Shubman Gill- time to step up, your country needs you

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Yup, it's true he prefers to keep backing experience, even if they have a tailender like averages. It is very unlikely he goes a for a change and tries to develop the youngsters for now and future series and build a team of all weather batsmen. Perhaps he thinks there would not be tests which would be played on wickets and conditions where our batsmen will struggle and then when they score of batsmen friendly wickets people will forget the real problems once again. 

Virat hates to lose or take risk (though he ends up losing anyways)
And building team for future?
Hehehe, given the coaching given on this Senior India Team and the emphasis on media work, players actually regress after coming into the team.
Also, personal agenda motivated by marketing and stardom works behind Virat's strange decisions
Haven't you seen how we are having good bowlers but crap batsmen?
So much so that Virat can appear to the audience as the only Saviour of his teamn
He's reinforcing the thought by blaming his players In Press Conference.
He is thinking he can get the same love as Sachin by making everybody think that he is the sole warrior of the team while the others are idiots.
However, he's forgetting that he's the captain of the team-and after what Ganguly and Dhoni did, people expect more from him in this regard.
People know it is he who is to be blamed for wrong decisions - and the IPL is there for people to see how Kohli is himself selecting the wrong people despite there being real talents who can actually succeed.
The burden of captaincy is eventually killing his reputation.
No matter how much century he scores and dedicates them to Anushka-he'll go down in the public's mind as India's Worst Captain if he doesn't win at least one WC.
People don't give **** at Asia Cup since they know India is a beast in the subcontinent.

yes and the reason being this is a different era.  it is not easy to switch from T20 to tests with playing much 4-day cricket behind. there was a time 20-30 years back, when batsmen used to prepare for test cricket and ODIs were secondary when likes of Dravid debuted. those guys were fully concentrated on tests.  Now i give an example of Rahul. when he debuted in Aus, he scored a 100 in his 2nd test and his approach was completely different in that innings. he was not a T20 star back then. he will have to get back to test mode again.  his first innings showed he was still in t20 mode.  2nd innings he looked better but got a peach.

 

This is what I keep saying.

 

The biggest challenge for the modern day batter is to juggle between the 3 formats and adjust their games accordingly.

 

Getting rid of T20 bad habits is not easy while playing tests.

Well i would say that he prefers taking repeated risks with experienced players who keep flopping miserably in some conditions than taking risks with novices. Change seems very difficult under him.

 

He would keep backing a set of experienced batsmen who average 40 - 45 in career but then who average less than 10 or 20 in tough conditions. However, he will not opt for novices over them.

he does not think that is a risk because he thinks they are experienced and have done before know how do it again.  Risks is always about picking unknown quantities.

Bro @mancalledsting is a brilliant poster and he is right we do need the likes of Gill,Shaw or few other youngsters in the near future.

Bro or Bot?

Just checked his CI page. Has scored 3 * 50 in his last 6 LIST A matches. All of those in England.

Well this one can get a bit Illuminati-esque but Virat seems to be an insecure, paranoid, psychotic, obsessive persona with a massively inflated ego.
He's basically like those ceramic items which are labelled "too fragile to handle without care".
This type of people are basically unable to handle fame and power and needs huge number of ass lickers to dance to their whims.
People who have interacted with Kohli all have said he's a Megalomaniac without common sense.
While I agree even Dhoni has an inflated ego and hangs around with his own coterie (thus leading to "CSK Quota"),he is not a fragile , insecure personality In anyways.
He knows how to play the game well.
That's why he came back after being shunted out of captaincy by people who were his enemies and managed to win the trust of Kohli.

The likes of Rahane Hardik, Dhawan, Rohit , Bumrah , Chahal, Kuldeep, Manish Pandey, DK - they all massage Kohli's ego to keep him sane and get favours from him.
Kohli has problems trusting people but he's a novice in political manipulations in front of Dhoni (and he knows that, that is one of the main reasons of his insecurity), so he is trying to form his own circle of influence some political powers of his own.

He's also much more comfortable with these guys TBF.
Also, the thought of another player emerging who can beat him in the endorsement line likely sends shivers down his spine .
We have seen his unusual jealousy towards Ranveer Singh who is coming up the ladders to dethrone Kohli as India's Brand Ambassador king.
And ultimately , he fears that he'll be blamed as a captain If a rank newbie debuts and messes up the match.
He knows he can't groom a potential talent and utilise him properly unlike Dhoni, Rohit and Even rahane.

Basically Kohli very well knows about his tactical limitations as a captain and an administrator- but is afraid to give up his captaincy because he probably feels if he admits his shortcomings, he'll get bashed.
Also power ki nasha.
He's not even a shrewd brain like Sachin who builds his influence circle inside BCCI without being a captain.

I don't think he has played any first class game. 

I don't know how can people mention his name along with Shaw who has done well at every level he has played.

Let him play a season of first class then only we can see if has it in him to play test cricket.
