BCCI may cut the powers of Virat Kohli, Ravi Shastri


Recommended Posts

1. No other Indian batsman except Kohli has gone past 50 in four innings.

2. This despite altering the structure of the tour to accommodate limited versions ahead of the Tests. It was argued by Shastri and Kohli that such a step will help the players acclimatise ahead of the Test series

3. India have dropped around 50 catches since R Sridhar has taken over as fielding coach. His and the role of batting coach Sanjay Bangar will come under scrutiny.

4. The need of a touring selector will be discussed, and this step to avoid Kohli and Shastri having unhindered say in the team selection process. The BCCI honchos feel that having an independent opinion could benefit while picking up the team.

There is something positive to take from this.

Don't diss luck though. Dhoni was a very lucky captain in many, many ways.

 

Hell, Sarfraz is probably one of the luckiest captains I've seen. Imran was lucky in 1992 when the rain came. Dhoni was hell lucky in 2007 when Misbah had the weirdest brain freeze he's had in his entire career. Dhoni was again lucky when we dropped Tendulkar in 2011. Dhoni was lucky when Sri Lankan openers had a brain freeze in the final and tried to play test cricket on a good pitch.

 

Most captains have luck.

If drop catches, poor Pakistani fielding and Dhoni squeeze (which you referred as  brain freeze of opponent bats) are regular instances, how do you call that luck. One and only lucky person in cricketing world is Imran. He won the world cup because for some reason, it kept favouring his side through out the tournament.

 

Probably he was destined to become PM of Pakistan and cricket world cup was simply part of the chain. You do know how he became PM, right? A person who cheats on simple county game, How morally correct he would be?

This is called luck. Pure golden luck.
