Nah AB and Kohli's were dumb shots by any stretch of that word.

oh yeah a couple were but its t20 ffs. Most of them were out playing semi-defensive shots
wait how was kohli's a dumb shot. Full ball outside off, tried to cover drive. I'd say ABs is the only seriously poor shot

It does not always work out well for Virat when he drives the very first ball he faces. I think he needs a ball or two even in T20s to sort out his feet movement and ensure he is not playing too away from the body as it is obvious that with his hard hands and snappy wrist work at point of impact, he is much more likely to nick off than batsmen who play the traditional drives.

it's a far cry from "reckless" batting though especially in t20s. They were just completely caught out by an unexpected display of international standard fast bowling

Most expensive bowler for KKR and the 4th best figures in the game. Nothing great imo.

Yeah, I would say more careless than reckless. Differences in degree and all that but AFAIC, it was an opening given by pretty poor shot selection by their 2 best batsmen and then KKR were good enough as bowlers to knock the door down post that.

I think you're in danger of overdoing the "look how **** India's pace bowling depth is compared to Australia" trope now.

Hard to say because he's been out for so long, but to be quite honest I wouldn't be surprised if many considered him not even in the top-10
Hastings, Bird & Pattinson are clearly ahead of him (format dependent however). Do you count Faulkner? Siddle's finished so I wouldn't count him. Personally I'd have a few guys that haven't even debuted like Behrendorff ahead of NCN as well.
Not Stanlake though. NCN is ahead of Stanlake for mine.
No. 7 sounds about right.

No way that is true in T20s. He has been gun in T20 format for a while now. Didn't an injury slow him down or something?

NCN would be close to the LO sides but he's been injured for ages.
