Austin 3:!6 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I mean we all heard the criticism of MS Dhoni for supporting CSK boys and how he does not back younger players. But lets talk about Kohli now. A) Brought back a 35 year old Yuvraj Singh when there are many better younger prospects available in the country. B) Rohit Sharma was constantly given chance in test format when clearly he is not meant for test cricket. Infact, he even dropped Pujara once to accomodate Rohit. C) Rumours are he has voiced for the inclusion of his fellow Delhite 37 year old Ashish Nehra in ODI team. This IPL clearly shows that we have young talent like Thampi, Shardul, Nathu Singh etc. But he still fancy Nehra. Surely there is a bias somewhere?

Popular Post Number Posted April 30, 2017 Popular Post Posted April 30, 2017 Every captain is biased and has his set of favorites. Even the best of captains have that. Problem arises when there is a conflict of interest. For e.g. when a player management firm owned by a captain is managing some players who feature in his playing XI regularly without any merit. velu, Sidhoni, sandeep and 19 others 20 2

Ultimate_Game Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Yuvraj and Rahane should not be anywhere India's shorter format squads. Nehra shouldn't be around as well. Rohit should stick to being an opener in shorter formats just like Rahane should stick only to Tests.
Pollack Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) A) Agreed B) Pujara was rightly dropped but Rohit was a wrong replacement. C) Rumours are meant to be rumours. Having set of favourites is not the problem. To give them a very long rope is. Kohli haven't dropped Pujara ever since his comeback and speaks highly of him. You won't see Kohli dropping Pujara for Rohit now unless Pujara again goes out of form for a substantial period of time. Kohli is following perform or perish mantra at the moment in tests. Although his obsession with Sharma is cringeworthy.Let's see if he brings back Rohit into tests. Edited April 30, 2017 by Pollack Ankit_sharma03, sscomp32, Mosher and 1 other 4

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk There is nothing bias, every captain has his set of player whom he trust most . yes he he tried them but chucked all of them to once they failed quickly......so were is his bias hurting the team Mosher and New guy 2
Cricketics Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 No, he dopped Dhawan, if he was biased he would have picked Dhawan every time. This is huge blame on any player to tell him he is biased. He is a pro and pro wants to win for his country any time and every time and i am sure Kohli wants it badly like anyone snd he knows he will pivk thr one who he thinks performs the best and not by showing any bias. My only post in this thread. sscomp32 and Mosher 2
mancalledsting Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Rohit averaged 50 in tests this past year and made match turning contribution vs NZ in difficult conditions Yuvraj made match winning contributions in both ODI and t20 series vs England and has improved his batting recently kohli's decisions have thus far been vindicated Only if he persists with players after long term underperformance can you accuse him chepu did have a go slow issue in tests as did Vijay- it was an important point to address- as is throwing ur wicket away needlessley DDfan2017, Masquerade and maniac 3

jf1gp_1 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 everyone is bias to the extent it doesnt hurt the team.
helperononline Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Don't think he is biased but he is nuts he just keeps changing his squad one second he will play Gayle next match he will drop Gayle and play ABD I only wish I can understand how his brain works
Gollum Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 He may be biased like all human beings. But as someone rightly pointed out, no conflict of interest so far which is good news. Also his pride in leading India will make sure he sheds the bias and builds a champion side. You see MSD was not only biased but also had no pride in him. 0-8, 0-10, 0-12, home series loss....nothing affected him because he never cared. So he kept on continuing his biased selection policies...Kohli won't do that because he truly believes he is destined to lead this side into ATG status. If he doesn't select the best XI, he won't be able to do that. Simple. New guy 1
Straight Drive Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) At one point there were 6 CSK players in Indian team. Haven't seen 6 RCB players in Indian team yet. Infact only Virat, Chahal and Kedar are in Indian team and i think they are due to their performance. So definitely not biased imo.

rkt.india Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Every captain and coach has some bias. In fact, every human being has some bias. Nothing unusual. Sidhoni 1
