis to play psychological games against competitors like kohlis...
Re: Virat Kohli.....
When Kohli was on ~ 146, the commentator with Rameez Raja went on and on abt how bad it is for kids to watch the way Kohli celebrate. He promptly hit a 4 to reach 150 and went on quietly abt his business.
I think each player is unique, with his own emotions and reaction to having reached a milestone. Some let out steam by pumping fists violently, some raise their bat, so gently ackolwdge - there is no riht or wrong way (unles one goes out of the way to disrespect the opposition).
Re: Virat Kohli.....
^kohli himself is just a 23 year old kid. so what if he has aggression? nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand we have players we love to label....not doing justice to talent....they have attitude...they wear shoes that are color other than white....they need to sit out to teach them a lesson....they need to NOT bat at position where their talent gets utilized... the list goes on and on.
Re: Virat Kohli…
23 years old & already averaging 50+ in 85 ODIs with 11 hundreds
could play for another 12-15 years

you do have a point nikema ... i think you are referring to ahmed shehzad .. but the key is to back your attitude with performance...warna you become a "hejra"...

That comment by Ramiz wasn't appropriate.

I am not just talking about Shahzad......Umar too, in early 2010, an indian friend of mine asked me about UA and Virat and by then I have seen very little of Virat and he had seen little more of UA and I told him that right now, Umar seems to be more talented of the two but Virat has all the spark that I look for in a player and great players have and I (back then) told him that in 5 years of time, Virat would end up being a better/polished batsman than UA as Virat's team/management/captain would utilize his talent and even if he fails a bit, they will persist with him and give him the opportunities and batting spot that he deserves and he would end up being better player than UA.....My friend told me that he didnt agree with me as he thought UA has more strokes, better front and back foot attack than Virat....but I kept on insisting what I believed in.....we are only about two years into my statement and he is currently gone to India...But I bet when he comes back he will tell that I was right with my assessment.

This is one of the main reasons we see Indian batsmen more confident and less worried about their place in the side.
