Forever Indian Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Both Dhoni and Kolhi have done horrendous team selections. But you have to give it to Dhoni that atleast he kicked out oldies at the start of his captaincy and got in youngsters who are the pillars of today's team. Kohli seems so F*cking reluctant to give more chances to youngsters and hell bent on giving chances back to his buddies and undeserving oldies (including Dhoni).

This I agree with, dhoni actually did good job by kicking out some of the dead woods like bhajji, laxman etc. from odis, but kohli is turning out to be a coward by sticking with ttfs like ishant and not trying/giving confidence to youngsters.

bowl_out Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 2009-12 was a phase when selection was done purely based on IPL - all names listed above were one match/one season IPL wonders. I still remember people asking to include Swapnil Asnodkar and Paul Valthaty in the Indian team based on their IPL performance.. Selectors/captains realized the mistake over time.. happy to see that domestic performances are given great deal of importance in selections recently.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 No captain works like that, that era is gone How hard is it to accept a captain have wrong choices as well. Har baat men political angle kyun nikalana Kohli has always loved match winners , now on outside dhawan n rohit are those but those are wrong choices in many ways. Kohli like every other captain has a style and that will have both sides of coin everytime. Link to comment

But you have to give it to Dhoni that atleast he kicked out oldies at the start Thats a myth that he kicked out oldies lol. Sachin did not want to play 2020 for India and Ganguly and co were on their way out anyway after shambolic 2007 wc. Dhoni did want certain player and was assertive but something are just overe exaggerated, especially now since the events took place 10 years ago. Dhoni in his tenure did not try too many things and was hell bent in trying same shyt. Kohli even though we all want him to try different things and hasn’t done enough, still has tried Siraj, dropped Yuvi, not picked guys like Raina easily over other guys etc. You are comparing a person who captained India 10 plus years to Kohli who has just became captain Full time In all the formats. This new captain has already made few changes and given chances to many youngsters including like Chahal, Kuldeep ahead of Jadeja/Ashwin etc. Things don’t change over night, but to prove your point, don’t make it sound as if past captains would make changes over night to give every youngster in India their chance. Kohli isn’t perfect captain but he has backed the right guys or most of the rght things are being done. He can not please you me and every ICF member everytime. We all like different players so he is not there to make all of us happy. Live with this captain because he is going to be our captain for the next 5 years at least and I must say I rather have this guy than anyone to lead the Indian team. express bowling, tweaker, speedheat and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment

IF u see ganguly had runs under him......only a captain strong word wud have gotten him out Gambhir n sehwag were dropped to Yuvraj wasnt backed by him much post his return Bhajji wasnt backed either much once he was done 1 minute ago, Cricketics said: Dhoni in his tenure did not try too many things and was hell bent in trying same shyt.

About yuvi being dropped, he shudnt have come back in the 1st place .

Shunya Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Kohli is a pussy while making tough selection decisions and strategies. New age India likes over the top aggression and drama on screen and he likes to cater to them in interviews with bhashanbaazi or showing OTT emotions on camera. Cringeworthy sometimes, but it sells nowadays with dumb drama-hungry people so in the end it doesn't matter who is selected or not. The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment

He was being picked under Dhoni when Dhoni was the captain and decided to hand over the captaincy to Kohli. Yuvi was out with injury and did not play the t20 world cup because of it in the middle and since missing that out, he kept going to NCA for rehab and was recovering to be picked for the Indian ODI team and was already in the selector’s scheme of things. However when he was dit and was getting livked, Dhoni decided to leave the captaincy. This confuses a lot of people but if you do a simple reaearch on articles, you can easily find how Yuvi is about to get picked for Indian team. Everyone knew or had a feeling that Yuvi will be picked the moment he was available after injury since he was already part od Indian t20 team but got injured which even forced him to miss t20 world cup. So yes, Dhoni or selectors picked him. Kohli continued probably to back his selection once he was picked, and then got him dropped post CT. Link to comment
