sandeep Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Incredibly sound head on his shoulders. I think he's one to lead us as a team. A handful of test matches in, he's already bowling captain in my eyes. UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 2 2 Link to comment
goose Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Interesting call. Won't happen. Kohli is an ecosystem of sponsors and vested interests. UrmiSinhaRay, Clarke, nevada and 1 other 4 4 Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Lanni uncle nominated KL Rahul. Doubt anyone has balls to overrule Lanni uncle or he ll get really mad Vilander, UrmiSinhaRay and Nikola 1 2 1 Link to comment

Indian cricket is a biased culture and don't made bowlers captain unless they run out of alternatives. Then there's the question of Ashwin and his ego. But I really think he's got what it takes.

Clarke Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Was Kapil the last fast bowling captain we had ? Been a while I guess, unless we want to include Kumble in the category as well. Between Prasad, Kuruvilla, Dodda & Kumble, only the latter bowled yorkers while the remaining three loved slower balls. UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment
beetle Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Agree Bumrah captain in 2-3 years with Pant / Prithvi / Gill as vice captain. Bumrah being a fast bowler will not be able to play all tests without breaking down...so a reliable vice captain will be required. UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I like bowlers as captain. I liked how Walsh could control the game as captain even though Windies did not have much success and were on a decline during that time. express bowling 2 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Bowler captain tend to have better knowledge of the game situation,there is a high chance of them making correct calls in crunch situations than a batsman captain bowler captains being bowlers have also that bowler psyche and are the best person to deal with other bowlers in the team UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment
Adi BB Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I don't mind this but injuries is the major reason why fast bowlers shouldn't be the captain especially one with injury history Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not a good idea to have bowler captains. They are rested in some series, during injuries they are away for rest for months, at times they can miss whole session. Then the VC takes over frequently. Would prefer a batsman captain.
