Why does Captain Kohli support youngsters in tests but not LOIs?

[SecondSlip]

Kohli is backing youngsters like Rahul, Pandya, Vihari, Shaw, Pant etc, in test cricket but doing the complete opposite in LOIs where he is backing oldies like Rayudu, Karthik, Dhoni, Raina, Jadhav. 

 

What is he trying to achieve?

In Odis you need winning mentality which youngsters don't have.

[Forever Indian]

Kohli was not supporting youngsters all these years in all formats. In fact got Siraj playing T20s on basis of his Ranji 4-day performances, etc. In LOIs as we are getting decent results he hasn't felt the pinch yet, but in tests with losses overseas he is left with no choice due to the media and experts backlash.

 

So only from Eng test series he has started becoming open to youngsters in test format.

Look at the missing factor (or) person between odis and tests 

[Sgattick10]

Cos Dhoni is the actual captain in ODIs. Completely dominated by CSK players.

[putrevus]

The people who played both in SA and England deserved to play ahead of any youngsters.

Only Shaw should have played against England last two tests.

Shaw definitely was not scoring hundred on debut if he played fourth test.

Kohli and dhoni PR have come to a compromise where dhoni can use the odi team as his jageer, have his player, highlight himself in the match and the media. In return he will provide his power and lobby behind kohli. Kohli will use test for his own fiefdom and publicity /@urmisinharay mode

The great dadaji is puncturing his mind order to secure careers of csk chamchas.

Reason Dhoni:

 

You can't kick out Karthik as back up keeper, because he does better than Dhoni.

You can't kick out Rayady, because his SR is higher than Dhoni.

You can't kick Raina out, because you won't find better chamcha of Dhoni.

You can't kick Jhadav Out, because he can slog better than Dhoni. 

 

To get a kick, you will need to do worse than Dhoni, which is nearly impossible.

Backing what BAcking????

 

Their is a diff btw backing n being left with no choice 

 

KL rahul backed???? 

Not at all, he was discarded from test team for dhawan, who jst came back bashing lanka . Hows is that backing

 

Shaw is playing 1st test 

 

Pant - had to be played all 3 test coz karthik was injured n poor, 3 test is not backing 

 

Vihari is sitting on bench 

 

Pandya- their is no choice

 

The reason we had these changes in test was - kyunki humara eng n Sa men Ch*tiya katta tha 

In odi , we jst lost in ENG and thats why not much changes are happ

 

Its India, things only after disastor strikes. Like Only after CT we realised we needed wrist spinner when world realised it 2 yrs ago 

 

Kohli doesnt knw how to back anyone

infact he doesnt back wrong talent properly

 

Dhawan post his comeback got one game in Sa n dropped

Rohit played at 3 only 3 test and demoted , Same 2 games in Sa 2 games dropped

 

Kohli has no patience with anyone .....unless their is no option left 

[kohli]

For world cup reason.I think he will kick all oldie after world cup.

[SUMO]

In ODIs kohli want stability in the middle order to partner him in chases...we are chasing 60% of the time.

 

In tests he doesnt feel the need of it so doesnt stop a young talent to fail and flourish.
