Kohli has taken the favouritism to the whole new level??

[gakgupta]

I am big fan of Kohli but you have to be fair in calling spades as spades.

This guy has taken this favouritism to the whole.new level. Even Dhoni would not have done this so blantantly and shamelessly.

With this attitude, i am afarid, he might kill indian cricket. Hopefully some sanity prevails and sensible decisions will be taken in the future.

Y. Chahal who is piss poor in this series has a RR of 7, imagine what Kuldeep would have done here.

Surprised that Kuldeep is dropped. Maybe it was Shastri’s call.

[Stradlater]

Superb batsman but a clueless captain.

kohli is genuinely poor when comes to team selection ...

dont think he is biased 

[Rightarmfast]

At this level, you are not poor at selecting. People know the talent of other players and what the team should require.

with kohli there’s a lot of other things going on. A lot of politics and a lot of money. India must the only team which is not playing its best players .

This. People are somehow led to believe that Kohli is making mistakes. He has played so many games and understands modern cricket better than most of people in world.

 

 

If he is selecting wrong players, it's not an error in judgement, rather it's intentional choice.

The reason he gave for Kuldeep's exclusion was 

Thw ground is bigger from sides and smaller in front. He can be thankful our captains are not asked any tough questions in PCs these days. If it was pre-2011 they would be ripped apart.

Also think KL Rahuls place is in threat after yesterday's knock,he has to prove himself day in and day out that he belongs there,ultimate talent of Pandey is benched,see how cruel they are,one failure and we will have the honour of watching how to win t20 matches the test way

Great batsman. But the most biased Indian captain ever.

We can only think Kohli is preserving Kuldeep for test series and for next years world cup.. Dont want him to be overexposed to the England batsmen

They have been playing cricket for almost two centuries and they cannot bat against spin properly yet. How can playing a series more against Kuldeep change their game overnight. If someone had to be dropped it should have been RCB spinner Chahal who had fared very poorly as compared to Kuldeep this series.

 

All of their batters apart Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow played against him this IPL. Still they flopped against him. No excuse for dropping Kuldeep imo. Chahal should have been dropped if he wanted one more pacer.

 

Also if that's logic why not drop Rahul who scored ton in first match to avoid their bowlers decoding him.

 

So next he will drop Rohit and Hardik to not overexpose them to England team ?

Kohli should not be the captain of all 3 formats. there is a huge conflict of interest.

[Lannister]

He is doing it intentionally. Think there's a lot of money involved and he knows he can get away with it because even the media is corrupt. There's no one there to ask him the right questions. 

Even if we are winning the series, we know we won't be winning anything important with this team.

very disappointing decision

[wanted_desi]

I am so emotionally disconnected from this team due to Corrupt Kaptaan.

but why would he do that , kuldeep is no mystery bowler, he relies on guile and loop, i personally wanted to see how he comes back after ordinary outing in the 2nd game

[Pollack]

Tbh I sensed kuldeep being dropped soon  after his 5fer. Every captain has his favourites. Dhoni had his too. But atleast he was good in hiding it. I mean he wouldn't have dropped an upcoming spinner who just took a 5fer next to next game itself. Kohli is unashamedly biased. I would still give him benefit of doubt if he gives proper reasons for whatever he does but most often than not those are hilarious.

Kuldeep needs to play as much as he can to sharpen his accuracy.

[The Dark Horse]

And not playing DK, persisting with Raina who was not even in the squad ffs.
