Virat Kohli, a highly-talented upcoming cricketer, needs no introduction among the cricket circles. Aged 25, he already holds multiple records in ODIs. In all probability, I think he is the fastest cricketer to join the elite club of "25 international centuries" in the modern era. Look forward to your suggestions —Vensatry (Ping) 07:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "and the present " see WP:ASOF.
  • Just "Viv Richards" is fine, no need for his knighthood (or any other titles).
  • "Kohli made 25 centuries" ->" has made"
  • move "in international cricket to before the description of Test and ODI.
  • " His "86-ball 133"" why in quotes?
    • Because I thought 86-ball 133 not out won't sound that good. —Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "where Kohli made his career-best score." career-highest, and no need for a full stop.
  • Any reason the tables aren't sortable?

  • Comments - The references should all follow the same date format. Aureez (Talk) 19:06, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Pardon me, but I cannot find any inconsistency. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • You use Day Month Year and Year-Month-Day. Aureez (Talk) 06:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was looking at every other part except the dates. Fixed now —Vensatry (Ping) 07:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Sufur222

Huge fan of Kohli, so I'll happily leave a few comments.

  • "at the Eden Gardens" → are you sure? I've only ever heard referred to as "Eden Gardens", without the "the".
  • "Making his Test cricket debut against the West Indies" → when? I'd also rephrase this to "After making his Test cricket debut against the West Indies in xxxx,...".
  • "described Kohli's innings to be" → "described Kohli's innings as" makes more grammatical sense.
  • "six Test cricket" → "six in Test cricket", surely?
  • "The first of the two, 100 not out was scored" → "The first of the two, 100 not out, was scored"
  • "He followed that with a 61-ball century in another match of the same series." → seeing as you've already referred to both centuries in the previous sentence, the second one more indirectly, I'd reword this as it seems to be introducing it as a completely new century when you've already mentioned it, i.e. "in another match of the same series", when you've already stated exactly which series both centuries were scored in.
  • "India had lost only two matches" → when what happened? When Kolhi scored a century, or when he got one in the second innings? Make this clearer.
  • "Between his debut Twenty20 International match in 2010 and his latest in 2013" → seeing as he played in the game today against Pakistan (and still hasn't scored a century), the end of this sentence should be changed to "his latest in 2014".

That's all – just a few grammar fixes, as the tables look fine. A future legend of the game, one hopes, that I'm happy to offer suggestions on improving their Wikipedia content towards. Any queries on my comments, don't hesitate to ask me – I'll support when everything is sorted. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 18:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sufur222: Thanks a lot for visiting the page. Hope I've addressed your comments! —Vensatry (Ping) 07:39, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). My only issue would be to make the Footnotes and References their own separate two-level subsections. Once that's done I'd feel ready to Support. Let me know when that's done, — Cirt (talk) 06:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Cirt: I don't have any issues implementing the suggestion. But do you see any problem in nesting both under a single section or is it an MoS violation? —Vensatry (Ping) 08:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • It just seems redundant. Let me know once this is addressed and I'll feel more comfortable supporting. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, thanks for being responsive to my comments. — Cirt (talk) 09:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • "he has made 25 centuries in international cricket—nineteen in One Day Internationals (ODI) and six in Test cricket—as of February 2014" - 25 should be in words to match the other two
    • "His "86-ball 133" not out against Sri Lanka" - why the quote marks around "86-ball 133"........?
      • As I said earlier, "86-ball 133 not out" won't sound that good. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • "while playing against West Indies in a tri-nation tournament" => "while playing against the West Indies in a tri-nation tournament"
    • "Out of his 19 ODI centuries, 13 had come in the second innings, and India had lost only two matches when Kohli made a century" => "Out of his 19 ODI centuries, 13 have come in the second innings, and India have lost only two matches when Kohli made a century"
    • "As of February 2014, he holds the record for the fastest player to score 19 centuries in ODIs" - there's a record for the fastest player to get 19 centuries? Seems a bit random.........
      • That's a record indeed! Rephrased the sentence. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • "The result of the match was based upon Duckworth–Lewis method" => "The result of the match was based upon the Duckworth–Lewis method"
  • Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • looking pretty good, but I still don't understand the significance of being the fastest to 19 ODI centuries. It's a completely random number and seems meaningless. Does someone's article somewhere on WP state that they were the fastest to 8 centuries, or 17, or 23? Do you see what I'm getting at? Why is being the fastest to 19 in any way important or significant? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:59, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Isn't it related to his centuries. Currently there are only six players who have made 19+ centuries (five of them are retired). Doesn't it make the reader understand that he has a good conversion rate? We have mentions about players scoring 5000, 6000, 7000 runs and so on in some articles. If you're still not convinced, have a look at the rephrased sentence now. If it's the only issue that's stopping this list to becoming an FLC, I'll remove it. —Vensatry (Ping) 07:52, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe have something like "His 19 ODI centuries have been achieved in [nn] matches, faster than any other player to reach this figure". That takes away the suggestion that an official record is kept of how fast players get to the rather specific/random number of 19 centuries -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:32, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - all looks good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
