Is Kohli too poor to be captain


G_B_

Recommended Posts

Hes been the captain of the choker team for a while now .

I can understand they lost a few finals , but a team with likes of Gayle , AB , Virat , Watson and domestic talents like Jadhav , Chahal and Mandeep in its linup cannot manage to win even half of its games ? 

 

They will never win Ipl without a good bowling attack.Recent trends have shown bowling attacks win Ipl .

O well that's the end for pujara playing for india 

Pujara would have been a regular in our ODI squad if not for IPL . on the other hand the reason Rahane consistently gets picked for shorter format's is due to his IPL performances .

 

Right or wrong , it has had a big impact on selections and can make or break a players career . No point of being in denial .

Rohit , rayudu , Hardik , Bumrah have done that already .

Krunal and Rana are on the verge of making it based on recent performance ..need more evidence ? ;) 

Rohit because of his tailunt

Rayudu was moreso because of his biryani. And he would have made it way before if he didn't piss off the bcci because of his icl stint. Krunal and Rana are very talented. They should make the team. And Hardik has shown enough that he is worth investing in since it's been so damn long since we have had a decent pace all rounder.

Lol kuch bhi, Pujara wouldn't have made the Indian ODI team irrespective of IPL

am not saying these guys dont deserve their place .

Rohit was pretty much discarded after failing consistently inspite of his "talent" thats how much he sucked in those overseas test matches , then in SL and SA against steyn looked like a tailender, he had a few dream IPLs and kept coming back into the side . 

 

Rayudu , definetly should have played for India , but not at the point when he was picked . He was a talent , he screwd it up and normally it would have been over for him if not for the IPL .

 

Again not saying Rana , Krunal and Hardik are not talented , their talent would not have been recognised if not for the IPL , definitely not all of them and even if they did not so early in their careers .

 

So I dont see a point in shrugging off any IPL performance/non-performance as a non issue , Virats captaincy included .

averages 54 in 82 matches with 10 hundreds in List A .

What would have stopped him from being picked ? 

His ODI average of 10 duh:facepalm:, he was picked in odis and flopped, ipl has nothing to do with that

5 matches .

 

Not sure if you where around back then , most people even in ICF thot he would be an upgraded version of Dravid in ODI's . He was known for scoring quickly in domestic , thats before IPL days though .

 

You can dig up the threads/posts here in ICF on pujara .

We all saw the test series against the Aussies that were close to the worst side Australia has ever sent to India and virat averaged 9, acres like a spoilt brat on the field and in the change rooms and repeatedly made a fool

of himself in the media.

 

it was tipped off by him saying he didn't want to have a beer with the other team.

 

i have my doubts if he is the right man to lead India in tests going forward and his batting is starting to become a concern.

 

interested to see others thoughts

Great Thread Binga

 

He's a poor man's Misbah. Misbah hasn't had the stars/resources of Kohli yet the he has an outstanding home and away record. Virat the Brat rarely plays outside the country and has the luxury of doctored pitches and questionable umpire tactics. 

 

He dines out on mimnows but when faces a quality attack goes to jelly. His test stats flatter him.

 

Go Pakistan!

I think they need a Rangana Herath type to lead them. Virat needs to concentrate on his cricket.

Who else would captain

Rohit sharma- who tell an opp player to come to india, u think he ll help our reputation. Now he is injury prone

Ashwin- whose place will come under scanner overseas

Pujara- same as above 

Rahane- the guy won with a team set by kohli.

 

 

A captain breeds a culture in the the team for the yrs to com

Sourav- bought self beilief 

Dhoni bought calmness

Kohli will brings fitness and desire to be best

 

Call him a tactially poor captain(no captain becomes a tactical genius overnight) he is our best choice ahead

 

Post maker seems to have mistaken kohli for a robot, he will fail to he is a human. Judging someone of a stature of kohli by 4-5 innings is as foolish as it gets

Rahane looked more than competent in the 4th Test. Less ego, more buy-in from the players. More of a Misbah-type

I think ishant would make an excellent captain. Is an elder statesman in the team and is consistent in his approach. He also has the best hair in the Indian team.

 

Kohli should at the very least be told to pull his head in as his behaviour is childish and his DRS use very poor
