Cricket match prediction discussions

[savetheFORUM]

In order to regain form before the Asia Cup and the T20 world cup, BCCI selectors want Virat Kohli to play 3 ODIs against Zimbabwe. A failure there will not force him to retire. With the money these players are earning, cricket must be a cruel game. The most important thing is that you are involved in advertising, and they want you to play even if you don't perform. Based on his past performance, how many days can he survive? Several young players are waiting to make their debut in the team, so why don't selectors ignore Virat? In fact, avoiding him is very difficult.

LOL.. so the selectors are saying that Virat Kohli is capable only against weak teams such as Zimbabwe? He is 33 years old and I don't expect him to retire anytime soon. Dhoni went on playing international cricket well in to his late 30s, without becoming a burden to the team. If Kohli can contribute, then I don't see any issues in him playing for India until 2026-27. But he needs to focus on his game. Even now, when he is out of form, I don't see him participating in any domestic cricket tournaments (either in India or outside).

There is no doubt Virat Kohli is one of the best batsman in current era but in last three years he lost his form badly, and they are not doing anything for this like we just check few players are retiring from few formats as they are feeling burden and with this they can do some better why in Virat Kohli case it's not, not happening.

He can announce his retirement from ODI and t20i for having some better concentration in test matches and just IPL because it's all about money hopefully this can give him some better touch, and he can play for India long time, but deadlock is on and nothing is positive happening in this case for BCCI and Virat Kohli.

Isn't it strange that he retired from the shorter format of the game but will keep on playing the shortest format IPL?

Anyways even if he retires from international cricket, he will be playing IPL for many years. Also when you have no pressure from the Int. cricket, sometimes you may perform well in the domestic cricket or franchise-based formats.

Kohli performance has gone down after his marriage - I believe he has started believing he is a bollywood star too and he must focus on his looks and career rather than his performance - I have seen one of the interviews where he said he will not eat pakora because he has achieved his fitness after huge struggle - but where did his performance go - time to eat pakora now.

In India, there is a saying. Get woke, go broke. This is exactly what happened to him. Everything was going well until his marriage with that Bollywood actress. After marriage, he got addicted to woke culture and started advising Indians against celebrating their festivals and doing BS such as Black Lives Movement. Hardik had the same issue. But he realized it before it was too late and the results are out there for everyone to see. Virat needs to make a choice now. Either he needs to focus on cricket, or he needs to retire and take up a role with Bollywood. You cannot stand on 2 boats together for a long time.

I don't think Bollywood will accept him as retired cricketer, they only need cricketers that are playing in squad. Kohli has been given so many chances and he wasted everyone of it. BCCI has made a good choice of dropping him from squad, he must go and regain form in domestic cricket.

Kohli needs rest. And since he has been out of form for almost 3 years, Kohli should now perform in the domestic leagues. Or hope to return to form by performing against relatively weaker teams. Kohli is a talented and classy batsman no doubt about it. He is out of form probably due to mental problems. So personally I think he needs rest.

That's the honest oponion. Kohli hasn't scored any century for last 2 to 3 years. There is no harm in going back and playing domestic cricket. There are more then 30 teams in Indian domestic setup and kohli can get some good help by playing quality cricket.

This is the first time i am hearing about mental problems to Virat Kohli. Not sure whether these are true, i do agree that he needs some rest but to regain his composure he needs to keep on playing to find the rhythm. He is showing weakness and may be because he is not able to concentrate like before and i believe one good innings and he will be back in form like he used to play in the past.

At one time Kohli was very popular as a player Audiences became very popular with him for his ground-shaking play.But currently Kohli is performing very badly. His popularity is almost non-existent now.The reasons behind his poor performance are well understood.Many say that his game has gone down a lot because he married a Bollywood actress.Maybe this is the reason. And he doesn't perform as well as he used to. Nothing can be properly grasped without practice.

I don't understand what Kohli's performance has to do with marrying a Bollywood actress. Have we yet seen a player who played well his entire career, never having a bad performance? Or has he ever gone through a bad time? Kohli has been a very consistent player. Suddenly his performance deteriorated. I think this is because of Kohli's overconfidence. If he is more diligent then maybe he can return to form.

There is no logic to talk about Kohli and his wife. As it refers to his personal life. However, Kohli has not been able to get rhythm on the field for many days. I think he needs to break from the main squad for a few days. I think a little break may bring him back to his previous place. Just remember that performance in cricket is not always would be the same.

For some reason, I believe Virat Kohli is inclined to be a very bad actor if he does end up giving up his cricketing career. We have seen a lot of players trying to get into acting. But those didn’t end up being a success for anyone. Those movies which were made by cricketers did not have any success at all.

Therefore, I think he should also avoid taking the same path, trying to make a career for which he is not known. And if he tries to opt for acting just because his wife is an actor, that would be a big mistake made by him. But I still think that his career in acting would be better than what he is doing right now in cricket .

....When Kholi was dating his gf - their dance videos used to get viral . . he is a good dancer and have amazing acting skills.
He thinks he is better in bolly wood than his wife. And doing the campaign like BLM and clean air was not his cup of tea. He just ruined his career

Agreed, there is nothing to make a connect his cricketing career and performance with his personal life. Everyone needs break, and Kohli might be feeling bad to go on a break. Because, whenever a player in good form takes a break automatically people start discussing that the specific player have been sent out in the name of injury for his bad performance. Anyhow, just on his name he have got so many chances if it is someone else surely the management would've replaced with another player.

We are living in the Third World, and we don't need any logic to talk about any person's life or wife because we have no manners we are talking about game so better we need to focused at this, but sadly we have few bad minds those want to do these tactics for having spicy part with sports. Which is surely never been allowed because now we need to change mindset and having some better values in life and game.

If Kohli is not performing after marriage surely he needs to do change strategy or something else with this all surely he can do better and having good future in this game but now blaming and trying to go beyond limits is surely not allowed at any forum for any person.

Kohli is a cricketer and no body is giving bad remarks about his personal life. He married a Bollywood star and since then his performance is not good and main reason is he is focusing on things like acting and dancing. If kohli wanna come back to team then he surely need to perform well.

It is wrong to comment on his personal life. But the problem occurs when his personal life starts having an impact on his professional life. I don't know whether Bollywood influence has impacted his game for sure. But he needs to work on it now. Kohli has refused to admit that he is in trouble. Despite being out of form for 3 years, he hasn't taken any steps to regain form. I understand his hesitation in playing Indian domestic cricket. But why can't he play a few county games in England? At this point, players such as Cheteshwar Pujara, Washington Sundar and Umesh Yadav are playing for various counties.

This is strong point he has done nothing for improving his performance and still giving poor performance and with this suggestion he can take part in English Domestic season for having some practice and regaining his performance is not bad at all because this works for many players in past as well here BCCI is also can help him as they release him from International duty, and he joins any county where things could be in positive mode for his future and game.

With this all he is also never interested in Indian domestic season is also a big question mark why this hesitation because this is also good for his game and future but ignoring all positive ways is never been good for any player like him.

Virat Kohli must feel like he is downgrading himself if he plays for domestic seasons right now. I think the main reason why he is not willing to do that is because of his ego. He has not performed well for a long time and we know even before his marriage they had a lot of drama simmering on between themselves. And that has also had some impact on his professional career but obviously, that was not worth much notice. But right now Virat Kohli seems to be so busy with his personal life that he doesn't seem to be giving enough time to his professional career. And this is the result of that.

I never have things like this in last few decades what is in mind of Kohli and selectors of BCCI about his future because three years is surely enough for any person to give up or do some better, but he is hanging around and no one trying to give him any lesson in this all which is surely wired. If he wants to live good personal life then surely he needs to step down from team and enjoy this all which he already achieves but here no giving up and still no performing is absolutely joke even he is not interested in domestic games just because of his ego and stopping ways of many youths is also not good for him and these youths.

If selectors waiting for World Cup is Australia then surely they are going to lose this as well because they are going with players not in good touch and stopping ways of players those are in good touch.
