KOHLI'S MOST DISMAL YEAR

  Shah Faisal     He was fishing outside off and caught a shark in his net .  2021 was by far a stable year in comparison to 2020 where the world saw all its squares turned into night scenes of graveyards and so were cricket grounds where doors were shut beyond which played 22 players only acknowledged by their support staff. 2021 saw the visuals of spectators chanting for players especially in England where a full house of crowd chanted for the English team when they were remarkably chasing a total of 330. It also saw a cricket game in the world’s largest cricket stadium in terms of crowd capacity . It also saw a full house in an India v Pakistan T20I game in Dubai. Now that 2021 has officially folded itself in a cover of the past and has given way to 2022 with the hope that the cricketing world will witness regular cricket escaping from the toxic routine of quarantine and social distancing protocols for professional cricketers, let us see and analyze the limping jo...

He was void of any great natural talent that could guarantee  fanciful achievements. Wit...

VIRAT KOHLI In QUAGMIRE; WHY IS NOT SCORING RUNS? ?

Shah Faisal Ecstatic Anderson celebrates wicket of  dejected Virat Kohli      Anderson's dismissal of Virat Kohli in first innings at Nottingham summed up the toxic 21 months that Kohil had gone through in a free fall manner. His artfulness and consistency accompanied by overweening desire, to score big and impact the game, had made him to adopt advance and peculiar methods of preparation. Amongst these is his firmness and commitment to shots. Kohil is a strong believer of committing to the shots that one decides to play. He is not the one who would check his shot at last second or play two shots to one ball. When he decide to drive he drives, if a ball should be defended he defends.            This is the constituent of what the coaches call clarity of mind. Sangakkara is one who often advocates such approach. Clear mind allows you to concentrate on one particular moment, that resultantly gives you the space to indulge in ...
