What was Karthik thinking?

And these idiots forget that Dhoni has cost many such games lol especially in T20 where as DK pulled off one of the most memorable heists.

 

Seriously these idiots are so cringeworthy :wall: 

At least 4 T20s against NZ we have lost with Dhoni playing a big part in the * up.

 

Surprisingly what DK did today (premise of this thread), Dhoni did in the T20 against England in our 2014 tour. 9 off 4 balls needed and Rayudu was at the non striker's end when Dhoni refused a single. Our hero then as usual effed up costing us the match, garbage innings unlike today's DK blitz. And we needed only 25 from 14 at one stage that day....lauda finisher. 

England vs India, Only T20I , 2014 scorecard

Karthik should've taken the single. You never know you may get a wide or two or even no ball. I can understand if the batsman at the other end was a tailender. Maybe Karthik overestimates himself based on Nidahas final. Anyway the real culprit though is selfish TUK TUK Sharma.

Rohits innings was mediocre by his high lofty standards. However Krunal Pandya’s spell,Khaleel’s bowling and drop catch,Dhawan and Dadu’s performances, Knuckle bowler plenty of performances that should be under the scanner before Rohit.  However people calling me out on having an agenda,there is a pattern for the other supporters, Rohit’s odd failure is being magnified

Nicely summed up.I don't blame DK much today as he brought Ind back into the game but irrespective a batsman should never turn down a single in this situation unless there is a tailender or a new batsman at the other end.

Seriously you are blaming Dhoni and Dhawan, two faced a grand total of 8 balls.Their place in the side is highly questionable but you need to get your head checked if you blame these two for today's loss to defend your heart throb

Yeah can’t blame mainstream batsmen  who got a grand total of 7 runs playing 9 balls

Dhoni scored 2 from 4. Those 4 additional balls we could have easily won. Rohit scores 38 runs which bumped the score down. Not calling a great knock but how can people not see the difference. Had he got out for 0(1) the middle order had to stitch together 38 more runs and given all of them are cameo players that is more of an uphill task. 

 

Clearly the hate towards Rohit is agenda driven

A -that aussie side was not as good as this NZ side

B- this side is kohli less that side wasnt rohit less

c- that side had bumrah

 

Kohli is a bullcrap LOI captain

This NZ side had Steiger, Mitchell, Tickner, Mckruggen. They were experimenting  as well with no Boult, Fergusson missing today and Taylor coming in at 5-6.

 

Kohli may not be the best LOI captain but this series has dented Rohit’s captaincy chances (his day by day deteriorating pathetic fitness doesn’t help either)

Even if it was the plan of team that Rohit will play as an anchor.  It wasn't a wise plan. No anchoring is needed when you have to chase 213. An anchor at the one end will put extra pressure on other end. Rohit should have made at least 45-50 runs in 32 balls, he has the capability to do that.

thats a seprate topic and soon he ll suffer with reflexes if he doesnt improve his fitness

Did asia cup affect kohli captaincy ? No . 

Rohit is the next LOI captain without any doubt and no one else is even on radar

It did delay Kohli getting LOI captaincy. Would have got the captaincy right after 2015 WC but it was said he was not ready for captaining all three formats. Plus Kohli was 25 at that time, Rohit is 31.

 

Likewise the chorus for Rohitas captain will calm down now after the last 5 matches. His own form, performance of young bowlers, tactical decisions- all got scrutinised and he came up short.

No Bumrah was not there, and Kohli did win odi series in NZ.Stop finding the need to find something wrong when there is nothing wrong .

 

Kohli is the best captain in all formats , no need to fix something which does not need to be fixed.

 

Instead we need to fix the the need for bits and pieces players.
