A very interesting observation by Srinivasan Narayanan. India loses despite Kohlis fighting century The Hindu caption today Disappointed with such obsession with personal landmarks. It is this very glorification that induces people like Murali Vijay to regard an ordinary single as something very very precious and change the style of playing and interrupt the flow and get out out on nervous 99s. Had he focused more on the single objective of extending the partnership (worth 185 then) till an hour more, India perhaps would hv been home and dry. When media and fans place undue importance on centuries than team results we influence player behavior and then later even accuse them of being selfish. Structure influences behaviour is a well known theory. Had The Hindu captioned it as Despite Kohli-Vijays fighting 185 partnership or to that effect, players would be incentivised to work in partnerships for team wins.
