On-field, its mostly Dhoni. Nope there is a lot of kohli u can see Guys like yuvraj n bhajji were long ago dumped by dhoni , even when they came back in the team due to selectors under dhoni they werent much supportive Kohli got them back on reputation, something seen in RCB with gayle n watson even yuvraj when he fetched 14 cr. Dhoni use to give youngsters long rope and wasnt as hesitent handing them caps and responsibility. He didnt shy away from giving pandya last over or even new ball. The batting order shuffle is seen in RCB a lot to which is evident here, which m not being critical. Lack of patience is pure kohli , that wasnt dhoni . He makes statements like yuvraj is the best batsman on song and then dump him after few games, he makes statement like rahul is to good a player to sit out so we want to try him in middle and then we all know what happened Besides in the end over kohli loves to field in outfield so the senior player in circle will take care of that part, now he does same in RCB only problem there is that other senior ABDV is also in outfield Another thing , in most big tournament finals ull see a captains body language rubs on the team and dictates the result. Eg- take 2003 wc toss and see ganguly body lang and ricky ponting or 2011 wc dhoni was calm and sanga looked a bit anxious. Now take 2017Ct final, The minute pressure started builing kohli lost his nerves and boom the whole team became anxious. There is much more to captaincy then just setting fields If he wants to take help of a senior who has been a gr8 captain nothing wrong in that , many wud do that . Specially if it reduces his burden . I wish ganguly wud have helped dravid or azhar when sachin became captain Even If i beileve kohli is just a captain on paper, well thats not a good news as my captain isnt strong enough in that case and he is ok being just a cardboard captain And once dhoni leaves, well 1st hope kohli doesnt continue to be LOI captain post 2019 he shud just stick with test captaincy but if he does well more then captaincy ill be worried about his batting more due to the increased burden Link to comment
