Kohli Test Average

[danzydab]

will turn 36 in november, probably 2 years of test cricket left for him.

 

[h_hurricane]

He should target to end up with an average below Laxman. It will be some effort but he has enough willpower to get there.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He has gone, his average is plummeting and will continue to. Been a great player but probably not worth his place now.

Has Kohli said hes gonna retire soon?

Wish he would

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wish he would

Unlike the other old men in the side who still perform he isn't and hasn't for years. In the side on reputation alone now.

 

[Zinzan]

Clearly <50

 

[Silver Silva]

He can do it, and I think he knows what is required ..There is 4 tests at home to Bangladesh and New Zealand respectively, he has to score some big hundreds .

 

[Daemon]

Probably won’t given he’s a candidate for retirement soon. Will be surprised if this isn’t his last Test season tbh. One final shot at the WTC.

He’s thereabouts with Root and KW who are both slightly ahead. At best he gets to par with them if he has a very good BG and Eng series.

 

[GirthQuake]

Unless forced out, Kohli is not going anywhere for the next 3 years.

 

[Johan]

I honestly think he'll hang it if England and Australia don't go well, that's a BIG test, if the collective averages of those serieses are mid 30s and one hundred or none, I think he'd retire after India loses the next WTC final to Australia.

 

[sayon basak]

Tough to predict but looks unlikely. Smith and Williamson are the only ones who should end above 50 for sure.

And also Brook above Root?

 

[kevinw]

And also Brook above Root?

Brook will not average more than Root. Not unless he starts valuing his wicket.

 

[sayon basak]

Brook will not average more than Root. Not unless he starts valuing his wicket.

When I said that, I didn't mean it. PC knows what I'm talking about and that's what matters.

 

[GirthQuake]

I cannot recall who it was but one (or two) of Kohli's groupies - @CodeOfWisden or that luffie boi - were arguing adamantly against me how Kohli's ''form'' in South African tour means his average is not going to drop and that he'd overcome his lean '''patch''.

Lmao

Kohli's average (47.83) just dropped below 4 Australians. Neil Harvey, Doug Walters, Bill Ponsford and Stan McCabe. About to drop below Gilchrist (47.60) as well

A lesser batter than Dilip Vengasarkar.

 

[ashley bach]

It's going down as fast as Ajit Agarkars

 

[Victor Ian]

Forget his average. Does Kohli have one more big one in him to extend his lead in most highest scores. That is his legacy.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He averages under 32 this decade. Busted flush.
