But somehow there is a feeling that everytime he walks out to bat he will score a hundred..and he never used to have a problem against spin and now he finds new ways to get out against spin

He has been struggling against spin since last 3 years. He is getting out to average spinners as well.

Yes and this problem with spinners started with IPL
Trying to be over aggressive v spin he has totally lost his confidence against spin.Even the oppositon immediately bring on spinners when he comes to bat.

Poll results very interesting !! 

Since when centuries are being considered to evaluate one’s form? Those stats don’t look that bad but its true that Kohli & Rohit performing no where close to what they used to do sometime back

And there are players like Shreyas Iyer, Surya Kumar, Venkatesh Iyer who are doing better job than these two but its hard to replace when overall consistency is considered so both kohli and rohit will get too many chances for their prev contribution to gain their form back

As i have come to understand… Performance in Sports is more of the mental state (contribution) than physical.

Hope he sorts out things in his head. As he used to be class apart player.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you here, hundreds scored do matter and are used as a benchmark worldwide for cricket stats.Show me a great batsman who has not scored a century for three years and counting.Same benchmark was used in the sacking of Rahane and Pujara and if Virat consistently underperforms he will face the sack for sure.No doubt he is great batsman but scores also need to support this.

Benchmarks don’t decide one’s form

A player scoring 3 100+ scores is no different than someone scoring 3 80/90+ scores, in the end their scores should help the team win the game (When they can’t, even those personal records won’t matter much)

 Yeah 100s look statistically great and some get very obsessive with them but i like players like pant who prefer to play their natural game (Score 4s,6s) even in their nineties

He is a class player but horribly short of big scores..
Hope he turns it around as he is a great batsman and asset for India 

He was pushed to MOON n got everything irrespective of if he deserve r not[Captain of all formats + RCB]  he should take BIG time break n work as team member only

Thats what happened now n i told reason for it enough of giving him chances he deserves a BIG time break..

he should take break from t20 and test, he is becoming liability in these formats..  should play ranji and come back if he is back to form…. As of now still good in ODI can easily score run a ball 50+ runs….
