Am I fair in saying Kohli isn't all that great against spin? Doesn't have a sweep shot which severely limits his scoring ability. He played slog sweep well against Lyon during that famous Adelaide knock but for whatever reason, he has eliminated the stroke in its entirety from repertoire.

And I would laugh my balls off if England wins the last game and Australia somehow sneaks in to final (assuming India wins this one).

You are fair in saying that Kohli isn't great against any bowling in knockout matches.

Massive lol at certain posters taking a dig at Gujarat . Bumrah, Pujara, Axar Patel , Jadeja are all from Gujarat unlike Kerala which never produces even half decent cricketer and elects mental basket case negative IQ politician Rahul Gandhi.

Listen I'm Gujarati but 1) this dry state thing is stupid and I'm bitter about it everytime I go back, and 2) the politics are messed up (though probably not worse than any other state).

Dry state is because it is birth place of Mahatma Gandhi who was against alcohol intoxication.

And I am only pointing out to those people who used phrases like it's Gujarat and having a go at state.

This Indian batting line up can't play
1. Spin bowling
2. Swing bowling

Then what exactly is our batting coach doing? You never feel confident about this Indian batting on any pitch which is not flat.
Even 90s Indian team had a better batting line up.

I think batting lineups in general are struggling more than 10-15 years ago. Partly it's because a lot of once-in-a-generation batsmen came around the same time. Back then, people were worried about lack of ATG fast bowlers, and now there's some excellent ones going around. It just comes and goes in phases.

Genuine question, do you post **** about Kohli because you seriously don't like him or is it because of easy way to get few likes on this forum? Are you seriously hinting he is a mediocre player?

It’s nothing to do with being Indian or coaching. Batsman don’t play a lot of First Class Cricket outside the Tests and don’t hone their skills. The England line-up struggle against top class bowling on any pitch that’s does a bit extra whether it’s seam or spin.

Kohli is like SA team of 90s . Looks excellent on paper, has very good record but never delivers in crunch situations.
