Take a bow, Kohli!

Same hype around Amir. Before he got caught.

Think every team is guilty of it.

Kohli is a cracking prospect

For a 17/18 year old he was worth the hype but no one said he was the finished article. Kohli is at the age where is he is the finished article so let's see how he does in England next year.

Neon,

How many ODIS you got vs West Indies next month?

@ Kash.

Cook has opened up all his career, Sachin started at 6. So an opener has more chance of getting to 7k quicker

Cook has also played most of his cricket on difficult seaming tracks in England. One of the hardest places to play as an opener is in England and he has done very well apart from the series against Pakistan (Asif & Amir)

Yet he only average 38 in the subcontinent.

I think England batsman play well at home, as do India's.

Flat pitches, there are some, but also many turning pitches I'm India.

There are some exceptional batting tracks in England too.

Kohli Will still improve, but he is a good batsman for his age, and in a cricket mad nation, the hype will follow.

Take Rooney, in England, for example. At a young age he was surrounded by hype, way too much. He turned into a good player, but never met, and probably had little chance, to live up to the hype.

Happens everywhere.

Cooks average in sub cont is 44

Amla and AB are better

Well said

Kohli achievements so far seem adequate enough to consider him for the status of ODI GOAT.

Scary that he is still in the first half of his career.
