Straight Drive Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Great decision. Very mindful of responsibility towards performance. Not sure Shreyas Iyer is the right one to lead the T20 team. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pant is barely 20 and was removed from Delhi captaincy because it was effecting his game according to the the delhi big shots.

You never know whether he will be in playing 11's as frequently as Rishabh is.It's better imo to select a established T20 players as captain over someone who is relatively very less prolific in T20. The confidence due to success in the format can flow in captaincy as well. Yes, Shreyas was retained, along with Morris and Rishabh.

The point you mentioned in previous post is valid. I also came across reports that Rishabh's form was affected by captaincy in domestic cricket. Probably this is a stop gap solution. Punter is possibly avoiding putting more pressure on their most prolific batsman this season. It's a fair decision. Might give it to Rishabh afresh next season.

If it is for performance he should have quit much before that. If I recall correctly, both Sachin & Ponting (Pondulkar) dropped themselves in mid series citing poor form and Rohit started leading the side. Ponting never played again but Sachin came back as a player in the later part of IPL. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the article http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2013/content/story/637927.html That is about retirement. Not sure about stepping down before that.
