I remember that Natwest final. I slept. Got up in the morning and saw we pulled off the biggest comeback which I ever remember.Ya, was going to add this. Right from his younger days, Sachin carried a Billion people's expectations. The expectation when he used to come to bat and the shush when he got out was something else. At least till now, same pressure is not put on Kohli.
If there has to be one example of expectation from Sachin I recall reading an incident after the final match of Natwest trophy in 2002 in England which Yuvraj-Kaif won it against all expectations. When Kaif's family was asked about his heroics and how they felt, they answered, "When Sachin got out, we switched off and went for movie!"
lol yes. When he was feeling very happy at that stunning catch, I was saying in my mind, "you will regret this!" Yuvi would have got out soon after anyway though.
I think Yuvi's knock is being undervalued, he did what was needed when it was required. Probably got out at the right time too, mind, but the partnership between him and Kohli swung the game Indias way. Australia's total was probably 20 runs under par and the only way they were going to win that was chipping away with the wickets.
Was such a howler to allow Yuvi to carry on.
Aussies have always been arrogant.
Told you Kohli is best in T20
What has Finch done? Seems an alright bloke.
A lot of twos were missed due to Yuvraj's pain. The partnership lost its momentum and fortunately Yuvraj got out before the run rate got out of hand. Dhoni being rapid between wickets put less pressure on Kohli to force the issue
Tbf Kohli, Dhawan, Rohit are also arrogant...
Love his attitude. Guy hates losing and absolutely thrives under pressure. Fantastic.
So basically arrogance is fine when one of your own has it but everyone else is a tosser...
But i hated only Ponting from the earlier generation. Warne if I stretch it a bit. Hayden, GIlly, Martyn, McGrath. Even Lee was likeable once he stopped his antics from 2003 wc (those celebrations).
Kohli has actually been pretty calm (or rather calmer) for 2 years or so now. Hardly swears and doesnt lose his head much. Havent really seen Dhawan being arrogant tbh. Rohit is a prick though yes. Most others like Raina, Dhoni, Jadeja are all pretty nice people.
Yeah came in a flow.
He is decent enough. Him Maxi and Faulkner are like the only players i like in this team Gilly was the only one who showed opposition any respect out of those lot. Mcgrath was a notorious bad loser.But i hated only Ponting from the earlier generation. Warne if I stretch it a bit. Hayden, GIlly, Martyn, McGrath.

In hindsight it looks like it set us up well but Kohli's innings doesn't happen every time.
Not what I said.
JohnsonThe Aussie team of the 90s-00s are labelled arrogant.
Dog. Tail. Legs.
Love the unexpected twist that this post took
Dude! Kohli averages something insane like 90+ when chasing in T20s! T20s! 9 times out of 10 he is going to win you the match in high pressure situations.
