maniac Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) So far SENA tests Lost in SA Lost in Eng Won 2-1 in Aus Now obviously no series win in Nzl WC Semis CT Finals I think it’s almost time to move on. WT20 is his last chance. now comparing with other captains Ganguly SENA tests lost in SA lost in Nzl Drew in Aus Drew in Eng special mention: won in Pak vs Pak a first. WC finals CT won Dhoni SENA tests SA - drew once, lost once Aus- lost and lost Nzl- Won and Lost Eng- Lost and Lost WC Won and Semis CT Lost in FR and Won WT20 Won,Lost in FR 3 times, Finals, Semis Dravid SA- lost but won a test which was a first Eng- won WC First round CT first round Azhar SENA Aus-Lost in 92 didn’t captain in 1999 Eng- lost and lost Nzl- lost and lost SA- lost in 92-93 didn’t captain in 1996 WC First Round, Semis and First Round So looks like most captains have only one lifecycle of SENA, WC,WT20,CT Apart from Dhoni and Azhar and as we can see usually it is diminishing returns mostly and a fresh change as always helped for example Azhar failed in 92 but in 1996-97 under Sachin we almost won a test and Sachin was a fresh captain then. Similarly Dhoni in 2007 WT20 and 2011 WC was good but then after that it was just a debacle every time. Our greatest captain Ganguly never captained twice in his Captaincy lifecycle of the above mentioned criteria. I think WT20 has to be the last chance for Kohli. If he wins another shot or else has to be done Edited February 26, 2020 by maniac Norman, SrinjayDutta, Stan AF and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment
maniac Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Also keep into account the team Kohli has. I personally think even though it is a no brainer that he has the best fast bowling attack ever or india on the batting front these Pujara’s and Rahane’s are not even close to the Fab 5.

SRT100 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think Kohli will hold on till the Test Championship. When India lose to Australia at Lords, then he will finally be removed. India are not remotely winning the T20 World Cup. There is daylight between Australia's best and India's best. The only remote chance India would have of beating Australia is if India chase and Hitman has a day out and bats in beast mode. Not impossible, but unlikely. Suhaan and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment

He’s going nowhere even if we lose next year at Lords. Wait, have we even qualified yet for the World Test Championship final? SRT100 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I dont judge captain by result but by how he uses his resources avl . This where Kohli will always fall short for me as he had the most and didnt utilize it well. In LOI, Kohli as captain is nowere close to dhoni. In test cricket i feel he has been let down by his core batting pujara n rahane down overseas. Sadly Vijay also faced his dip which is not kohli fault. Wasting time on dhawan is on him .

Gollum Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Why isn't Rohit the T20 captain already? What is Dada waiting for? sergio04, SrinjayDutta, Sgattick10 and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Remaining India games before the final are all right ones. India tours Australia and England come visiting India. The former, I am certain we aren’t winning. It all comes down to the last series.

Stan AF Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Agree with Maniac but i think the team management will give him a longer rope till the completion of WTC & the end of 2021 T20 WC in India. Link to comment

SrinjayDutta Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 At this rate, bo chance in lords though. Semis exit in wt20. There is a t20 wc in india next yr, seems to be our best chance at a trophy.. Link to comment

Only way we will have another captain is if he steps down and from what we have seen with him in RCB , irrespective of the results he’s not the kind who will do that ...India anyway will win lots of bilaterals and home test matches , so he will have enough to look good statistically even if we continue to suck when it really matters Sgattick10 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Kohli needs to win a tournament. If not he will go down as the worst ever because he had more talent and resources than any of his predecessors. maniac and Stan AF 2 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 He just can't win the big trophies. That could be a major blot in his captaincy career. Link to comment
