[Buzz]

for the ipl he is epic

so he is great on slow pitches in a sea of overpaid mediocracy... each to their own in my view.

[Number4]

he swings a 12 inch long blade.

Wish I had 12 inches to swing

And Kohli is petulant, angry, and doesn't open does he?

[Alvaro]

Kohli is very good, and if he were to bat no.3 for India he'd essentially be opening ...

[Tumo]

Agreed on both points, Kohli is very, VERY good...

[Kp1995]

agreed he should open

[Nickauger]

Can't deny that he is very very good, but just can't stand the way he is!

[Tumo]

agreed he should open

He shouldn't open, he should be 3/4. Also, Nick, he's young, he's petulant. Suppose you weren't a fan of Broad, Jimmy, Swanny, Hoggy, Harmy, etc when they were all younger and more petulant? Haha

[Nickauger]

In all honesty mate, I wasn't. If he matures like they have then fair play, which I'm sure he will. At the moment I don't like him.

Harmy? Petulant? I doubt he was ever bothered enough to be petulant... Can't think that Hoggy was much of a naughty boy either...

I agree with Buzz, Kohli is massively overrated much like every other batsman given star billing in the IPL....good, but nowhere near as good as the IPL or India would like us to think.

Kohli looks a good player from what I have seen, but he needs to do it at Test level, where he has flattered to deceive a bit.  He has a whiff of the Ian Bells about him.

Hoggy did get in trouble quite a bit with the ICC, Harmy was a bit of a faux pas on my part, I forgot he barely cares about anything ever! I rate Kohli higher than most of the Indians coming through, aside from Pujara and Rahane, who have both proven their abilities, Rahane doing so in England, a very tough hunting ground for the Indians!

The day Kohli comes near captaincy etc his performances will be diminishing.

As much as i want to disagree my brain tells me that this more likely to happen then not....

Kohli has a fantastic work ethic but is lacking in brains when it comes to being anything unrelated to cricket...to be fair though he has 2 paths to choose from...one would lead him the way of Clarke other would be the way of harbhajan...as a person/player i mean...bhajji was aggresive and good but then we all know how it turned out...MC on the other hand was never as brash but has done very well for himself

[Colesy]

In 20/20 maybe, in proper cricket no! Gayle hasn't got the patience and Kohli can't play the short ball....

His big hundreds and triple tons suggest otherwise
