Mariyam Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 @zen You make such meta threads. I read the OP twice and understood nothing. I feel very very stupid now. What exactly is Martin Kohli again?

What exactly is Martin Kohli again? Martin Crowe was a legendary player who performed exceptionally with the both bat and captaincy (considered among the best) .... If Kohli emulates that (better captaincy per his capacity not Martin's), he is turning into Martin Kohli Mariyam 1

From that perspective, not a bad idea to give some of the lower middle order batsmen to get hit early esp. v K11 attack at Sharjah .... A loss here does not hurt RCB chances in the playoffs but its players becoming better prepared for the playoffs may help them if they want to win the tournament .... Cannot always rely on one player Ind had the top 3 batting for most parts even against struggling teams in WC19, denying others the opportunity to bat more in the middle Quote I am pointing at the positives. RCB has ABDV. If he does well, great. The question that needs to be answered is what if ABDV gets a 0, potentially curtains for RCB in a KO game. Now if they have guys, who are in form, they can look to address such situations with more confidence. PS In one of the games, they can even experiment by having these two bat at 3 & 4. Give them more responsibilities with the bat to get them acquainted to taking on new challenges. Mariyam 1

Its interesting how two of the most boneheaded captains of recent times - Dhoni and Kohli, get extended captaincy runs of the Indian team, while the one who is making the right decisions, winning matches and IPL trophies for his team (Rohit Sharma) never gets to captain the Indian team.

I meant Kohli and KL Rahul! FWIW, Dhoni has always been a good captain. One may argue that his place in the team as a batsman was undeserved. But he is to date a top quality keeper and someone the bowler can turn to when the going gets tough.
