Temujin Khaghan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yuvraj singh is the iron leg for any IPL team.. Unlike Gayle he won't perform either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KXIP runs on a budget and don't lavish on the players' pleasures.. whereas, rcb have sent Gayle to mallya's palatial bungalow in Goa to enjoy the weekend after he scored a century for rcb.

sourab10forever Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Said this earlier as well...he is a shít captain. Another ICF hype. So many illogical decisions taken just to do something flamboyant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollack Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Lol looking too much into his captaincy. Giving far too credit in victories and abuse in loss. Kings have a non existent batting lineup beyond Gayle and Rahul. How do you expect them to win?

philcric Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Kings XI have pushed themselves into a corner unnecessarily. Lot of non-performing players. Batting is their main problem. Keep it simple. 6 batsmen, 5 bowlers, no 'all-rounders'. Gayle + Rahul Finch Tiwary Nair Yuvi * Ashwin Tye Mohit Rajpoot Mujeeb Top 3 have to do the heavy lifting. Yuvi at #6 will have no choice but to go for his shots. Whatever few good innings he played in the last few seasons came when he went for his shots and not build an innings.

sriniwu Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 pathetic of him to say that the bowlers have won matches so far when clearly KLR and Gayle have saved them on more than one occasion.. except Mujeeb their bowling sucks.. Ashwin himself comes on to bowl when the batsmen are looking to consolidate so that his bowling figures looked dressed up and nice.. he has his own sense of bloated self-importance and ego to blame.. nothing else..

Lannister Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I wonder on what basis did they include him in the squad. He's a big liability in LOIs and here they have made him captain. It's time for Rahul to take the mantle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Building a team around retirement home escapees is asking for trouble. There's a reason the old man is known as Chris Fayle. Yuvraj Singh has been Yuseless since circa 2014. Add that to a dire middle order, mediocre oversees players & trundlers who regularly get smashed and its a surprise they are not near the bottom of the table. It's a horribly constructed team. adi B, Gollum and Switchblade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensible-indian Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) People are being too emotional. Ashwin the bowler should be criticized. As a captain, he is fabulous. The way he controls the game on the field was refreshing to see. Think about it.... This is the same bowling lineup he used to defend par/slightly sub par scores in the first half. A few wrong selection calls doesn't warrant him getting sacked but chances are he will get sacked if Kings XI don't make the playoffs. If only he had a decent middle order, Kings would have qualified by now.

The only game Mujib did not play, he looked pedestal. Making hundreds of changes does not make one a good captain. He tries too many things as evident from his bowling - legspin, carrom ball, arm ball, stop ball and finally cant ball. Similarly he is trying too many things in captaincy as well. I am a fan of Ashwin, but at present he is at the same level as Bhajji as a bowler, if not worse. Its high time he focuses on his off spin...else he will be out of the test team also pretty soon. adi B, Gollum and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
