Virat Kohli: good at captaincy, useless at endings

IPL, T20 and now Tests: cricket’s biggest star has yet to have a curtain call befitting his achievements

Given he has been the most compelling box-office hit in cricket for most of the past decade, it is surprising quite how bad Virat Kohli is at endings.

He has been scripting a number of different ones over the recent past. He has not nailed one of them yet. Wasn’t he always supposed to be a great finisher?

It all started back in September, when he announced he would be stepping down as captain of India’s T20 side. That was followed a few days later by him releasing a video from a net session in Dubai saying he would be doing similar in his role with Royal Challengers Bangalore.

His side were still vying for honours in the Indian Premier League at that stage. It could have worked as a spur for them, one last push for that first title to send off their talisman after his years of service.

Then it all fell flat. They made it to the playoffs at least. But in the first eliminator final in Sharjah, Bangalore barely threw a punch against Kolkata Knight Riders. Their ending was meek.

Neither did the advanced notice he had provided work in international T20 cricket. His India side – labelled favourites, despite going into the tournament running on fumes after the surplus of cricket they had already played – were mediocre at the T20 World Cup in the UAE.

India were thrashed at historic levels by Pakistan, which basically accounted for them. In the wake of that loss, Kohli launched an admirably spiky defence of the players who had suffered obscene abuse.

Was his combativeness at that point a manifestation of the anger he was feeling that his chance at a trophy was slipping through his grasp? Hardly. He has always been that way. Anger, resentment, discontentment fuelled most of his best times, too.

And now, this. There was no advanced notice this time. No teasers. In fact, given he had cited a desire to excel in the long format – his favourite – Kohli’s decision to pass on the Test captaincy this week was a bombshell.

In an Instagram post punctuated with two exclamation marks, Rohit Sharma, who assumed the T20 job from Kohli, professed himself “shocked”. He was not the only one.

After all, Kohli had said in September the reason for sidelining T20 leadership was: “I feel I need to give myself space to fully ready to lead the Indian team in Test and ODI cricket.”

Kohli’s commitment to Test cricket, both in deeds and – often just as importantly – words has been vital to a format which seems to be permanently on life support.

He has coloured Test cricket more than anyone else in its recent past. His side won all over the world (even if he was absent when they had arguably their finest success, in Australia).

So, what changed in the four months since September? The facts are that, in that time, India have won a home Test series against New Zealand, and lost one away in South Africa.

Maybe predictably, it all ended in a stream of vitriol. Kohli had reached a level of self-parody by screaming apoplectically at an inanimate object in his penultimate day in office. Prickly to the end, he ranted at a stump-microphone after Dean Elgar’s scarcely believable LBW reprieve during the Proteas run-chase.

Less predictably, South Africa made it through. To have the full stop applied to Kohli’s highly-successful stint in charge by a loss to an inexperienced South Africa side light on household names feels unbecoming.

OK, so nobody has died. But for one of the most glittering stars of the country that gave the world Bollywood, it might have been fair to expect a happier ending.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Water waste

In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.

Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.

A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.

The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
