At 60-4 to chase down 350 is extraordinary. Kohli's far too good in a chase, no other batsmen in the world could have done that - not even AB

Agree. While AB is far more talented than Kohli, mentally AB is quite weak. He has never won such games for SA while chasing/under pressure. If AB can fix it, then sky is the limit for him/world cup will be SA's to have.

What a cracker. great win. just shows how confident Indian side is and this VK is something else. Turned into a machine after becoming the captain.
Inspiring leader, leads by example.

Big if here - but that's if AB ever plays for South Africa again...

Yes, with SA transformation targets, I don't think many good players will have that much loyalty for their country anymore..But SA have dug their own grave.. so be it..

Is it just me or does it look about 5mm too wide?? 

His bats look huge like the ones available on FB page of Ulysses Cricket Australia.

Kohli couldn't have done it without the nobody Kedar Jadhav.

What a game he played...

[Felix Tito]

I've seen a lot of great limited overs batsmen over the years but this lad Kohli is the best I've ever seen. He's not the most flashy or got the AB de Villiers unorthodox strokes but he makes run scoring easy. Chasing 350 is supposed to be hard work, yet Kohli's done it three times and it's almost like a canter.

[Shinpathy]

Kohli is already much better than Tendulkar for me.

Woakes didn't hit any bombs while he was out there.
Not good enough, time he was dropped...

When first read this didn't realise how significant it would become.

what an incredible effort from india...

kohli indebted to the support from Jadhav... some serious striking.

the England spinners - their figures - make scary reading! in the end, that was the difference between the two sides?

well maybe...  we are struggling for good spinners I think the while of the forum has commented on it recently. personally I would like Dawson in even if it's to change the angle

hats off to India that was superb but I think England played pretty well for most of the game, prob 40 runs short.

we can get a good start, it's in the middle overs England have to nail it, really nail it and risk getting bowled out to get 400 plus, 450. that's the standard these days, the game has moved on so quick.

Billings has got to play and we have to go hell 4 leather towards 400.

Is Kholi already the best white ball batsman of all time? If not, then he's certainly not far off, unbelievable!

Interesting.. not sure there is that much wrong. Having score 350 and then have the oppo for 60-4, I think 9/10 times you would win the game. This was a freak, would it happen again? Odds are against it.

I personally think he is already... The numbers are insane.
