Crookbond Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 It's bizarre to understand Royal Challenger's selection and on-field tactics. Not picking a spinner ahead of Henriques was a big selection mistake. A spinner would be better - someone like a Muralitharan would've sealed the game particularly for a horrible batting line up like KKR. I also saw repeated "old tricks" from the "new captain" Kohli. The mid on/mid off up strategy doesn't work in modern era and particularly T20 where even mishits go for a six. The squarish 3rd man for Abhimanyu Mithun whose stock ball comes in was also baffling. Kohli has shown little appetite for HW as was shown in the game against Kings XI Punjab as well when he avoided the straightish long on/off for David Miller.

Didn't worked even against :pw: when their RR is under 7. Other option is Syed , who is also a flop. Kartik - doesn't take much wickets any way. As for as Captaincy - its bit overrated in T20.

Crookbond Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Didn't play on the same pitch against PWI. Muralitharan on this pitch against the great KKR batting may have been better than Mithun da. Captaincy over rated or not; Kohli misses strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 They should not play Pujara as a opener. Mayank Agrawal is much better than him, at least he can give you some quick runs and ease the pressure from Gayle at the start. Pujara instead have only added more pressure to Gayle.

someone Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah Pujara needs to bat in MO.he should replace Tiwary imo Wrong. Pujara should not play T20s at least until he reinvents himself. He is poor as a opener and would be even worse in middle order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debutant Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah Pujara needs to bat in MO.he should replace Tiwary imo He will waste balls in the middle order too when we really need big hit, not that Tiwary is doin that but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game is not for T20s. Another option is to use him as a crisis player like CSK use Badri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
