Made his debut 4 years ago in the last test of previous BG trophy at home. Is on his captaincy debut 4 years later.

 

Excellent first day for him as Aus are bowled out on day 1. 

 

How do you rate him?

 

For me personally I would'nt look too much into Ranchi test as that was sudden and he had no idea he'd be leading the side. 

 

Looked like working on his instincts and also has a knack of chopping and changing things quickly.

I would not read too much into stand in captains. A test captain is someone who has been appointed to lead the side for a long term 

 

Ravi Shastri captained Ind in tests too

He was bad last match.Okayish this. But overall not much to judGE so soon. I like his field placements and approach in general(middle ground between attacking and defense according to situation).

Was excellent today.Very positive and pro active.

 

But to be fair it's kinda easier to be urself when u r just stand in captain.

C'mon.....he had to come in as a captain at short notice for the decider.If he loses.....he will be the one getting all the blame. He must be under more pressure than Kohli would have been because Kohli is riding a longish success wave and would have been forgiven.

Was excellent today as well as in the first innings, his bowling changes were spot on as well

Now we have intelligent vc to backup kohli

Luckily bowlers supported him. Or else I didn't much energy on the field in the first innings. Also, getting first innings lead and crucial breakthroughs in 2nd innings at the top helped him a lot. 

 

In short he he was decent, but tbf bit low on energy.
