Hypothetically If Kohli were to resign as captain , who would be your your choice for test captain?

 

My choice would be Ashwin.

The best allrounder we have.

More consistant as a batsman than some other specialist batsmen.

Best spinner we have who should be able to be in the 11 in most places.

Yadav, because of his cricketing brain and because he makes it into the XI on any day and any surface. 

 

Karthik for being the next Gilchrist.

 

Jaddu, because everyone in the team respects him.

 

Ishant, based purely on height.

 

Pujara, for his leadership skills.

 

Rahane, because of where he comes from.

 

Pandya, for being the next Kallis.

Let Kohli remain test captain but change the entire coaching staff. Also curb Kohli's power so that he can't repeat the stunts he pulled on Kumble. Ashwin can be VC instead of Rahane whose time is up.

Kohli will stop scoring enough...

See, this is what happens when you totally depend on one batsman...

The team needs young players.. who are not influenced.

Also BCCI needs to look hard at the IPL effect... our best bowlers are hiding injuries to play IPL and then not available when you need them...

Kohli is good captain but need the counterbalance in coach, Kumble provided it

maybe time to bring in Dravid

 

the tinkering of starting XI is unbelievable, even when winning in India these dumb duos kept on chopping and changing

This is not fair, Kohli should not get a free pass as soon as difficult tours start. Once SENA tours are done, should hand over to Rahul or Shaw or any new settled guy for easy series just like how Dhoni did to Kohli. No point of bringing in a new captain to clean up the mess created. Just hope that we do settle some youngsters in the XI and let them prosper till then. All he has done so far is tinker with the line up so much that there are no permanent options left in the team. Meanwhile defo change the coaching/management and cut some powers of the kaptaan saab.

There is no other option apart from Kohli, we need to ensure he is held accountable for team results/selection/mentoring and is surrounded by driven professional individuals, not alcoholics and druggies.

@beetle this is the answer

I don't see too many worthy contenders. Ashwin is the sole competition.

 

Kohli backed by a competent coaching staff is still the best option for India.

Also need a strong chairman of selectors who can keep Kohli's selection decisions under check.
