Hardik Pandya as captaincy material?

[dark_profile]

To me, cricketing skills don't matter as much as the temperament. Does he have the potential? Can we groom him as an alternative?

Good one... should try in zim series

I hate saying this...but frankly....even hahane is better captain than virat. Atleast he makes some good calls and rotates the bowler fine. Whatever little captaincy I have seen of him barring that one IPL match has been pretty solid..in that match it was so obvious everyone was just pissed how he was selected as captain instead of dhoni that they didn't bother to show up...

 

hahane, ashwin, hell..rohit..they can be better captains but these all players infuriate me. I have no respect for kohli nowadays...

Since in the coming years, Pandya might be the only regular member of the playing xi along with Kohli,along all formats of the game, and h might play in all conditions, he is the only viable captaincy option. Currently other players are either too old, going to be too young, sacked, or dropped in matches based on playing conditions. But I think Pandya might be a regular in all matches and formats since he adds depth in batting and bowling along with fielding.

Too early to say.  Give him a few more years.

[tweaker]

Too early

Looks good as a player, But captaincy is a different thing altogether. 

[Sachinism]

Seems a bit immature to be captain.

 

[Laaloo]

No he needs to get a permanent spot first and then maybe as he matures more.

He captained the "A" side in recent times, so certainly management rates him highly. And good to have leaders in your team. One captain and many leaders is great.

[King Tendulkar]

In 15 years time when king kohli steps down he could be an option . Till then he better just prepare to jump from 40th floor of a building if required by kohli 

[Cricketics]

Let him get settled into Indian team, once he does, one can even think about it. 

 

He has played some good cricket in this CT so deserve regular selection and be promoted but not to the captaincy level yet. Though they can surely continue to try him  as captain like they did against Australia in the warm up game in Mumbai.

  Let him first play 15 + overs  by coming up the order  in 5-6 matches . 

  Baaki ka baad me sochenge .

hahaha.. kuch bhi.

Hardik could be an interesting captaincy choice when he hits his prime, if he becomes established as a true all rounder. A player who bowls and bats would provide a different perspective to captaincy.

Angelo Mathews is doing a good job for SL. Hardik can do the same for us. Not right now, but in a year or two.

[Akhand_Bharati]

what a ridiculous statement. Pandya is another hothead who will bottle it under pressure like Virat did on sunday.

too early , let him improve as a player.

[Lannister]

There's too much power for Kohli at the moment, to balance that out this is the right move. Give Hardik captaincy for T20 format.
