beetle Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I think he is a very good captain...one of the better ones. Plus a really good T 20 player. raki05, sscomp32, SK_IH and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Horse Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 @SK_IH because he's not flashy...there is always someone who'll take away the limelight The team was dropping sitters but he remained composed throughout as a captain. An out and out team man..giving responsibility to youngsters like Prasidh. I just hope he promotes Gill up the order, otherwise has been an excellent leader for KKR. velu, raki05, Straight Drive and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscomp32 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Because he hasn't won anything yet :)Though he has been very good. Even last year he was good. I liked the fact yesterday that he bowled kuldeep at Ingram knowing he will struggle :) even though delhi countered it with sending an Indian but kuldeep prevailed. Gutsy captaincy. The only mistake was playing Nikhil Naik when it should have been carlos with Nitish opening. Also should send Gill at 3.

raki05 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Yes though his position till now is always been questioned in all form of cricket but he never let that feeling cascaded to any youngster. He always made them feel inclusive and secure and even when players commit mistakes at tough situations, he always respond with smile and say not to worry. A mark of true leader. Also always promote youngsters and other batsmen ahead of him and respect the oldies in the team ex: Uthappa is so out of touch but as he is a senior member and part of KKR even earlier than dk , so always promoted him ahead of himself and allow him to bat at his fav position in top 3. This is the sole reason entire team us giving their 100%. When kully got belted earlier he got him out of attack and again brought him back at the end which turned out to be a marvelous decision and kully also felt captain still has trust in him and he return the favor with a good performance. So all in all a player who has always been at the receiving end of media, fan and ex captain and coaches turn out to be the best leader of this tournament, kkr may lost match yday but DK earn my respect with his expectular batting and captaincy. Hats off to him. Edited March 31, 2019 by raki05 SK_IH and prasen82 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Cliff Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The narrative isn't interesting enough. He's neither a youngsta beauty who can be a future India captain nor is he a established fat cat who could do with a bit of boosting.

DK should be our T20 captain heading to 2020 WT20, no Kohli please. Also he finds a spot on merit in that format, not sure even present version of Sumo Rohit could say that especially with the emergence of Shaw.

Adi BB Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Sadly this is the world we live in ,paid media ,paid commies and rigorous PR machinery are ruling the roost . Had it been "you know who" the whole social media and star team would have gone nuts and we'd have seen thousands of meme, gifs etc Straight Drive, Laaloo, bahubali and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahulrulezz Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Are you guys serious. I am one of the hardcore supporters of Kkr but Kd is making me switch my alliance to Delhi. The guys plays with 3 overseas players!!! So paying 7 crores to Carlos Braithwate was a waste of money!!! he plays his best buddy Robin Uthappa match over match in top4 when time after Uthappa has flopped and killed alll the momentum made by opening stand he played Nikhil Naik over Rinku’s singh. Rinku Singh was the highest scores in Indian domestic season in all three format and was the only Guy inn doemstics to play with high strike rate. Yet the bigger selected Nikhil Naik over him plays Shubham Gill at Number 6. He should be taking Uthappas spot As per Dk, Uthappa is top 3 slogger of Kkr!! Seriously wtf was Uthappa doing playing in super over PATHETIC PATHETIC CAPTAIN. Credit to Kuldeep though. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naik did well in the Mushtaq Ali trophy, clearly he isn't IPL level looks like....however why they played 3 overseas players is beyond me...even if not Narine they should have played Brathwaite.

He has had many ups and downs. He got selected early for National duty and kept loosing form only to come back strong and then loose form again. Credit to him for coming back again and again. He pretty much did the same with his domestic career, i wont be surprised if he looses form in IPL and then plays as a lower order bat for some other franchise and finds good success. Its his way.

Reason is he has a lot of experience at state level. He took his state singlehandedly to vijaya hazare tournament win two years back scoring close to 900 runs in a single season. raki05 and flamy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 So far KKR has been competitive mainly because of Russell's performances .... Similarly, SRH because of Warner-Bairstow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijay Shankar was captain as far as I know. :) I know being a senior he was definitely involved but just wanted to correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
