Lala2790 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Given Pujara's success in the few opportunities he has had at Test cricket to captain, am I the only one that thinks he should be permanent captain? Pujara reminds me a lot of Misbah in that players love to play under him. Before the usual Indian clique cry that this is a troll, let us look at the facts; 1) Pujara had success against the world's best captain Steven Smith in a crucial winner takes all match - a match where Kolhi was absent 2) Rumours and innuendo about Kolhi having rifts and being divisive always seem to exist 3) Kolhi was a better player when he was under the leadership of Donhi rather than as a captain 4) He has a very busy schedule playing and captaining in ODIs, T20s and IPL 5) Pujara is an outstanding player - is firmly entrenched in the team and has a good cricketing brain Surely there are enough reasons to make the change....

Rasgulla Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If kohli is not there then it's Rahane in line.. So he is not even in the equation. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Why would you change a test captain when every thing seems to be going right for Indian test team? If we lose badly in South Africa and England, then we can talk about that. Right now there is no use of changing a test captain. Kohli is actually already closing in on becoming one of the greatest test captains from India and also in the world and decnet overseas leg next year will only make him earn more accolades.

wanted_desi Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Once Pujara fails in 4 or 5 inning, Rohit is going to replace him in the team and you are talking about making him captain. If i am Pujara, i would be really worried. Rasgulla, Lala2790 and Nonbeliever 1 1 1 Link to comment

Pujara belongs to second category. Edited November 8, 2017 by wanted_desi Link to comment
Vijy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 rahane is a far better bet, at least outside India. Che's record barring SA is quite ordinary abroad. Link to comment

Lala2790 bowls a leg spinning delivery, drifts in, pitches outside leg and rips past Vijy's outside edge where it is fumbled (again) by Akmal behind the stumps. Vijy really doesn't have a clue how to handle Lala2790 here Link to comment

He has been given a team of pacers also he hasnt been allowed to whatever pleases him. once kohli gets complete freedom to select proper team of his t20 tailunts for tests, i am certain that team will start doing better than Dhoni Link to comment
