Edit: But if you change North Zone to Hindi-speaking, then it kind of makes sense. I mean Hindi-speaking people are the only ones who think their language is a "national language" . @maniac Link to comment

There are biases but to say that North captains are thw worst is over the top. I remember the day when every "kar" was in the team because of Mumbai lobby. I also remeber the day when Azharu kept Sidhu out of the team without informing him. I have seen bias all around. I also remeber how shamelessly Dravid pushed that sheet show Binny in the team. So kindly dont generalize. The most fair was Saurav Ganguly. I have yet to see anyone as fair as him. Only remedy is three format three captains two coaches. Replace binny with nair....in ipl.

No ...but he calls chennai his second home and is chennai's favourite son . It is not like he is just playing for any team. He loves that team and all that comes with it including the money of course. But you cannot argue that he is not chennai's son . He identifies with that team just like Raina....another northie. He is not like bk in sunrisers. Bk would be equally comfortable anywhere else and sunrisers would be equally comfortable with any other good bowler. There is no special regional team bond there.

beetle Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, maniac said: Also the fact is I am not accusing these “Northie captains” as “regionalist”....they have a very myopic vision...I mean they might get along with South Indians from big cities but it is not like they will make some talent say from rural Assam or Orissa fit in. That would hold good for all captains. A dravid or kumble would have found it difficult to get along with some one from rural assam or orissa to fit in . Ipl has changed that to an extent . The captains before ipl did not have that advantage . The under 19 or A teams are far more representative of India than they did before. Dravid has to deal with that as a coach now but he probably did not have to deal with that as a captain. Kohli is a special case of such strong bias in post ipl era. That speaks really poorly of him .His bias towards Dhawan is his regional yaarana. The friend he can sing punjabi songs with. Rohit is a commercial interest . Both make him look really bad.

Maybe he has evolved with time, I don’t know,as I said this is not one of those topics that you can have stats and numbers to present facts and start proving stuff whichever side you are on...This is purely my perspective and opinion I have formed....you are free to prove otherwise. I don’t think Dhoni has learnt a single word of Tamil and not that he needs to but only if the theory is if he was in so much head over heels in love with Chennai...its all PR and money making stuff. Anyway I do think either ways Dhoni surrenders himself with his mates. Link to comment
