Straight Drive Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1 hour ago, Old guy said: its hilarious how every captain who is supposedly is much better than kohli has shat the bed so badly in this years ipl. lets look at rahane who even now has not figured out his battling line up and has not figured out opening which with butler is easy just open with him ffs and play klassen after samson who plays at 3 with all rounders like stokes and gowtham coming after and that is decent batting line up. he has messed up 2 chases by sending other crap players before gowtham. i dont even want to talk about ashwin who single handedly destroyed all momentum punjab had and bowls like coward hiding in middle overs. rohit has always been like this and i would like to think mumbai being inconsistent is totally on him..whats the point of duminy even ? they have been playing with 9/10 men entire ipl. i dont usually go after captaincy of players much but since these guys are being touted as alternatives its time they are judged bit harsher as its completely on them if their teams dont cross the play off line. Captaincy quality is degrading every passing year. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take IPL captaincy seriously because I am not sure whether a captain is making blunders intentionally or unintentionally. A lot of IPL matches are under cloud of suspicion as proved by banning of cricketers and franchisees. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohli at international level has made blunders. He tries to defy logic at time. But he is young, and as his blunders get criticised and matches are lost due to those decisions, I expect his captaincy will improve gradually .

Thus team was not banned too for two years... The team at the top currently has no guarantee to win the cup this year too...Winning aside, which Captain throws his own team members under the bus publicly? The players seem to respond well to his criticism , how does it matter ? in the end these guys know Dhoni backs them may be that gets the best out of them ? I dont listen to these post match interviews , cos they mean very little . Shunya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moochad Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Rohit should be like Dhawan in that both should be ODI only specialists. Rohit was good enough in T20s earlier, but he has peaked already and hasn't shown much recently or in WT20 chances he has gotten regarding recent editions. T20 team needs a complete revamp with new batsmen in particular. The last few WT20s it has been Kohli only who scores for us every time. 1 man can't be burdened with the entire battiing performance.

maniac Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thread in poor taste and reeks of hate...one of the finest cricketing minds of our times...sure a few things have not gone his way and the team lost,got them from 8 to almost pulling off a stunning comeback. why do we we focus on the negatives,let us take a moment,step back and appreciate the genius of our times.

I say that because he is the worst performing specialist batsman in MI having checked the scores. Let us look how MI players who have played more than 10 matches have done in comparison: Surya - 473 Lewis - 325 Rohit - 267 Multi-skilled players Hardik - 224 Ishan - 250 Even the multi-skilled players have contributed very near to his run contributions. Surya and Lewis are relatively very inexperienced at all levels of cricket. Lewis is a Chotta Gayle but still inexperienced. Both of them are way better in performance this year. Yes, Rohit is better overall but whatever from he shows in Test, ODI and T20i is totally irrelevant to performance of MI in IPL 2018. What matters is how much he scores in IPL and he has fared poorly as we see. Has 3 Ducks. The most by any of MI batsman.

Temujin Khaghan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Rohit Sharma getting out for 0(1) during Mumbai innings is like rajinikanth dying 2 minutes after opening titles... Wtf are we watching mi games if he gets out like that..? We should get rid of him before 2019WC... :/ Garuda and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniac Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I am happy in a way of Ro failing this IPL...This is a format he has nothing to prove-already called the King of the T20 format...has hit 100's,broken records(joint fastest 100),most 6's etc, has won multiple IPL's and Champions league....has a hattrick,taken some stunning catches,orchestrated some stunning comebacks. One is bound to take things casually when you have nothing left to prove. However,this failure might awaken the serpent force within him..we need to thank god that we are on the same side because an awakened Rozilla would mean as an opposition you have to be afraid....very very afraid.....Rozilla is coming to get you.
