What goes through a batsman's mind when dismissed on 199

#3 How good would it have been

A million thoughts run in a batsman’s mind right after getting out before a landmark

Whenever a player in any sport comes close to reaching a particular milestone and goes on to miss it, he keeps on ruing his miss and ponders what could have been. And in cricket, it isn’t any different, be it missing a bowling milestone or missing a batting milestone or ending the runner-up in a World Cup.

When dismissed on 199, a batsman sits in the pavilion and wonders what could have been if he would have got to that milestone; maybe he could have gone on to score a triple hundred or for somebody like Virat Kohli or Joe Root may have thought about breaking Brian Lara’s record.

For a cricketer who has been out of form for a long time, he would have regretted about how brilliant a comeback it would have been if he had got to a double-century.
