Among all the things to marvel in this test, I thing which should be marvel at is Kohli’s single taking ability! Practically umatched.

#BGT2024 , #Kohli

@manas312002 @cricketingview Slow left arm bowler

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@mipaltan @Jaspritbumrah93 Who is the batter?

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@KP24 That seems a reasonable condition for being called great, but the greatest current english batter Joe root hasn’t got a test ton down under(yet), but is there a doubt on his greatness? No. I feel to be a great player you gotta win matches for your side; home or away:)

@CricketopiaCom Kohli 141 adelaide 2014

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@gurkiratsgill Yes, virat may/may not be suited for wt20, sometimes he might be more defensive than required but he is one of the best t20 players on 160-180 kind of pitches which I believe we will encounter them. Also Cricket needs kohli, yoh cant crack cricket in America without having kohli!

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@cricketingview Rahane’s twin ton in 2015!

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@cricketingview Except shami, they mildly had that during nz

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@AbhijitChavda That being said, Rohit sharma is the biggest game changer in this team:)

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@AbhijitChavda Hi Sir, I do feel that both kohli and rohit needs each other to play like they are playing. Rohit knows that kohli is a banker if at all he gets put early. But if kohli gets out early, rohit would slightly put a gear down like in the eng game. They both are playing their roles:)

@Akshay01shukla @cricketingview Even I believed that too. But if thats entirely correct, how come pitches of Chennai and Ahmadabad of has been rated average?

[Chandra Shekhar @Shekhar0409]

@joybhattacharj Indeed but one thing to notice is that they have been playing at mostly flat conditions..still not tested not maybe slightly difficult batting conditions
