WIll be intersting to see how he plays in next match. If this loss doesn't make him realize how awful this mindset is then nothing will

 

The more u loose the safer u try to play or he ll go other extreme. Thats what pressure does makes you do the unnatural

Now people are going hold that statement against him for a long long time. He is/was under lot of pressure which we can see on his face and I think he needs to give up captaincy.It is clearly hurting his batting.

He is not a finisher. His role is at the top scoring quickly within the powerplay.  TM is clearly out of their depth.

Not everyone is Rohit and Kohli who can start and finish the innings.Rahul's role should have been very clear like Bairstow.Give team fast start. For that to happen he never should have been made captain.

 

Only players I have seen not succumb to captaincy pressures and change their game are Rohit in IPL .Kohli and Ponting in international cricket.

I can see why he has slowed down. He has such a brittle middle order to worry about. But the point is this is going nowhere. He just needs to bat as he normally does. Captaincy in the IPL is only as good as the team you've got. Plus this is KL's first season as captain. He needs to trust his instincts. Kumble is a T20 flop coach.

That is what burden of captaincy does to a player. They had given up too early on Ashwin last year and shipped him out.He was not bad as a captain and as a bowler he is better than what they have got now.

They got the top 3 right. KL, Mayank, Pooran. When Gayle is back, Mayank should drop to 3, and Pooran 4. They screwed up in the Auctions. Middle order flops every match. Need to find replacements for Gayle, Miller and Maxi. Very poor bowling pool. Jordan was a flop and Cotrell. Both in Top 20 T20 bowling list. Miller has flopped. They need to fix the Middle Order and strengthen the bowling. And bring in someone else other than Kumble. T20 is just not his area.

 Its too harsh to blame TM , Kumble & KL for the debacle . The big problem for KP is death bowling . Its not that they have not covered this base also  with Sheldon , Jordan and even Mujib. 

These guys have shown their death bowling capability in international arena but in this IPL , they bowled ***t. 

If Jordan, Cottrel, Mujib , Maxi  do not perform at all what TM can do .? 

Situation has come to such a level , that rookies like  Bishnoi & Arsh are trying to stall complete disaster.

Considering how often they have lost games from winning positions, I think it is indeed the mentality, teh coach and captain who are the problem. There line up is good enough to bring them to winning positions, its stupid decisions like sending prabhat ahead of maxwell or rahul crawling at a snails pace depsite being settled, which has cost them the games

They should play Gayle at no 3. With Rahul going Ultra slow in Powerplay.  Mayank at least ensures They get to 50 in first six overs.  Gayle takes time to settle & he is better at hitting spinners.  Pooran at 4 makes more sense considering how weak their MO is.
