Indian team captains can make everyone around them dance to their tunes. Ganguly, dhoni and now kohli. It is not going to chance.

 

They should include following in Indian coach qualification parameters:

Candidates lacking self respect and just desiring high salary are given preference.

This makes me think that we need at least two different captains for different formats..  Kohli for Test/ODI and RSharma for T20s..

no surprise Kumble is a good man who is trying to bring meritocracy to the team.

 

but Kohli is letting his favouritism to yuvi n ms get in the way.

 

n giving free ride to ash n lesser extent jaddu.

 

Kohli is great batsman but his captaincy is just poor.

Hats off to Kumble for keeping mum during Champions Trophy.. and then stepping down right after it. Still he hasnt said anything bad towards Kohli.. :adore:

Kohli also did not say anything bad about Kumble. It is the preference thing and shame that they could not solve it maturely behind the scene and have to end up with this.

Once the CAC realised the relationship was beyond repair, it asked the BCCI to take the negotiations process forward. "It was not a pleasant meeting," the board official, who has knowledge of Monday's meeting, said. According to this official Kohli remained "adamant" about his stand which might have helped Kumble make up his mind.

Although the Indian squad left for the Caribbean early on Monday morning, Kumble stayed back in London. As chairman of the ICC's cricket committee he is attending the chief executives committee meeting in London. "The CAC is likely to have told BCCI that the differences were not cricketing related but more of a personal nature. If he were to stick on, it would be very awkward on Anil's part. It is not good to handle someone as big as Anil in this manner."

F'in Idiot, f his attitude. He will lose more finals with his arrogance, choosing his coterie over practical choice.

Anil Kumble has stepped down as India coach, four days before the limited-overs tour of the Caribbean begins. Kumble's one-year contract ran out at the end of the Champions Trophy - India played the final on Sunday - but it was understood that he would remain India's coach for the West Indies tour while the board finalised who would be in charge going forward.

Despite a successful 2016-17 season under Kumble, the BCCI had advertised for fresh interviews for the head coach's position. In large part, this is thought to be because the board was concerned by player feedback on Kumble: some of them, including the captain Virat Kohli, said they were uncomfortable with the "intimidating" style of Kumble's man management.

It is understood that, on Monday, before Kohli departed for the Caribbean he met the BCCI top brass along with Kumble in London. The meeting was also attended by BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary, board chief executive officer Rahul Johri and MV Sridhar, general manager of cricket operations. The meeting was necessitated after the three-member cricket advisory committee (CAC) charged with finalising who will be coach informed the BCCI that it had failed to resolve the impasse between Kohli and Kumble.

Considering it was the CAC, comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, that had recommended and shortlisted Kumble as the final choice last year, it still felt he remained the first choice for the head coach position going forward. The BCCI had received six applications including that of Kumble for the fresh interview process. It is understood that the CAC did not meet Kumble at all after it was asked by the BCCI to make the final choice. "The differences seem irreparable," a board official, who is privy to the discussions, said. He agreed that Kohli was not ready to take a step back.

Some not so pleasant views coming out. These are not very good signs. :facepalm:

I don't mind a one man show Kohli too even if he gets a puppet to as a coach who agrees everything what Kohli says.

 

This is important.

 

This will prove how good or bad a captain Kohli is very soon. If Kohli makes the right decisions about olayers and India keeps on winning, then good and moment his decisions back fire, he can give captaincy to someone else. Clearly there was perhaps lot of difference in Kumble and Kohli whoch might have cost this final and hence Kumble has quit.

Kumble has played under 4 different captains all having a different personality than the one before Azhar,Sachin,Ganguly,Dravid

 

not only he never had a problem with them but every single on including Azhar has had only great things to say about him.

 

Hell even someone like Greg Chappell had no bad thing to say about him saying everyone should have a work ethic like him.

 

So clearly issue is not with Kumble here.

 

With the selections and other crap I am slowly becoming disheartened with Virat.

 

He is still 2nd only to Sachin for me(Rohit being an exception :p:) as someone who has given me belief but slowly I am coming to terms that he may not be the guy to lead us to the promised land as we once believed

Ofcourse you won't mind... Kohli is from Delhi afterall.. I wasnt believing when others used to say you are bias towards Delhi players.. but you clearly are..

Mate are you okay ? Kohli is not that bloody important that you are willing to put everything in his accordance and approval and stake the sport on the line ?  Indian team is bigger than Kohli.  As a captain you have to work the support/coaching staff .  When you work in a company / hospital / customer service / as an athlete -  You do not have the luxury to choose your management and surround yourself with yes-sayers !    Kohli's ego is getting too huge - Dravid/Tendulkar/Ganguly all backed Kumble , he was never known to be an issue as a player or as an analyst and his cricketing experience is way better than Kohli and Kohli does come across as a guy who wouldn't listen to someone against his own views.
