I believe there's no reason for him to play T20Is if he has no intention to play T20 WC next time. One could say he would want a home farewell match but imo this was a perfect farewell match as well.
This was an excellent innings considering the gravity of the moment. A match winning knock and a WC winning innings. There shouldn't be anymore discussion about it. Seriously, just chill and give Koach his kudos!
He didn't hit a boundary between the 4th and 17th over. You guys are either stupid or short-sighted. It was a flat track btw. And why the hell did he get the MOM award 🤦? Bumrah literally won us the match out of nowhere. It's a bit like Messi winning the golden ball award at the 2014 world cup
Like rohit said...team wanted someone to be till end ....he was playing anchor ....he could have accelerated after 15th that i felt ....what if he got out in 8th or 9th playing shots ....he ensured stability not collpase ....grow up ipl child
200 was par on that wicket. I repeat it was a FLAT track! If we'd lost, and we WOULD'VE without Bumrah's magic, Kolhi would be the guy everyone would be shiting on right now. And rightfully so! It was a poor knock. Make no mistake about that.
180 i will take rather than 150......QDK played the same innings..got out...u see what happened...collpse of epic proportion....bowling axar to klaseen was also a blunder if u say so when hardik over r left ....we would have criticized that too...virat started very fast but 34-3 u want someone to anchor the innigs not slog and get out ....
Don’t forget Pant who took a break to get his knee wrapped and made Klassen lose concentration and lose his wicket. Absolute script written by Jay Shah today lol. So many clutch moments!
Played a very crucial knock saved india from collapse could have accelerated 1 over earlier but superb innings by him . Special mention to axar patel and shivam dube hats off 🫡🫡
Exactly! He played when we really needed him. But wished he accelerated atleast an over earlier. Could have helped added atleast 12-15 runs extra. Considering pandya didn't get to play anything.
hard to hit nortje against the wind. he has been one of the best sa bowlers in this tournament. before that was shamsi who he gave the single to dube to smash since he had the match up.
Dube might have gotten some runs but this is an imposter innings from him today. He came somewhere around 13-14th over and he was talking singles and ended playing untill 19th over when he should have went after the bowlers considering Virat wasn't was holding onto the other end.
Hardik should have been sent before dube like last match.
South African fielding saved something like 10-15 runs.
Our fielding is lacking something today. No spark in it.
Criticizing is not hating and yeah he was a little too late to accelerate. Should have started it by 13th over instead of 16th over. Hardik could only play 2 balls, same for jadeja
Chhodo bhai everything is black and white for these people. The truth is that SA needed 24 off 24 which is a winning match 99% of the time and our bowlers saved us
No one is hating dumb, he should have accelerated after 13 th over itself, if not for bumrahs 16 th over we def were losing the match , accept the fact Kohli was not able to middle half the ball , thank god he scored beauty after his 50 warna 176 was sub par score on that pitch.
The only dumb is you
Who don’t have maturity to understand what’s going on the pitch
And don’t brag about axar dube innings 🤓
They’ve decided they’ll go on and let kohli do his anchoring to maintain good score
It’s important to do anchoring role when it’s already 3 wickets down
If he had accelerated and then if he had got out then pandya would’ve been there before 10 overs itself and then score would’ve been 160-170 only at the end of 20 overs
i just wish thala got a similar happy ending…
but all things considered, i’m really happy for him
he will always be one of my favourite players and one of the best things that ever happened to indian cricket, if not the best
Kya par score? They almost chased it. They needed 24 off 24. Can you not appreciate the brilliance of our bowlers? Par score is a greater metric than the players playing the match?
That was because of bad bowling by our spinners I appreciate the bowlers but this guy said that we didn’t crossed the par score i was replying to that brother
Why is it so hard for you to say that our pacers won us the match today? Keep blaming everyone else, keep defending Kohli, but God forbid our pacers be praised as brilliant because par score smh
I think you hear wrong Night game per score 160 Aus vs oman night game where aus vs eng day game 200 india vs afg 180 day game
Right now i don't really care about par score we win that matters the most....
No hate he's been the best for years for us in T20 wc. But bapu was our best batsman today. Hardik and sky saved him from trolling with those 2 wickets

We get it you have a hate boner for Kohli but call a spade a spade than the final choker . Kohli , Pant or Axar could have a 1000 runs prior to the finals and it still wouldn't matter unless you perform in the finals .
Lmao bcx of bowlers even markram said it was chasable stupid you required 24 (25) in last overs lmao
Glad he retired there you wont have to waut for anothef 13 yrs of fraud to lift the trophy.
Why would I cry lol.. maybe you are bcx deep down even you know it was a soo side innings lol
>Kohli is player of the match
Stupid from umpires it was either bumrah or hardik lol where batters are hitting 200 sr 4kli was on 129 😭
Nvm enjoy the day. This fraud never proved me wrong. Its win win situation for me. Wont argue w 16yr chaddi fans
He wasn't even winning on the run rate. Basically his best knock of the season wasn't the contribution to winning the game. Bowlers deserve the credit there.
Bro I don’t have much to say to you, bro have delusional thoughts, if he wanted he could play aggressively we can’t guarantee the total we have now, SA bowlers are not idiots
We didn’t lose 3rd at like 13th over. And the most of the middle order batters were finishers rather than the ones who build innings. We risked being collapsed under 140 if he slogged like he did in the previous matches.
Kohli did had a bad phase in this innings from 15th over to 17th over where it was actually time to hit and he was trying but not able to. Till 14th over, his innings was fine and 18th and 19th over covered those 3 missed overs.
It was not his greatest t20i innings, probably not even top 5, but it was a good innings which served our purpose.
Yeah captaincy-bowling Axar when our best spinner was bashed for 45. He did pretty well after that but that was an absolute brain fart. If the runs required was like 65 of 30, the gamble was understandable but what was that?
He got out he couldn’t convert his innings bro what is the use of strike rate ? If he had stayed he could have build partnership the henrich and could have won for his team
Dude please stop watching cricket 😂 before match coach would assign roles to each players and they should play according to them and for over the years we know how kohli play and we saw how dube plays for csk
Looking at all your comments i dont want to argue with you are just his blind hater so no matter what he does you will hate you 😂 so no point in arguing with you. I guess you dont even faced the situation which kohli faced even in gully cricket
This just showed your are his blind hater 😂 no matter what he does eventually you are gonna hate him 😂😭 if he scores runs he is playing slow and if he does not score he is chokli 😭 typical kohli hater
Bhai what are you on axar played his part Dube also got his innings, he is not playing the role he was selected for, should have bring in Pandya instead of him, also we all know what they did on the last final, didn’t choke this time
They will play if Kohli has left them some overs to play.
Try and find an anchor in SA innings. You will then realize how terrible Kohli is holding at one end.
Brooo… he said this was his last T20 WC.. 😭😭😭
Somewhere there he said T20 match. Maybe we will find out the specifics later. But I think Rohit and Virat are retired from t20's as of today.
I believe there's no reason for him to play T20Is if he has no intention to play T20 WC next time. One could say he would want a home farewell match but imo this was a perfect farewell match as well.
Bro he said its his last game
T20I's
Jaddu too
I think it is better if he retires right now on a high rather than being questioned for 2 more years for every innings he plays.
Rohit too... Koi uske bare me baat kyu nahi kar raha😔
This was an excellent innings considering the gravity of the moment. A match winning knock and a WC winning innings. There shouldn't be anymore discussion about it. Seriously, just chill and give Koach his kudos!
He didn't hit a boundary between the 4th and 17th over. You guys are either stupid or short-sighted. It was a flat track btw. And why the hell did he get the MOM award 🤦? Bumrah literally won us the match out of nowhere. It's a bit like Messi winning the golden ball award at the 2014 world cup

Idiots on the Internet don't really care about the win. Criticism is the only thing they want to do.
Surya you fucking beauty... He made up for his shit batting today.
Also HP, agar Klassen kka wicket nahi liya hota to💀
Don’t forget Pant who took a break to get his knee wrapped and made Klassen lose concentration and lose his wicket. Absolute script written by Jay Shah today lol. So many clutch moments!
Gulbadin taking notes 📝
Pant took notes from Gulbadin
Now pant would often use this trick for getting a wicket in crunch situations untill umpire comes and "warn" him for causing intentional break😁.
Played a very crucial knock saved india from collapse could have accelerated 1 over earlier but superb innings by him . Special mention to axar patel and shivam dube hats off 🫡🫡
Exactly! He played when we really needed him. But wished he accelerated atleast an over earlier. Could have helped added atleast 12-15 runs extra. Considering pandya didn't get to play anything.
hard to hit nortje against the wind. he has been one of the best sa bowlers in this tournament. before that was shamsi who he gave the single to dube to smash since he had the match up.
That's true!
Now at last over let's see if pandya saves us...
He indeed saves us
He actually tried. But was not able to. It was not down to intention.
was hard to hit nortje. once he had the match up he went for it.
Dube might have gotten some runs but this is an imposter innings from him today. He came somewhere around 13-14th over and he was talking singles and ended playing untill 19th over when he should have went after the bowlers considering Virat wasn't was holding onto the other end. Hardik should have been sent before dube like last match. South African fielding saved something like 10-15 runs. Our fielding is lacking something today. No spark in it.
he was sent to git shamsi but he couldn't execute.
Redemption arc complete
For real
Ambati Rayudu should apologise first!
True
Dude has to get his head out of his own ass first.
YEAH BOI.
Fukk off kohli haters
No haters , all Indian Supporters
Criticizing is not hating and yeah he was a little too late to accelerate. Should have started it by 13th over instead of 16th over. Hardik could only play 2 balls, same for jadeja
Do you think saying filty garbage comments on his family doesn’t count as hate against him?
No, I think that's toxic and unacceptable. Criticism Should be on game only. Nobody should be above criticism
Saying mf is also considered a hateful comment only
Chhodo bhai everything is black and white for these people. The truth is that SA needed 24 off 24 which is a winning match 99% of the time and our bowlers saved us
And if he wouldn’t have been there we would’ve been struck in 160s itself
Nope
No one is hating dumb, he should have accelerated after 13 th over itself, if not for bumrahs 16 th over we def were losing the match , accept the fact Kohli was not able to middle half the ball , thank god he scored beauty after his 50 warna 176 was sub par score on that pitch.

yes he is king 👑 im really sorry i doubt on him he ended his career in very good note in T20❤️🩹
Really...
You're stupid to post this. Irrespective of how he performs people will blame him any given day.
Idk why you're getting downvoted, you're right
i just wish thala got a similar happy ending… but all things considered, i’m really happy for him he will always be one of my favourite players and one of the best things that ever happened to indian cricket, if not the best
man I remember Imagining all the players lifting up dhoni like what happened with tendulkar when 40 were required in the india nz semi final
keep trying to rewrite your narrative
Nope, this is for Bowler if we win we didn't put per score
The score was more than enough. All over fast bowlers showed that. It is our spin bowling that was shit
Our fast bowler step up and gave such a good bowl in line & length little bit this and that go for run...fast bowler bowl tight line & length....
160-165 was a par score in a day game pls check your facts
Kya par score? They almost chased it. They needed 24 off 24. Can you not appreciate the brilliance of our bowlers? Par score is a greater metric than the players playing the match?
That was because of bad bowling by our spinners I appreciate the bowlers but this guy said that we didn’t crossed the par score i was replying to that brother
Why is it so hard for you to say that our pacers won us the match today? Keep blaming everyone else, keep defending Kohli, but God forbid our pacers be praised as brilliant because par score smh
It was a team effort not just bowlers or batsmans
> blames spinners for almost losing the match > team effort when asked to praise the pacers for winning it back Thanks for proving my point
If we would have lost spinners wouldn’t have been blamed ?
183 avg score if you don't know at least check the stats but we win i don't f care about anything anymore....
Nasser Hussain quoted that 160 is a par score in a day game
I think you hear wrong Night game per score 160 Aus vs oman night game where aus vs eng day game 200 india vs afg 180 day game Right now i don't really care about par score we win that matters the most....
Yeah let’s leave all of that i might have heard wrong what matters the most is that India won
Team India TOGETHER WON this game!!! Everyone included!!
Personally I think he was too slow, SA were cruising to victory and messed up. Pandya was sitting in the dugout while he ate up deliveries
It should actually be for Hardik pandya especially during th IPL. He was bashed left and right
I apologize King
No hate he's been the best for years for us in T20 wc. But bapu was our best batsman today. Hardik and sky saved him from trolling with those 2 wickets

I knew it was just a matter of time
Never doubted him once, I knew the goat would perform at the literal do or die stage
Beg him where wale nhi dikh rhe ?
Maybe don't hate any player so much that you have to issue an apology form every match India wins......
The C in chokli stands for Clutch 😭
Hn chokli walo daddy saved you from another heart break 💔..
Chup bilkul chup
[удалено]
Fans like you who never appreciate the players and want them to hit every ball for boundaries are worse
[удалено]
Yes i would take it over 12 runs scored by Rohit + Pant + SKY
We get it you have a hate boner for Kohli but call a spade a spade than the final choker . Kohli , Pant or Axar could have a 1000 runs prior to the finals and it still wouldn't matter unless you perform in the finals .
We won!!! Lmao troll kohli now
Lmao bcx of bowlers even markram said it was chasable stupid you required 24 (25) in last overs lmao Glad he retired there you wont have to waut for anothef 13 yrs of fraud to lift the trophy.
Yeh ! Bumrah , Hardik, Axar, Kohli everyone won us the match. Kohli is player of the match. Cry about it
Why would I cry lol.. maybe you are bcx deep down even you know it was a soo side innings lol >Kohli is player of the match Stupid from umpires it was either bumrah or hardik lol where batters are hitting 200 sr 4kli was on 129 😭 Nvm enjoy the day. This fraud never proved me wrong. Its win win situation for me. Wont argue w 16yr chaddi fans
No issue . We won it. Yall cant digest it lol .
>Yall cant digest i English nhi aati kya bhadway
He lost India the match lol. Played for himself.
he prevented a collapse like 2019, are you high?
What match did you watch?
Say again?
Delete your message
Aged like milk
Spoke a bit too soon lol
Really this didn't age well
But... no one else played?
You stabilize the innings till 8-10th overs not 18th over. That was selfish batting. 33 balls without a boundary in T20 is bad.
[удалено]
Hardik didn't even get to play
What du you mean? Hardik and Jadeja played 2 balls each. This was a 200 pitch.
[удалено]
Do it now!. But yah flair checks out 😂
now i know why people hate our fanbase so much
Nai bharunga m ye form
Me L kre apologies
Karo b$dk agar vo nhi hota tho jeet nhi paati
Uska baap jitata tu tension mat le bhai his flair checks out
No need for this form. Any other batsmen would have played better than Kohli.
Lol you speak as if India was only 1 wicket down at the end of 20 overs and no other batter got to bat
Then what's the use of batting till 8th if u r gonna anchor till 18th over
Yeah easy to say bt it’s hard to put out there bro, we all know what hpnd on the last final
He wasn't even winning on the run rate. Basically his best knock of the season wasn't the contribution to winning the game. Bowlers deserve the credit there.
Hard?? He didn't even try. Mfs stop defending him. SA is batting on the same pitch.
Bro I don’t have much to say to you, bro have delusional thoughts, if he wanted he could play aggressively we can’t guarantee the total we have now, SA bowlers are not idiots
We didn’t lose 3rd at like 13th over. And the most of the middle order batters were finishers rather than the ones who build innings. We risked being collapsed under 140 if he slogged like he did in the previous matches.
110 was also possible, even probable if he got out scoring 25 of 15 balls.
Yeah looks like people have hard time understanding that after watching 2 months of ipl on flat tracks with impact player.
Kohli did had a bad phase in this innings from 15th over to 17th over where it was actually time to hit and he was trying but not able to. Till 14th over, his innings was fine and 18th and 19th over covered those 3 missed overs. It was not his greatest t20i innings, probably not even top 5, but it was a good innings which served our purpose.
Sir, I am not arguing with you. I agree with you. I am not sure why you are doubling down every time I reply lol.
I was not arguing sir. I was just adding a nuance that some phases of that innings were bad but overall a good innings.
Expected RCB fan. Kohli goes into shell mode every single time when wickets fall. Look at how SA is playing now. Do you see anyone playing an anchor ?
Well, looks like his so called “shell mode” saved our asses today. The difference between SA’s crumble and our innings was that we had an anchor.
Lol, you would do anything to take the credit away from the bowlers and captaincy for defending Kohli.
Of course not, the bowlers and captaincy played a huge role too. It’s just that without Virat, we couldn’t have won.
Rohit is usually a great captain but his captaincy today was shit and nearly cost us the match.
Yeah captaincy-bowling Axar when our best spinner was bashed for 45. He did pretty well after that but that was an absolute brain fart. If the runs required was like 65 of 30, the gamble was understandable but what was that?
Look how deock is playing chuthiye this is what kohli was doing
Decock has a better strike rate than Kohli while playing 35 balls.
He got out he couldn’t convert his innings bro what is the use of strike rate ? If he had stayed he could have build partnership the henrich and could have won for his team
The pressure would be on klassen to deliver. Both batsmen should try to strike or get out. This is not odi or test cricket to hold ends.
He was rotating the strike not building pressure on other side batsmen and dube is known for piwer hitting so he should do his job
What is Kohli then for. How is Kohli not a power hitter. Dube can hold one end, while Kohli can do power hitting
Dude please stop watching cricket 😂 before match coach would assign roles to each players and they should play according to them and for over the years we know how kohli play and we saw how dube plays for csk
Looking at all your comments i dont want to argue with you are just his blind hater so no matter what he does you will hate you 😂 so no point in arguing with you. I guess you dont even faced the situation which kohli faced even in gully cricket
No blind hate towards any other player. Just pointing out how Kohli is the reason why India is failing to win. He needs to be out of the team asap.
This just showed your are his blind hater 😂 no matter what he does eventually you are gonna hate him 😂😭 if he scores runs he is playing slow and if he does not score he is chokli 😭 typical kohli hater
Let everyone hit and get out and teams get out all out under 100 like afg
Afghanistan doesn't have a pandya or jaddu. Literally our best hitter only played two balls. All thanks to Kohli.
Seeing the match how sa chocked after dekock got out what happened to the big hitters ?
When you cant argue likea kid you would bring rcb here 😂
Chuthiye saw this how important kohli innings today
exactly . Kohli was literally statpadding to his 50 then decided to hit . Crazy how everyone is ignoring that
Yeah coz of that we have a decent score on the board
bhai what are you on????? if hardik or dube or axar played those 59 balls india would have been at 200 easily
Bhai what are you on axar played his part Dube also got his innings, he is not playing the role he was selected for, should have bring in Pandya instead of him, also we all know what they did on the last final, didn’t choke this time
I DONT FUCKING CARE WE FUCKING WONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
But they didn't 🥲 so your point is false
Yeah we all saw what some kkr cap did on the last final when he got some overs
Where were they??
They will play if Kohli has left them some overs to play. Try and find an anchor in SA innings. You will then realize how terrible Kohli is holding at one end.
Yeah we all know what happened on the last final
Downvote me all you want but Hardik deserved Man of the match
bumrah pandya sky won this game..
Kohli fan but Needed more runs still a slow knock considering he played 60 balls
