Kohli Test Average

[Thala_0710]

Think he’d have to average like ~30 (assuming 10 innings and dismissals) to drop below 47

Yeah in the Excel ss I put up, it comes out to < 313 runs (assuming 10 outs) for a < 47 avg

He is fairly well short of it and it is a fair reflection. He is a very very good bat but not an ATG great. Indian great, yes.

lol from google at least - stats from 2016

.... Faf's wife must've taken his legs it seems...

Either too much of something.... or not at all.

I mean he’s pretty on track, but he’s got the one not out. Guess it needs to be 283 runs.

Fun stat:

Kohli 100*, 4 other innings = 26 runs
Smith 101, 4 other innings = 23 runs

Jaiswal 161, 5 other innings = 32 runs

Future great Jaiswal imo, following in their footsteps.

edit: Actually can only be 9 innings so 253 for Kohli.

He's a very good batter who had an elite ATG year (2018)

abit like Mitchell Johnson but obviously better

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Looks like he will finish below 47

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Also, will he reach 10K?

I think he finishes in their next home summer. May miss out. Will finish with an average in the 46s.

Might reach 45s the way he is going. If he has a shocker in England as well.

Yeah not impossible. If he's dismissed 15 more times from here on at an average of 26.5 or less, he will sink into the 45s. If he's dismissed 20 more times from here on at an average of 31.5 or less, he will sink into the 45s.

England don't have as accomplished an attack as before so you never know, but that push way outside off stump with ageing eyes v experienced bowlers in the conditions will likely get him in trouble.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He averages similar to Zak Crawley this decade. He is done. Will get the odd good innings but he is a busted flush.

@GIMH he just called Crawley a busted flush. Gettem

Nice.

Johnson the better batter.

 

[we're yorkshire]

Hard to see any way he gets back up to 50. In the past 5 years, he's only averaged 30 once.
If he's out another 25 times he'll need to average 69 per dismissal.
He's more likely to finish averaging 45 than 50

 

[Qlder]

Kohli average down to 47.43. If he gets < 20 next innings he drops below Kevin Pietersen (47.29)

he dropped below Kevin Pietersen

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hashim Amla at 46.64 the next great batsman Kohli is targeting. Guy is breezing past these milestones with ease.

Really pissed as Kohli. What a waste of elite abilities to end up in the 40s. I thought this guy had more pride to push his record forward. Feel completely let down by his approach.

For those with 5,000+ runs

Bill Lawry 47.15 is just below Kohli
Clive Lloyd 46.67 then Amla.
Imagine Pakpassion if Kohli drops below tuk tuk Misbah's 46.62!
