India tour of South Africa

Quoted from Cricbuzz:
26.6 Tahir to Kohli, FOUR, it's another ODI hundred for Virat Kohli. Of course it is. Never has it been easier to predict a hundred, than when Kohli strides out in a run-chase, especially with Rohit Sharma not there to run him out. Gets an overpitched delivery and hammers it back down for four. And then he thumps his chest and punches the air. Ridiculous batsman

^True that (underlined). :lol
 
Watching VK hit hundreds in chases is getting rather boring!
 
Insane stuff from Kohli but I feel our bowlers did a great job making it very easy for us. Great way to end it.
 
Well, an opportunity to test India's middle order totally wasted! Should we Indian fans now start praying for the top order to fail in most games so that the middle order is properly tested? We are already in prayers for Kohli and management to send Dhoni up at No. 4. No trying out Pandey, playing Iyer but not giving him an opportunity even in a dead rubber, not having Dhoni come in early.

Well the Kohli fanboys will come out in protest now, so I'll back off. I just hope the top 3 (Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli) have enough gas in them to saunter India through the World Cup next year and win the title. If they don't, I am sure they have a lot of creative minds back there to come up with all sorts of excuses.
 
I had predicted 6-0 and we won 5-1 and our experts feel this is a big shock.[DOUBLEPOST=1518803167][/DOUBLEPOST]Incredible innings from Kohli, but wouldn't it have been better to send someone else? Rahane as expected made his little not out contribution.

It's easy for us to predict as no one sees it.

If our experts predict something like that, it's us(people) who say things like "He is being too confident and arrogant". And more humiliating for them if the exact opposite happens of their prediction as we(people) will troll the hell out of them.
 
A convincing series victory at the end but an opportunity wasted to test the bench strength.

Convincing series win and a good tour so far despite not winning the test series that 1 victory stiched the bleeding hand. With regards to Kohli he has shut critics as he has outperformed everyone. Now he has only one country where he has to prove and is England.
 
Conclusion given by Michael Vaughan for his own question:
 
This is a sweet victory to win the series 5-1. Another fantastic innings by Kohli, but India really need to not always depend on him for runs. Considering the Test series were lost, this has been a remarkable comeback after going down. Absolutely thrashed SA in their backyard, and that is fabulous to watch. However, I hoped SA would put up more of a fight. They have just looked very weak without AB or Faf being with them. The wristies just took them apart.

Fantastic victory, hopefully India can do the same in England and Oz.[DOUBLEPOST=1518804196][/DOUBLEPOST]
For some reasons Heinrich Klassen looks like Martin Guptill (atleast for me :p)
He looked like another Jonny Bairstow to me at first sight. :D

Gavaskar ON AIR said that Kohli hadn't scored a hundred in his first 104 ODI's and his next hundred have yielded 35. That's worse than making a 6-0 prediction.

Him and Manjerekar are absolute chimpanzees. They don't deserve to be trolled, they deserve to be fired. They just don't have the common cricketing sense to pass judgement. It convinces me day after day that just because you've played the game doesn't mean you know the game more.
