Why Is Virat Kohli not the best batsman in the world?

Is Virat Kohli the best batsman of the world

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this blog. As you know I am a CRAZY Indian cricket fan, there is no point in me not loving the best Indian batsman of the modern era. But still I am not convinced that Virat Kohli is the best batsman of the world.[What??] After reading this,you would criticize me a lot but sometimes truths are very bitter and this one case where the truth is bitter. So let us see, why this is true ? 

VIRAT'S  STRENGTHS

Yes, Virat has many strengths[You would be happy reading this]. So, what are his strengths ??
  1. He has a very good footwork due to which he is a very good batsman against spin. He also reads spinners very well and therefore he does not have any major weaknesses against variations in spin.
  2. He has no problem in hitting boundaries ,so he is also a very good hitter and this is even true because he has a very good strike rate for a no. 3 batsman even in T20's.
  3. He is even a very good batsman against fast bowling [but has some technical issues which we will discover later] He does not have any problem in playing express pace and he even picks up slower deliveries very well. Playing short balls is also not a problem for Virat.
So, why is he not the best if he has so may strengths?

HE EVEN HAS SOME WEAKNESSES

Virat has some weaknesses which critics have observed all over the years and let us see them now:     
  1. We saw this weakness back in 2014 in England when he was struggling against swinging deliveries. Every Indian batsman was struggling in that tour versus England but no one struggled as badly as Virat did. James Anderson and others kept on bowling the perfect good length on the 5th stump line and swung the ball from east to west which made Virat edge the ball and hand it over to the slips.
  2. Whenever  a ball is bowled wide from the stumps[just close to the wide line on the off side], Virat throws his bat for playing a drive and edges the ball many times and again hands over the ball to the slips.
You now know the weaknesses of Virat Kohli but some of you would disagree telling me that Virat has corrected all these issues, but let me ask you how do you prove that his corrections were successful or not ?
After the 2014 tour of England when did he come across with the difficult conditions that he faced in England? The answer is ,very less number of times and whenever he came across difficult conditions he was not always successful.[This is the time when you would get angry with me but sorry for that] 

 DO OTHER BATSMAN NOT HAVE WEAKNESSES ??

Virat is not the only person having weaknesses. Even others have a lot of weaknesses.

SO THE CONCLUSION IS THAT EVERY BATSMAN IS HAVING WEAKNESSES,SO WHY MUST WE DECLARE A BATSMAN TO THE BEST??[This is not right]

So, please don't declare Virat as the best batsman. This becomes very unfair to other batsman of the world who are comparable to Virat. [ You would not find many stats in this blog because I am not a big fan of comparing players with the stats they have]

Digital Marketing: A simple overview for beginners !!

You wouldn't be knowing it that even you are a part of some or the other  Digital marketing campaign running in some part of the world. Digital Marketing has become so common in our lives but yet many of us don't know much about it. That is why, in this article of mine I thought of  giving you an overview of one of the commonest things in our life which is ' Digital Marketing '.

Is BYJU's worth it for school studies??

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this blog. I am a student studying in std. 9 .I have not joint any normal  coaching classes for maths and science ever in my life. But my first coaching class for maths and science was unique and very different. Yes, this coaching class was BYJU's- the learning app.... [The name itself is so cool, isn't it?] But let us see that whether the teaching of   Byju's   is also as attractive as it's name ?? My EXPERIENCE with BYJU's : I had bought a course of byju's back a couple of years ago. They gave me a SD card and I even bought a tablet from them in which I could put the SD card and watch their videos. The videos were nice and cool!! The teachers in the video also speak quite clearly which is required while watching an educational video. The teachers even have proper voice modulation.  But the thing which was different were the animations. Diagrams popping out, definitions coming, structures of plants an

How is Google helping India develop?

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this article. I write Educational articles and today I thought of educating you about what Google is doing to help India develop. You would actually think that you know a lot about Google because you use a lot of it's apps like Youtube, Google search, Google+ etc. however am sure that like many you might not have discovered Google completely. So, let's begin with the quest now and find how Google is helping India develop! Why is Google helping India develop? The simple answer is that Google is helping India because India is helping Google become better (What!!) Yes, it's true :) India is a counry where 800 million people live in rural ares and don't have any access to the internet. Google looks at these 800 million people as an opportunity rather than the inability of the country. On the other hand, India is also a country where there are millions of Internet and Google users. Isn't this a huge amount of da

Digital India: Why won't it work in our country?

Hey!! I thought it was a joke..........but it made me realize that 'Yes'  , my India is changing or at least trying to change. Yes, I am talking about the Digital India movement. I couldn't believe that such a movement could even be introduced in India. The biggest reason for this change in our country according to me is our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Our Government is trying to do hundreds of things for the betterment of our country but the most important point is that are these changes even made effective at the ground level or are such things gimmicks which will just add up to the speeches of our PM in the next elections ? In this article of mine, I'll talk about everything about the 'DIGITAL INDIA MOVEMENT' and why it's chances of being successful in our country is very low. What is the Digital India Movement? Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government services are made available to citizens ele

Can Pro-Kabaddi pick-up in India as IPL did?

Can Pro-Kabaddi pick up as IPL did? Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this article. I am a big fan of cricket and as I live in India, it's obvious that I even love the IPL. Such has been the magic of IPL ,that for some it is just a cricket match, for some it's like this:   OR.. LIKE THIS: And for some, IPL is even their bread and butter: (match-fixing) But, as the IPL was getting older and older, getting some wrinkles on it's face(allegations of match-fixing), it's small brother named the Pro kabaddi league took birth in 2014.  AND BOOOM!!  1st season Pro kabaddi league: 552 million viewers (Not a joke!) 11 huge sponsors!! 70 crores ad revenue!! All these stats are not as huge as the stats of IPL but then too for a league to generate such great numbers for the 1st season and for a sport which is not too popular at the global level is a big thing. Why this popularity? I used to ask my grand mother about how kabaddi

SSC vs CBSE vs ICSE : Which is the best?

Hi all !! this is suven jagtiani writing this blog.  I am a sincere student studying in 9th grade. I am in a school which follows the the SSC board. Sometimes My cousins and friends  pull my legs telling me that how can I learn from a board like SSC because they followed the syllabus of CBSE and ICSE[which they considered to be much better and difficult than SSC]. This made me feel that is the SSC board really so bad?   So after 9 years studying in SSC, I thought of writing this blog to explain you about the differences in the so called "INDIAN BOARDS". CBSE [Central board of secondary education] IS THIS BOARD PRESCRIBED BY OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY GOOD? CBSE board is very popular for it's NCERT books and every expert would tell you that all competitive entrance exams are based on CBSE, but let's see the real truth: PROS :  The syllabus and books of CBSE board is very well designed. Science and Maths are well explained in NCERT books. The b

Why do Indian students study a lot?

Why do Indian students study a lot? Note: This is the point of view of a 9th grade Indian student. Talk about ironies and you would realize that India is a big land of ironies. I am actually writing this article to explain you one of the biggest ironies in India. I am sure that you would understand it as you read this article. Now, let's come on to our own Indian students. There is something very characteristic about us. We have the ability to keep our eyes open even when our brain is closed. Time table of an average Indian student: Get up in the morning, pack your bag and go to school. Waste 6 hours in the school.(For many of us)  Eat lunch and head towards tutions.  Listen to the teacher for 3 hours, complete assignments,learn answers and fun with friends. Come back, play, eat dinner and go to sleep. Looking at the time table logically, one would feel that an Indian  student studies for 6 + 3 (School + tutions) i.e 9 hrs. "AOOOHHH!! We study for 9 hours

Is the IGCSE board really worth it?

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this blog. I am a student studying in 9th grade. When I had taken my admission  in school, there was a trend that parents only used to admit their children in schools which were near their house. But now the trend has changed and parents are comparing schools with the board which the schools follow. Many boards have now come up in India and parents have now become spoil for choices. So I decided that is IGCSE , India's one of the most expensive boards really worth it ?? This blog will even tell you that whether it is right to know the quality of the board with the fees that it takes. So, for answering this question, I first took the interview of Ms. Kavita Sukhani ,(Presently head of NEXT School  , Mulund(West) , and has been IGCSE Coordinator at  ECOLE MONDIALE WORLD SCHOOL, Mumbai ), and got some wonderful inputs. Initially, those who are just un-aware of  the IGCSE board, make sure of visiting  their website here .

Suresh Raina : A good player, a better person

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this blog. I am big fan of cricket. I observe cricket very closely and even the behavior of players. Over the years, I have observed 1 cricket player on whom I had to write this article not due to the way he plays but due to the kind of person he is. Yes, this cricketer is Suresh Raina. In this article, you are going to know about the struggles that Suresh Raina faced when he was young, some of his best moments on the cricket field and many more things about him. Early STRUGGLES Very rarely do we get a heading in an article of a sports person as " Early struggles" but such was Suresh Raina's life. The Train Incident Only 13, Raina was traveling to Agra with a bunch of teenagers. To cope up with the winter cold, Raina was wearing his cricket kit, sleeping over a newspaper. Soon he felt a weight on his chest and before he could react, a big kid stood on his chest and started urinating on his face. Raina revealed

Why do we love MS Dhoni so much ?

Hello all!! This is Suven Jagtiani writing this article. I am a big fan of cricket and I am from India and off course if I am an Indian cricket fan, I am even a fan of MS Dhoni. Such a person MS Dhoni is, we like him just so much. But, why do we love him so much?? Let's uncover the answer to this question right in this article!! Is our love for MSD just due to his success ?? NO! NO! NO!  not at all. I know MS Dhoni has had a very successful career. He has won India all the 3 ICC tournaments with his great captaincy, he has won us many games with his batting skills, he had made India the number 1  test side and so many other things....... He is so dependable that we can't imagine an side now without MS Dhoni. But I can assure you that this love that we have for him is not just due to this success of his. "MSD has give us an invaluable thing which is known as 'happiness' due to which we love him so much"  How does MSD give us this happiness ?? It is not
