No. A captain that wins games for the team and gets best out of players should be captain. Rahane the passenger as captain lol. Link to comment

Which would be great if players, staff etc. were all raving about what a great captain he is, how he motivated players in a tough situation, tactical masterstrokes where he out-thought Australia etc. but literally none of them gave him any credit in their post-series interviews. Shastri was given a lot of it, which doesn't say much about Rahane the leader. His poor numbers with the bat don't make up for it. Link to comment

nitinbwj Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The team lifts itself and performs like a miracle. He himself played that tremendous innings in the second test. Make Rahane the captain. Kohli is negative and his negativity rubs on everyone.Plus he is in shitty form and a HUGE liability on this team. He should be stripped off captaincy and allowed to play purely as a batsman. May be he can score then. nevada and sumit quiet 2 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 As poor as Rahane has been, for guys like Gill, Pant, Sundar and Siraj to have a long test career, he has to be the test captain for the next 15-18 months. Under Kohli, not one youngster will prosper Link to comment

He was the highest scorer from either side in the last Test he played. 2nd and 1st highest scorer in the ODI and T20I series respectively. I understand removing him from LOI captaincy because he backs all the wrong players and we've got Sharma who's a successful IPL captain but giving the Test captaincy to Rahane? One of the most mediocre batsmen we've had in Tests in recent memory, because we won a series in Australia, though none within the team itself gave him credit in any interview. Link to comment

asterix Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Ok Rahane failed... He still is better Captain than Kohli. If he’s made captain. He might bat well with added responsibility. Im sorry, Kohli is not a good leader... he’ll bring lots of heartburn to Indian fans like he’s done to RCB fans... Link to comment
Clarke Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I believe tennis has non playing captain. Maybe Rahane can try that instead of practicing binary language (1 ,0) in a home test. Pujara seems to be the logical pick for me, he's a certainty in tests and u need that to avoid rotating captains. I'm not sure of Ashwin only because Jadeja should play ahead of him in my book in case we need a lone spinner on green tops in Eng/SA. Link to comment
