Do we want Kohli back?

[goose]

the 64 billion dollar question  - is this just the 'boss is away' effect or a genuine gulf in captaincy. if the former then sacking Kohli is short sighted but most think it's the latter

[jf1gp_1]

Kohli the batsman absolutely YES. kohli the captain NOOOO

to know what kind of captain Kohli is all you need to do is observe where he is fielding during tense situations compared to where Rohit and Rahane usually stand

kohli is usually at long on or off hardly talks to bowler. Rohit Rahane at cover always talking to them.

[4Dhruv7]

Should make 3 captains for 3 formats now.

 

Rahane for Test

Virat for ODI 

Rohit for T20I

[maniac]

Not as captain but c’mon the guy is still one of the greatest batsmen in the world

 

Rahane/Ash/Rohit in tests

 

Rohit in LOI’s

 

Let Kohli enjoy the game

It is unlikely that Kohli's personality will allow him to enjoy the game unless he is in control.  Alpha male.

I seriously doubt we need Kohli the batsman & Kohli the bowler...  He has done jack shi* as a batsman the last 1.5 years.  Our team has enough quality & is bigger than a individual. 

But we have to bear with him..  It is what it is.

Actually the pitches in those series were also much spicier! Batting you probably remember Kohli scored some runs, do you remember his big effin failures?

 

Walked across the stump to flick(?) a ball against Philander chasing a modest total in the first test.

Same in the first test vs Eng, except against Ben *ing Stokes who was bowling first change & we had Pandya set at the other end.

Played an innocuous front foot lunge against Moen in the fourth test, Rahane was set at the other end, we collapsed after his tame dismissal

 

For such a "champion player" & "master of chases" he sure has a * tonne of brainfades! Heck if I count his LO failures you'll have nothing to post 

Here we go again. 

Ek question mai nipta dunga tumhe

Please list Sachin tendulkar top 3 performance in winning chases away from home(tests obviously) 

Then do the same for Dravid 

Then Gavaskar

You were giving me an account of kohlis failure in fourth innings. 

Do you have an idea tha the GOAT steve Smith avgs 30 in 4th innings. 

And for each of Kohlis failure in 4 th innings i can give you three of smith. 

Does not change the fact that Smith is the best

[vvvslaxman]

Almost zen like dressing room will turn into chaos lol. I know we  can't do it over and over without ace players. But whenever he captains it is almost like our batting looks weaker than it is. Bowling is okay.

[BacktoCricaddict]

Imagine this.

 

Siraj:  Virat Bhai, short mid-on chahiye hamein.  Yeh catch degaa.

Kohli:  BC, jo field diyaa hain, waise ball Daalo

Siraj:  Jinks Bhai hota toh detaa ... iss liye jeetkar aaye.

Kohli:  ^*^$%^$@%$#%$#@%$^$^   

[Yoda-esque]

There are clearly two better leaders in Rohit and Rahane..Kohli will find his job untenable if he continues with his ways ,now that the youngsters have seen all alternate form of leadership
