Khota Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Not weird at all. It functions more of a team without these guys. Their problem is that they think they are superstars. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

SUMO Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Rohit captaincy is impressive. The way he set fields today on big ground to cut angles was excellent. He always brings his best bowler early if there is chance to go for the kill. I'm sure kohli wouldnt have given debue to krunal, either sundar or chahal would have played. Link to comment

Lannister Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Rohit is much more authoritative and backup his own ideas, while Kohli is nothing but a control freak. Kohli is clearly not what I have expected from his captaincy. It's time to sack him from LOIs and put him on a notice in Test cricket too. Switchblade, Global.Baba and lunigirly 1 1 1 Link to comment

Look at all the pehelwaans or even yoga gurus they have a little belly which is where the energy comes from. That is why while all the 6-8 pack sportsmen break down, Ro continues to be a 6 hitting machine :) Damn You guys have brainwashed me into speaking like the poster you think I am :) The Dark Horse, velu, beetle and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 OR rohit as a captain > Kohli as a captain. That'ss why it looks better and more calm Link to comment

express bowling Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) The biggest differences I see are ... Kohli does not let fringe players and rookies settle down. There is a lot of chop and change ... and expects every other batsman to be similar to him in batting approach and preparation. Dhoni gives a lot of instructions to young bowlers which may affect their own thought process ... and some quota picks come in the team when Dhoni is playing. Rohit ( atleast as a stand-in captain ) does not have any of these issues. He gives a full run to fringe and younger players and does not over-instruct. So, fringe players seem to be more comfortable and relaxed and perform better. Ofcourse, we may see some new issues cropping up if Rohit becomes full time captain. But he looks tactically better and a good man manager. Edited November 7, 2018 by express bowling Laaloo, Stan AF, Global.Baba and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Pandya came into limelight in 2012-14 SMA trophy for Bardoa when he scored 57 ball 82 against Mahrashtra taking Baroda to 144 which won them the game. He got picked by John Wright who was watching the game as an MI scout. Then what fast tracked him to Indian team is him becoming the top run getter in SMA trophy 2015-16 and not just IPL exploits though IPL is certainly a better metric than SMA trophy for selection for Indian team. Lol so true. Fans are doing disservice by attributing bowlers/batsmen's success to captains like Dhoni and Kohli. Yes they might have influenced them by at most 10% but it's the players themselves who put in the hard yards like Bumrah. beetle, express bowling and saik 3 Link to comment
