Virat Kohli, who has created panic in world cricket for the last decade with his batting, is being demanded today to be dropped from the team. From social media users to cricket stalwarts, they feel that the era of King Kohli is over.
Team India is just being carried to them. The player who gave many opportunities to the Indian fans to celebrate the victory, is after him today, but is Kohli playing so poorly that he should be dropped from the team?
Is Kohli's era over? In terms of statistics, it is not so. Kohli is still the best batsman for Team India. Why are we saying this, let me tell you...
Highest run-scorer Indian batsman after 2020
Virat has scored the most runs for Team India in all three formats after 2020. He has scored 663 runs in T20, 702 in ODIs, and 767 runs in Test matches. Combining all the three formats, Virat has 2237 runs. These are the most runs by any Indian batsman after 2020. After him, Rishabh Pant scored 2213 and Rohit Sharma scored 2039 runs. Virat has scored these runs in 71 innings of 60 matches. Rohit has made 58 innings from 47 matches while Pant has made 64 innings from 54 matches.
Number-7 in the top 10 players
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is number 1 on this list. He has scored 3508 runs in all three formats. At the same time, Kohli is in 7th place. While Rishabh Pant is at 9th and Rohit Sharma is at 10th position. However, the average of Rohit and Rishabh is higher than Kohli. While Virat has scored runs at an average of 34.95, Pant's average is 39.05. Rohit Sharma averages 39.21 after 2020.
Then why is there a demand to remove Kohli from Team India?
Virat has not scored a single century for the last three years. It is known to all that Virat has taken his game up a level. Between 2008 and 2021, he has scored 70 centuries in all three formats. They are only ahead of Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar, who have scored 71 and 100 international centuries. In such a situation, cricket fans and veterans feel that there is no point in Virat being in the team without scoring a century.
It's not right to go against a player who gave you so many opportunities to rejoice so early. With Kohli on the team, the pressure builds on the opposition team on the field. That is obvious. A little patience can be done for the biggest match winner of the team.
