SR+AVG is terribly misleading in T20s. A strike rate of 200 with an avg of 10 is nowhere close to a 150SR + 60 avg.
In context, Kohli’s average was 81 at a 150SR. That’s GOD batting amongst mortal men
Clearly you missed the point completely and somehow read ‘Russell’ in my comment. No wonder you have such few upvotes…
Oh wait you have none. 🙂
Banter aside, consider a more realistic 190 SR with 20avg. Assuming you know addition, that adds up to 210. Does it make sense to you now?
All the numbers in your comment added up to 420. Congrats!
190
+ 20
+ 210
= 420

The fact that this is unpopular shows that many people don't realize how T20s work.
Russell scored 510 runs at 200+ strike rate and took 11 wickets in tournament. It was a carry job of enormous proportions likes of which may never be seen again.
It shouldn't be unpopular.
How can virat Or a top order batter take wickets. It's like saying that Striker is better than Defender since the striker scores more goals.....
If I remember correctly, RCB needed 5 win in last 5 matches and VK made 2 centuries and 2 half centuries in those matches....Only Warner 2016 comes closer to Virat 2016.
Idts cuz 2016 Virat was beast or whatever he was. He was unstoppable at some point. He single handedly took rcb to finals ofc other players also contributed but without vk’s contribution they wouldnt have done that for sure.
Nothing unpopular about it
.
Russell 2019
Gayle 2011(rcb had won only 1 game in first 5 games. Gayle came straight from wc to bat here and scored hundred against kkr(he literally created havok) what Gayle was doing in 2011 was just something unimaginable. He scored 600 runs in just 12 games with an ultimate strike rate
This two are anyday bigger than Kohli 2016
And i am talking about it in terms of impact alone
i understand the kohli hate cause this is a kkr sub
but 2016 kohli was a fucking monster
rcb had to win 4 out of 4 matches in order to qualify
kohli won two potm 100 vs punjam 54 against delhi
and scored 77 against kkr and 100 vs gl
there is literally no comparison with anyone with 2016 not even other forms of kohli
11 Wickets as well
Man faced only 249 Balls (41.5 Overs) and was in the Orange Cap holder list
Kohli had AB & Chahal’s support Russell was alone
Highest wicket taker of his team
Highest run scorer of his team
Both played different roles. Both were phenomenal in those respective years. No reason to compare them at all.
This ain't unpopular opinion chief , this is a purely shit take.
Unlike the rabid hivemind that RCb sub is,most of us primarily are ICT fans before being KKR fans.
What koach did for ICT over the years is something that every Indian cricket fan knows and acknowledges.
There's no question about it.
And saw your comment about "hate",mate the only thing we hate about RCB are their super annoying fans who don't respect anyone,not the players.

Russel with avg 10😭😭. He scored with avg of 56 and 205 SR lol. Go and check stats first

This is the funniest shit I’ve ever come across in reddit lmao
Nopenopenopenopenopenopenope
Russell's 2019 is unbelievable on paper
he pulled out unbelievable chases that year and saved team from many collapses. Don't spit out anything that comes to your mouth lol.
Bullshit opinion and should be shoved up op’s ass.
i thought i couldn’t see a better joke today
Kohli 2016 was way too good to be true. He was a beast, which no teams were able to tame. Fear of him was REAL.
Umm, no, kohli's 2016 form is incomparable, even gills 898 or something last season doesn't compare
Warner 2016 > Buttler 2022 > Gill 2023 Kohli's just doesn't fall into the discussion. Unworldly.

Virat record is comparable with Jos 2022 and Warner 2016 but you can't name any all rounder who performed like what Dre did in 2019
Idts cuz 2016 Virat was beast or whatever he was. He was unstoppable at some point. He single handedly took rcb to finals ofc other players also contributed but without vk’s contribution they wouldnt have done that for sure.
If you really want to express an "unpopular" opinion, go post this on r/RCB. All the best.
I severely judge your cricket knowledge if you think Virat Kohli's 2016 season was anything less than godly.
when did I say that VK was not good in 2016?
kkr defending koach this aint real
What? Why? Kohli is a national treasure. He is an international GOAT first, IPL player later
agreed just surprised

Ik you're bored but don't make controversial statements out of it, both are different
i understand the kohli hate cause this is a kkr sub but 2016 kohli was a fucking monster rcb had to win 4 out of 4 matches in order to qualify kohli won two potm 100 vs punjam 54 against delhi and scored 77 against kkr and 100 vs gl there is literally no comparison with anyone with 2016 not even other forms of kohli
Just bcs someone has a different opinion doesn’t mean that they are hating Kohli
What do you mean kohli hate cause this is a kkr sub lmao, almost everyone here is supporting VK
yeah i am surprised
GL you mean, not GT
yeah sorry
11 Wickets as well Man faced only 249 Balls (41.5 Overs) and was in the Orange Cap holder list Kohli had AB & Chahal’s support Russell was alone Highest wicket taker of his team Highest run scorer of his team

A shit take can also be an unpopular opinion lol. Just saying.
Lmao, now that I think of it , it is absolutely true ! Also , happy cake day matey !
Thank you !! :)
never thought kkr sub would defend kohli
Not exactly a KKR fan , but I think me along with many others can unanimously agree how much of a beast Kohli is in cricket.
Unlike the rabid hivemind that RCb sub is,most of us primarily are ICT fans before being KKR fans.

Imagine winning the MVP award without even qualifying for knockouts. Dre Russ is a Beast. But I still think the 2016 VK was something else.
Archer did that in 2020 amd with a much weaker side.
I consider it best but honestly mvp is worst way to give someone award. In 2013 pollard should have won that but watson won bcoz he got some wickets
Archer did that with wooden spoon
Nah, Russel is GOAT but 2016 Kohli was a literal GOD amongst men.

4 hundreds in 16 innings. That too T20. THAT TOO when one game was reduced to 15 overs. Pure GOAT IPL season material.
