Basically as i understand from your video, Virat is facing 2 issues, first: wildly chasing the 6th+ stumps balls. Second even for the balls in 4th stump moving away from him where he genuinely needs to drive and make runs he is failing to read the line of the ball correctly and due to which he is resorting to this 3 point of contact trigger movement to gradually land in the right line but 3 points of contact are too much to survive and balls ends up taking his edge (his bat coming in from the slips also contributes to this as a straight bat would be better suited to avoid balls leaving the stumps).

This means that the front foot cover drive which is a trademark shot of Virat Kohli, needs to be really considered because with more swing, chances of perfect execution of the shot are much less.
Yep you can also see this with many other batters as well. Everyone has struggled a little after Covid and it has becoming bowling friendly pitches mainly instead of batting friendly.
He scored a 100 against Australia in the series - this shows he still has it in him - the guy just needs some time, I think he will come back but it will be a hard climb, but Kohli has immense talent, if anyone can do it - he can!
i have seen the videos of other analysts as well and they say the same thing.... I think Virat needs to let go off his ego and listen and be open to ideas , drop his GOAT status for sometime and be a student , he has atleast 2 years left in his bank seeing his fitness . I definitely dont want him to be sidelined and getting retired . (pov: Iam a big fan of Virat)
Man he got dropped so many times in 2018 its luck at the end of the day he isnt that great in moving conditions. His luck favored him in 2018 if he was never dropped in 2018 he would a terrible 18 series too
very good analysis and great video! glad to have found your channel. It’s a combination of 2 things. a physical problem; his reflex time has slowed. it doesn’t need to be by much, but at 36 he just can’t react like he did when he was 27. the other problem is mental; he hasn’t got a plan B to compensate for the slowing of reflexes. this is the mark of a true champion. someone who can acknowledge a weakness and find a new strategy late in their career. Steve Smith is 35, only one year younger than Kholi. he too is at the end of his career and can no longer play with the same freedom and flair from 10 years ago. but we saw his 140 during the 4th test of Border-Gaviskar series that was instrumental in Australia’s victory. he has found a way to compensate for the slowing of reflexes. the mark of a true champion. the other factor is pressure. I've never seen Kholi as someone who can stand up when his team needs him. when your back is against the wall. when the stakes are high, when the team needs something special to save a match, he rarely performs. too many World Cup failures for me to rank him amongst the true greats.
thank you and completely resonate with what you have to say except for Kohli under pressure... he's single handedly carried that batting lineup for a solid 2-3 years
4 years of bad test cricket,still team giving him multiple chance. Only if such chances were given to other players in past,who were shown door just after a series of bad cricket.
11:10 Hey Aswin, is 34% to 38% that big of a change? Can you just enlighten me what the sample space was? Like, how many dismissals were caught behind before and after 2020?
Weird how Virat didn't average more than 25 in any format this year and had a lower first inning batting avg than even bumrah in 2024 yet ict fans asked rohit to step down, who has still scored more runs than virat this year with better averages, also to mention no matter how much does his form worsen, he wmstill won't play ranji to improve himself, sachin's last ranji game happened more recent compared to kohli's last ranji game, and no matter how much does hi form dip, he still somehow finds form in ipl and abruptly loses his form the moment international matches continue, yet people nitpick rohit and other players but never dare to question either of these things about kohli, it is as if India winning icc tournaments and bilaterals is less important than kohli being in the team
Rohit Virat Sholud play County Cricket in Australia and England .. As seen from last 2 years they were struggling infront of fast bowlers and bouncy wickets.They are not mentally prepared for these type tough situation above. For Future,they'll be go outside to play domestic cricket in England , Australia.
2:49 He hearly had two hundreds in that first Test {hundred in each innings, I meant} played at Johannesburg. This was the same test match where South Africa almost chased down 460 runs in the fourth innings. He got out for 119 in our first innings playing a loose shot to cover (didn't edge or Nick the ball to the slip cordon; mind you!). He was dismissed for 96 in our second innings {which was of course the Third innings of the match}.
Kohli fans during the last 4-5 years on his performance: Kohli fans during series in Ind after his failures in India Rahane, Pujara,.Rahul too failed they should be dropped. He's failing to spin he likes pace and bounce he'll make a comeback in Aus. He has a great record in Aus. After failure in first innings: in Perth he'll make a comeback scores a 100 coming at 275/2 and no pressure bowlers have all exhausted. Fans be like King is back what a knock etc etc. He's gonna score 4 hundreds he'll repeat his 2014/15 heroics Adelaide is his favorite ground. Fails miserably at Adelaide Fans telling he doesn't have a hundred at Gabba he'll make Gavaskar eat his words. After failure at Gabba He has a good record at MCG he loves large crowds, his altercation with Konstas has pumped him up this is what gets him going so much hype by everyone as he crossed 30 although he has crossed 300 Then claiming Gill failed and Rohit too failed he should be dropped. When someone tells Kohli has failed more in the last 5 years and he needs to dropped as well, no he's a great player he's in a different leageue he can't be dropped. Let's see what happens next in SCG.
I always felt like the biggest issue with Virat was him not developing a nice square cut or a square drive. He did display a bit of square prowess against Pakistan in a t20 wc bit he abandoned it soon after. He feels very prominent all the way from cover to square leg. But he would often try and drive through the cover on deliveries he could cut through the square.
Great analysis mate, it could all so come down to the opposing team hes playing against? He really wants to win every time he plays and he really wants to beat the Australians. However this time the Australians were on to him. Maybe time to change the Indian team?
Along with mindset problem, he's hand-eye coordination has seen a dip. That is also the problem for Rohit. You see in 2018, where he takes longer strides and still used to poke at deliveries bowled at 5th or 6th stump. That time he was quicker in judgement but now he's reflexes are gone. He's much slower while timing the ball.
Virat Kohli is playing for ego now He wants only attention Over aggression Sledging Shouting When smith takes 100 virat goes and congrats him during his celebration To take attention to himself Attitude 100 performance 0
Indian cricket should prioritize developing the next generation of players through our strong domestic structure. With tournaments like Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare, and Syed Mushtaq Ali, we have a rich talent pool ready to be nurtured. Focusing on these players not only ensures long-term sustainability for the national team but also builds depth, enabling India to remain competitive globally. Wasting time and resources on players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have accumulated huge wealth and may not be as invested in performances as they once were, is irresponsible. Their continued selection, despite poor performances, holds back emerging talent who could contribute more to the team's future success. Ashwin, on the other hand, showed great maturity by deciding to retire, making way for fresh talent to step up. His decision was commendable and should be a model for others, as it creates space for the next generation of cricketers. By investing in grassroots cricket and promoting young talent, we can ensure a brighter future for Indian cricket and maintain our legacy.
It's very simple. Virat Kohli can't just leave those balls, he doesn't have scoring strokemaking bar drives, and nowadays when the ball pitches inside or outside off the seamy pitches, yeah he can't even predict it.
Okay can u explain how can he open up his back foot game because during his peak days he used to excess the backfoot shots on the offside, and that enables him to leave the fuller length more?
Freeze frame at 13:25 and at 12:20 the difference is the foot is going down the wicket as against at the pitch of the ball forcing him to cover the line of the ball with his hands. Plays away from his body and nicks it. Simple!
See guys, I really do not understand this concept of weakening of reflexes and movement in late 30s. After all, guys like Rohit and Virat are just 36-37 years of age. Yes, it's a later age for sports, but it is still not as bad as critics are making it look. You go to the IPL, you can see that if a CSK spinner is on, MSD will still knock the bails off at the age of 42-43 just as fast as he did in his 20s. An age of 45-50 is reasonable for this statement, but not late 30s. Plus, if there is a player at the international level, he certainly HAS TO move. That is not a choice given to the player. So if any player is playing at that level, he certainly has the reflexes and movement required. By the way, Virat and Rohit are there in the slips as well, again proving my point.
in reflexes deteriorating in batting it mainly comes down to the eye most people cant avoid it to make up for it they make changes to their movement at crease or stance but that brings a whole lot of problems as you are saying about slips look at raina he is still so fine at some exibition games but he certainly cant bat at int level same for dhoni maybe he can slog few ball but first of all if he batted long enough his knees would give up you see this in other sports too like look at carmelo in his later years or pique and ramos or casemiro
@@Soumik_Mondal_fullstack_dev i get what you say, but guys like Rohit and Virat have not even crossed 40, so "reflexes deteriorating" is not a correct point to make. this has been started by haters, so that they can make the players retire. when you look at it from a neutral point of view, you get that this fact is false, at LEAST before the age of 40
@@VelocityViper-YT do you think they should play more aren't they tarnishing their legacy There was a point where I thought Virat was gonna avg above 50 in test and solidify his legacy as the 2nd greatest batsman for Ind but now I have changed that thought I think his career is parallel of Punter As at their peak nobody could touch them but they played a bit too long so their avg dipped And test is the hardest format of the game And yeah fuck them blind haters don't take this opinion seriously make your standards higher regarding to taking opinions
@@VelocityViper-YT I somewhat agree with you because I remember the time when Sachin sir used to play so well even at 37-38 years old age , obviously he is much more dedicated to this game than any other cricketer. And I think this shows that it all depends on your hunger and patience. This May sound foolish but this is just my perspective
@@VelocityViper-YTit also depends upon eye vision which is most important thing for reflex nd we r also seeing both rohit nd kohli r bit slow in fielding nd dropping some catches which is also becoz of age factor nd u can say sachin was the icc player of the year when was 37 but reflex different from person to person hand eye coordination is the most important thing for a batsman nd both kohli nd rohit not only struggling is Australia pitches they also struggled in home test series if they want to give comeback then they should spend their free time by playing domestic matches which was done by sachin even at the age of 39-40 but here rohit nd kohli spending most of their time only with their family... If they don't respect cricket then cricket don't respect them...
Such long 1/2 step trigger movement is for T20 cricket NOT for test, such trigger movements prepares u to hit 4/6, in test u dont that. . In test u need calm your whole body & only focus on Ball & Hand. Only then u can leave balls. U get to know your stumps only if stay in 1 place for long time. Rohit sharma is also doing the same mistakes
Who thought joe root gonna be the ultimate boss in test cricket and near to break the great sachin record. I wish he break as their will be history in making which we lived.
He made a lot of runs in IPL 2024 on very flat pitches, since then Kohli's batting form has been inconsistent in all formats, 14:08 The attacking nature towards the ball must have been adapted during the IPL when he scored runs so fast. There is a chance that IPL did change his playing style. He got the orange cap as well.
Kohli and Rohit should give retirement. They are not heroes. Pujara and Rahane were ruled out of the team even when they had better performances than these 2. Second Siraj and Pant should be dropped from the team and ask them to play domestic. Otherwise these players think their spot is fix and don't play well
Even we are able to analyse what is the mistake. Can't batting coaches do this obviously they know more than us they have better experience yet they are not able to fix this then what is their purpose they should leave then.
@@sahilthe2009 i think acc. Him batting practice only means throwing the ball . Atleast GG should analyse and correct them. According to me there is nothing wrong in the players, what is wrong is the way they do practice. #changebattingcoach
Unfortunately, no. The superstar culture that is prevalent in India will ensure he keeps playing for another 2 years at least. Rohit Sharma alone will take the fall.
Have u seen Khuwaja, Konstash, Labuschagne, Head, Cummins doing any TRIGGER movements?. NO. trigger movements is for t20 cricket, it prepares your body to Hit hard, but test cricket is all about Leaving the balls.Rohit is also doing the same mistake.
Don't know about VK but tbh , in that same age sachin scored 1500+ run in test with 68 average. I think it's going to be end of road for him but he has atleast 1 year for sure , if he pulls off then he is going to play till 40. Rohit sharma deserve to retire from all formats , don't consider him for odi as their are many capable youngsters warming benches for him eg - samson , jaiswal , gill , kisan.
Chokli finally getting the criticism he warrants! Not World Class for the last 4 years. Maybe India should play 5 test series against Pakistan to bring his form back 😂😂
I think Virat is not yet over. His patience to not flirt with outside off deliveries looks definitely over. Had he shown that patience I find it hard for Aussies or any other team to get him LBW or bowled when they change their plans and bowl straight to him. It's in his advantage. But he is not making them change their line from outside off to straight and that's the problem. No fitness or energy issues and no other technical flaw. It's just to show patience and not play cover drive until he gets settled. If he is dropped that will be the first legendary player to be dropped not for technical flaws creeping in due to age or something but just one flaw of getting out caught behind or in slips.
Whether he is over or not depends on Virat himself. If he can figure out and implement effective changes to his game then he could rebound. Smith seems to have turned it around.
@@913egok smith has worked so hard to get it back, for case of Virat he had started with 3 triggered movement on the front foot, it may cost us his career now. Its over if he doesn't back his old technique (2018)
This is literally why players get dropped. It forces them to work in their game. Going back to Ranji trophy and having to face every pace bowler hanging the ball way outside off is what he needs. Anything to tame that ego.
Just answering by seeing the thumbnail. He is not. This same thing I have seen from this so called cricket analysts 2 years back. He has been in worst form than now in 2022 where he was pressurized to be dropped from T20 cricket since his worst stats. But he came backs trong and ruled 2023. It showed he is undone but just needed to be free. He dominated T20 2022, ipl2023, wc 2023, ipl 2024. Now people saying he is done in test cricket. But he can come back strong. I feel that there is desperation from virat anti fans as they are insecure that he can come back strong again and get throned back in his cricketing world. It's not an issue since he is favoured from all sides in terms of the potential he brings to the team and opponents, his brand value and his presence that crowd needed to get entertained in stadiums. These so called analysts are hypocrites who project themselves as they are concerned about indian cricket more than their family, not talking about the facts. He is invincible in cricket for now. No one can even question him until he himself want to leave cricket. So all these stuff these guys are talking is bullshit. We can see him in ict till 2028 olympics as it was set bcz of him. By the way happy new year
He gave comeback whenever he was criticized in white ball format but since 2020 people criticizing him in red ball format it's been 4-5 years still he hasn't given any comeback that's the reason now everyone starts to criticizing him
@@bharathikannan5952 that's absolutely true. But the fact is he has been playing more white ball cricket these days back to back which is why he is tending to attack the bowlers a lot more than trusting his defence. There are various factors for him to do so. The change in white ball game where he needs to improve his strike rate, since he has weakness in spin he wants to go hard on pacers, an ego thing that provoke him to dominate the fast bowlers since he was been the best batsman for pacers until this bgt series. If he want to prolong his career, he should stop working on T20 kind of innings as he is just playing ipl. He should completey focus on becoming more compact player rather than attacking the bowlers which he can do later if he scores runs again
You need to improve your technique old technique would not work because of decreasing reaction time ( his hand eye conditions getting worse day by day too)
All arrogance and ego. He refuses to stop playing the exact same shots because he just can’t accept that a strength can also be a weakness. Every other great of the game has had the humility to completely stop playing certain shots, tinker with their game, reinvent their game. Same reason he hasn’t stopped being an absolute knobhead on the field. He’s embarrassingly shoulder bumping a kid half his age undue to ego. Bruised egos swell. As he declines that urge to prove he can still hit a floater on 8th stump for 4 also grows. It’s pathetic but a joy to watch the mighty fall when they’re so arrogant.
With all due respect, the man has clearly lost his eyes hence, getting out to his bread & butter shots, coupled with his ego is blinding him to the obvious
Guys can you make video why Sachin Tendulkar was consistent throughout years and in all countries wherever he played like he averaged almost 59 after 180 tests which is no joke

@@Anshg_18-u4c 1st u jus come out of fanism.....
Scott boland has turned him into a grade cricketer
Nah by the time he retires, he'd be seen as really bad.@@Anshg_18-u4c
Great analysis
He scored a 100 against Australia in the series - this shows he still has it in him - the guy just needs some time, I think he will come back but it will be a hard climb, but Kohli has immense talent, if anyone can do it - he can!
he is 36
It really hurts to see end of an era .. we will certainly miss our run machines
i have seen the videos of other analysts as well and they say the same thing.... I think Virat needs to let go off his ego and listen and be open to ideas , drop his GOAT status for sometime and be a student , he has atleast 2 years left in his bank seeing his fitness . I definitely dont want him to be sidelined and getting retired . (pov: Iam a big fan of Virat)
I guess from now onwards he will be just greatest odi batter because he already lost to be in test
His Test batting average has significantly dropped from 50 to around 47.
Yes he's done after this retirement he can continue playing in England team as he's English citizen
My respect for sanga increases each day whenever i see an player struggle during their backend.
Man he got dropped so many times in 2018 its luck at the end of the day he isnt that great in moving conditions. His luck favored him in 2018 if he was never dropped in 2018 he would a terrible 18 series too
Bro is in downfall-comeback-downfall phase
pujara and rihane were not included, and they sent jokers to Australia?? There is no angle that could justify it.
very good analysis and great video! glad to have found your channel. It’s a combination of 2 things. a physical problem; his reflex time has slowed. it doesn’t need to be by much, but at 36 he just can’t react like he did when he was 27. the other problem is mental; he hasn’t got a plan B to compensate for the slowing of reflexes. this is the mark of a true champion. someone who can acknowledge a weakness and find a new strategy late in their career. Steve Smith is 35, only one year younger than Kholi. he too is at the end of his career and can no longer play with the same freedom and flair from 10 years ago. but we saw his 140 during the 4th test of Border-Gaviskar series that was instrumental in Australia’s victory. he has found a way to compensate for the slowing of reflexes. the mark of a true champion. the other factor is pressure. I've never seen Kholi as someone who can stand up when his team needs him. when your back is against the wall. when the stakes are high, when the team needs something special to save a match, he rarely performs. too many World Cup failures for me to rank him amongst the true greats.
thank you and completely resonate with what you have to say except for Kohli under pressure... he's single handedly carried that batting lineup for a solid 2-3 years
Last 5 years avg. 30 in test
Perfect to define legacy and PR 💥
4 years of bad test cricket,still team giving him multiple chance.
Only if such chances were given to other players in past,who were shown door just after a series of bad cricket.
Just imagine India's situation now if we had Pujara in place of Rohit
And Rahane in place of VK....😮
11:10 Hey Aswin, is 34% to 38% that big of a change? Can you just enlighten me what the sample space was? Like, how many dismissals were caught behind before and after 2020?
i feel there is an editing error, its 45% i guess
34% from his debut and 38% in just 5 years is a huge jump
@@gamechaser782 that’s not the case. It’s a “11%” increase from 34%. 11% of 34 is approx 4, so a 11% increase should be 34+4.
@@vasudevan333 ohh, i see
superb. don't know what i would do without this channel.
Weird how Virat didn't average more than 25 in any format this year and had a lower first inning batting avg than even bumrah in 2024 yet ict fans asked rohit to step down, who has still scored more runs than virat this year with better averages, also to mention no matter how much does his form worsen, he wmstill won't play ranji to improve himself, sachin's last ranji game happened more recent compared to kohli's last ranji game, and no matter how much does hi form dip, he still somehow finds form in ipl and abruptly loses his form the moment international matches continue, yet people nitpick rohit and other players but never dare to question either of these things about kohli, it is as if India winning icc tournaments and bilaterals is less important than kohli being in the team
Rohit Virat Sholud play County Cricket in Australia and England .. As seen from last 2 years they were struggling infront of fast bowlers and bouncy wickets.They are not mentally prepared for these type tough situation above. For Future,they'll be go outside to play domestic cricket in England , Australia.
Be careful toxic kohli fans will hate you
2:49 He hearly had two hundreds in that first Test {hundred in each innings, I meant} played at Johannesburg. This was the same test match where South Africa almost chased down 460 runs in the fourth innings. He got out for 119 in our first innings playing a loose shot to cover (didn't edge or Nick the ball to the slip cordon; mind you!). He was dismissed for 96 in our second innings {which was of course the Third innings of the match}.
Kohli fans during the last 4-5 years on his performance:
Kohli fans during series in Ind after his failures in India Rahane, Pujara,.Rahul too failed they should be dropped.
He's failing to spin he likes pace and bounce he'll make a comeback in Aus. He has a great record in Aus.
After failure in first innings: in Perth he'll make a comeback scores a 100 coming at 275/2 and no pressure bowlers have all exhausted.
Fans be like King is back what a knock etc etc.
He's gonna score 4 hundreds he'll repeat his 2014/15 heroics Adelaide is his favorite ground.
Fails miserably at Adelaide
Fans telling he doesn't have a hundred at Gabba he'll make Gavaskar eat his words.
After failure at Gabba
He has a good record at MCG he loves large crowds, his altercation with Konstas has pumped him up this is what gets him going so much hype by everyone as he crossed 30 although he has crossed 300
Then claiming Gill failed and Rohit too failed he should be dropped. When someone tells Kohli has failed more in the last 5 years and he needs to dropped as well, no he's a great player he's in a different leageue he can't be dropped.
Let's see what happens next in SCG.
They will say kohli got mad when he edged the ball this time in England series he will make 500 runs come back 😂
I always felt like the biggest issue with Virat was him not developing a nice square cut or a square drive. He did display a bit of square prowess against Pakistan in a t20 wc bit he abandoned it soon after. He feels very prominent all the way from cover to square leg. But he would often try and drive through the cover on deliveries he could cut through the square.
Great analysis
Going to Sydney to watch day 2 of the test hope he scores big that day
I hope virat looks into technical aspects and corrects himself
Great analysis mate, it could all so come down to the opposing team hes playing against? He really wants to win every time he plays and he really wants to beat the Australians. However this time the Australians were on to him. Maybe time to change the Indian team?
Witnessing his downfall as such an old fan of his is just disheartening
Along with mindset problem, he's hand-eye coordination has seen a dip. That is also the problem for Rohit. You see in 2018, where he takes longer strides and still used to poke at deliveries bowled at 5th or 6th stump. That time he was quicker in judgement but now he's reflexes are gone. He's much slower while timing the ball.
Rohit Sharma should have given a chance. Virat ka GameOver ho gaya Cricket se.
Virat Kohli is playing for ego now
He wants only attention
Over aggression
Sledging

When smith takes 100 virat goes and congrats him during his celebration

Indian cricket should prioritize developing the next generation of players through our strong domestic structure. With tournaments like Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare, and Syed Mushtaq Ali, we have a rich talent pool ready to be nurtured. Focusing on these players not only ensures long-term sustainability for the national team but also builds depth, enabling India to remain competitive globally. Wasting time and resources on players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have accumulated huge wealth and may not be as invested in performances as they once were, is irresponsible. Their continued selection, despite poor performances, holds back emerging talent who could contribute more to the team's future success. Ashwin, on the other hand, showed great maturity by deciding to retire, making way for fresh talent to step up. His decision was commendable and should be a model for others, as it creates space for the next generation of cricketers. By investing in grassroots cricket and promoting young talent, we can ensure a brighter future for Indian cricket and maintain our legacy.
He was done in 2021 itself
It's very simple.
Virat Kohli can't just leave those balls, he doesn't have scoring strokemaking bar drives, and nowadays when the ball pitches inside or outside off the seamy pitches, yeah he can't even predict it.
Kohli should be dropped and asked to score runs in domestic cricket to get a chance to play for India again
Okay can u explain how can he open up his back foot game because during his peak days he used to excess the backfoot shots on the offside, and that enables him to leave the fuller length more?
I think Kohli has 1 more golden run left in him. As it turned out the record of 100 100s is indeed never gonna be broken
Freeze frame at 13:25 and at 12:20 the difference is the foot is going down the wicket as against at the pitch of the ball forcing him to cover the line of the ball with his hands. Plays away from his body and nicks it. Simple!
You will further see his head is completely off position as he is following the ball with his hands but his foot is not going.
I think Virat has that three point contact trigger movement from a long time now
He can workout few shots on backfoot to use the pace and minimise the front foot shots on off stump.
See guys, I really do not understand this concept of weakening of reflexes and movement in late 30s. After all, guys like Rohit and Virat are just 36-37 years of age. Yes, it's a later age for sports, but it is still not as bad as critics are making it look. You go to the IPL, you can see that if a CSK spinner is on, MSD will still knock the bails off at the age of 42-43 just as fast as he did in his 20s. An age of 45-50 is reasonable for this statement, but not late 30s.
Plus, if there is a player at the international level, he certainly HAS TO move. That is not a choice given to the player. So if any player is playing at that level, he certainly has the reflexes and movement required.
By the way, Virat and Rohit are there in the slips as well, again proving my point.
in reflexes deteriorating in batting it mainly comes down to the eye most people cant avoid it to make up for it they make changes to their movement at crease or stance but that brings a whole lot of problems
as you are saying about slips look at raina he is still so fine at some exibition games but he certainly cant bat at int level same for dhoni maybe he can slog few ball but first of all if he batted long enough his knees would give up
you see this in other sports too like look at carmelo in his later years or pique and ramos or casemiro
@@Soumik_Mondal_fullstack_dev i get what you say, but guys like Rohit and Virat have not even crossed 40, so "reflexes deteriorating" is not a correct point to make. this has been started by haters, so that they can make the players retire. when you look at it from a neutral point of view, you get that this fact is false, at LEAST before the age of 40
@@VelocityViper-YT do you think they should play more aren't they tarnishing their legacy
There was a point where I thought Virat was gonna avg above 50 in test and solidify his legacy as the 2nd greatest batsman for Ind but now I have changed that thought
I think his career is parallel of Punter
As at their peak nobody could touch them but they played a bit too long so their avg dipped
And test is the hardest format of the game
And yeah fuck them blind haters don't take this opinion seriously make your standards higher regarding to taking opinions
@@VelocityViper-YT I somewhat agree with you because I remember the time when Sachin sir used to play so well even at 37-38 years old age , obviously he is much more dedicated to this game than any other cricketer. And I think this shows that it all depends on your hunger and patience.
This May sound foolish but this is just my perspective
@@VelocityViper-YTit also depends upon eye vision which is most important thing for reflex nd we r also seeing both rohit nd kohli r bit slow in fielding nd dropping some catches which is also becoz of age factor nd u can say sachin was the icc player of the year when was 37 but reflex different from person to person hand eye coordination is the most important thing for a batsman nd both kohli nd rohit not only struggling is Australia pitches they also struggled in home test series if they want to give comeback then they should spend their free time by playing domestic matches which was done by sachin even at the age of 39-40 but here rohit nd kohli spending most of their time only with their family... If they don't respect cricket then cricket don't respect them...
Such long 1/2 step trigger movement is for T20 cricket NOT for test, such trigger movements prepares u to hit 4/6, in test u dont that. . In test u need calm your whole body & only focus on Ball & Hand. Only then u can leave balls. U get to know your stumps only if stay in 1 place for long time. Rohit sharma is also doing the same mistakes
Who thought joe root gonna be the ultimate boss in test cricket and near to break the great sachin record.
I wish he break as their will be history in making which we lived.
He made a lot of runs in IPL 2024 on very flat pitches, since then Kohli's batting form has been inconsistent in all formats, 14:08 The attacking nature towards the ball must have been adapted during the IPL when he scored runs so fast. There is a chance that IPL did change his playing style. He got the orange cap as well.

No place for complacency in Highest level of Sports .
Kohli and Rohit should give retirement. They are not heroes. Pujara and Rahane were ruled out of the team even when they had better performances than these 2.
Second Siraj and Pant should be dropped from the team and ask them to play domestic. Otherwise these players think their spot is fix and don't play well
Making this video after his every failure wouldn't change anything
Even we are able to analyse what is the mistake. Can't batting coaches do this obviously they know more than us they have better experience yet they are not able to fix this then what is their purpose they should leave then.
The batting coach is an idiot if our team gets getting out below 150

@@sahilthe2009 i think aakash chopra could be a better coach he knows weakness of every player
Unfortunately, no. The superstar culture that is prevalent in India will ensure he keeps playing for another 2 years at least.
Rohit Sharma alone will take the fall.
Have u seen Khuwaja, Konstash, Labuschagne, Head, Cummins doing any TRIGGER movements?. NO.
trigger movements is for t20 cricket, it prepares your body to Hit hard, but test cricket is all about Leaving the balls.Rohit is also doing the same mistake.
This is his mental problem now. He thinks he can middle every ball, but bowlers are also great, you have to respect that and leave those balls.
Don't know about VK but tbh , in that same age sachin scored 1500+ run in test with 68 average.
I think it's going to be end of road for him but he has atleast 1 year for sure , if he pulls off then he is going to play till 40.
Rohit sharma deserve to retire from all formats , don't consider him for odi as their are many capable youngsters warming benches for him eg - samson , jaiswal , gill , kisan.
Chokli finally getting the criticism he warrants! Not World Class for the last 4 years. Maybe India should play 5 test series against Pakistan to bring his form back 😂😂

Father time always wins in the end
He is done 👋🏻
why not? - just remove him - he is nobudy against game of cricket - new players are wating - get rid of him
I think Virat is not yet over. His patience to not flirt with outside off deliveries looks definitely over. Had he shown that patience I find it hard for Aussies or any other team to get him LBW or bowled when they change their plans and bowl straight to him. It's in his advantage. But he is not making them change their line from outside off to straight and that's the problem. No fitness or energy issues and no other technical flaw. It's just to show patience and not play cover drive until he gets settled. If he is dropped that will be the first legendary player to be dropped not for technical flaws creeping in due to age or something but just one flaw of getting out caught behind or in slips.
He has lost his patience.. nothing else as he's not so much depend on hand-eye coordination too much .
Whether he is over or not depends on Virat himself. If he can figure out and implement effective changes to his game then he could rebound. Smith seems to have turned it around.
@@913egok smith has worked so hard to get it back, for case of Virat he had started with 3 triggered movement on the front foot, it may cost us his career now.
Its over if he doesn't back his old technique (2018)
But there are many talanted players are in the line
This is literally why players get dropped. It forces them to work in their game. Going back to Ranji trophy and having to face every pace bowler hanging the ball way outside off is what he needs. Anything to tame that ego.

Bro i hope kholi watches this
great analysis brother
Simple solution is to drop him and experiment in ranji 😅
Just answering by seeing the thumbnail. He is not. This same thing I have seen from this so called cricket analysts 2 years back. He has been in worst form than now in 2022 where he was pressurized to be dropped from T20 cricket since his worst stats. But he came backs trong and ruled 2023. It showed he is undone but just needed to be free. He dominated T20 2022, ipl2023, wc 2023, ipl 2024. Now people saying he is done in test cricket. But he can come back strong. I feel that there is desperation from virat anti fans as they are insecure that he can come back strong again and get throned back in his cricketing world. It's not an issue since he is favoured from all sides in terms of the potential he brings to the team and opponents, his brand value and his presence that crowd needed to get entertained in stadiums. These so called analysts are hypocrites who project themselves as they are concerned about indian cricket more than their family, not talking about the facts. He is invincible in cricket for now. No one can even question him until he himself want to leave cricket. So all these stuff these guys are talking is bullshit. We can see him in ict till 2028 olympics as it was set bcz of him. By the way happy new year
He gave comeback whenever he was criticized in white ball format but since 2020 people criticizing him in red ball format it's been 4-5 years still he hasn't given any comeback that's the reason now everyone starts to criticizing him
@@bharathikannan5952 that's absolutely true. But the fact is he has been playing more white ball cricket these days back to back which is why he is tending to attack the bowlers a lot more than trusting his defence. There are various factors for him to do so. The change in white ball game where he needs to improve his strike rate, since he has weakness in spin he wants to go hard on pacers, an ego thing that provoke him to dominate the fast bowlers since he was been the best batsman for pacers until this bgt series. If he want to prolong his career, he should stop working on T20 kind of innings as he is just playing ipl. He should completey focus on becoming more compact player rather than attacking the bowlers which he can do later if he scores runs again
As you get old you start lossing reaction time
You need to improve your technique old technique would not work because of decreasing reaction time ( his hand eye conditions getting worse day by day too)
He's done....we have to look into future, he has no future
All arrogance and ego. He refuses to stop playing the exact same shots because he just can’t accept that a strength can also be a weakness. Every other great of the game has had the humility to completely stop playing certain shots, tinker with their game, reinvent their game. Same reason he hasn’t stopped being an absolute knobhead on the field. He’s embarrassingly shoulder bumping a kid half his age undue to ego. Bruised egos swell. As he declines that urge to prove he can still hit a floater on 8th stump for 4 also grows. It’s pathetic but a joy to watch the mighty fall when they’re so arrogant.
