Manny_Pacquiao Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 I have always wondered why RCB keeps ignoring good karnataka players. Karnataka has been one of the better domestic teams, so many good players coming from there...but how many were retained by RCB? It makes no sense. Kohli is a great batsman, but surely the franchise should include more locals, especially when they're better than many on the existing squad? It would be good for the fans as well, i'm sure they'd love seeing local players instead of mercenary types. Here's what a potential XI could have been: Kohli Rahul Mayank Nair De villiers Sundar Gowtham Gopal Morris Saini Steyn Unfortunately, we'll have kohli captaining RCB until he retires, we may never see such a lineup.
Gollum Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Didn't they let go of KLR ? Maybe Kohli didn't want to play second fiddle to a fellow Indian team player.

They did!! He went to KXIP, and since then...he's out-performed kohli in the IPL. There's no other explanation

Dhawan n dhoni both cud score quick but never got the hang of t20

Dhoni have been good in IPL not international In international even Rohit has been above avg to good at best dhoni averages 40+ in IPL, 35+ in intrnational. That puts him in an exclusive group of batsmen. dhawan not as good as he used to be, but he had some very good IPL seasons with sunrisers. OK, maybe he's not one of the best ever. but dhoni is.

Stan AF Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 First choice, throw out kohli and get a karnataka player as a captain. Someone who actually gives a **** about bringing the cup to the city/state. I seriously don't think Kohli is looking for a way to win. He's just way too pre-occupied with so many things and winning a trophy isn't among them.

It wasn't like this when he was younger, he worked hard and learned how to dominate bowlers in the IPL. Now he's in a comfort zone. he hasn't even learned cannada, i bet he doesn't know the meaning of 'ee sala cup naamde'.
