Trichromatic Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Some key players will be back. Playing at home against England. Expected to win and not just series, but all matches. Also WTC on line. Team just won everything against odds. Odds are back in favor when he returns back. Also this team has lost only 1 test in last 8 years. He will get lot of flak for captaincy misses. Even if India fails to win the game, there will be questions. God forbid he loses a game, or say loses first test England (won't happen) - I can't even imagine what will happen. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 This is where he left team last time - 19/5 at Adelaide. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The entire team is flying high with confidence. It's like England post 2019 WC. Only the captain has the ability to bring this team down with his half baked low IQ decisions. The team and players are under no pressure but the captain definitely is and that is a worrying thing. nevada, nitinbwj and Rightarmfast 1 2 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don't give a rats a*** he is under pressure or not. This series has proved we have enough quality without him with the bat. As long as he makes good team selection ls we'll be fine. beetle 1 Link to comment
BacktoCricaddict Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 He'd better be. I wish the selectors had the backbone to retain Rahane as captain for the England series. nevada 1 Link to comment
Norman Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yeah. This is bothering me too. Surely he now has it in the back of his mind that a blip this series can seriously fukk his reputation up. Don't know how he handles it as we all know the headless chicken he turns into in crisis... Just hope somehow he doesn't mess up our final chances Link to comment
prashan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 lol guys, always in dreams... Why anyone in under pressure after p.l ... What a forum bunch of sick peoples... They feeling there are saving Indian cric team... Just cool guys... He can't stole your hard earn money... Before giving captaincy(ur dreams) see this article Link to comment
QuarantineTormentino Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Kohli WILL be under pressure. Rahane did a tremendous job down under as a stand-in captain, getting a depleted and inexperienced squad to punch way above its weight in foreign conditions, and doing almost everything right with respect to team selections, field settings, Bowling changes, determining batting order, etc. he will be expected to not even draw (let alone lose) a single match in home conditions with most of the first choice players back. I don’t think he’ll buckle under pressure, he’s a decent captain in home test matches and moreover as others in this thread have already pointed out we can back our team to Pull through irrespective of his captaincy. But he will be under a lot of pressure, make no mistake. Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) There is no flak on his captaincy,He is still the best captain in all formats for this team.It is his team he built fit from ruins which Dhoni left. Let Rahane become consistent batsman first. Adam Gilchrist won the two tests in 2004 series as captain vs India while Ponting was injured did it become his team. Ponting incidently lost the only test he captained in that series. Aussies never won any series before and after. Kohli is the unquestioned leader and captain for this team, rightly so.

Kohli is the unquestioned leader and captain for this team, rightly so. they should have sacked ponting actually. overrated captain who got exposed once key players retired.. eventually got sacked after home series humiliation against england lol at dhoni leaving the team in ruins. Dhoni gave him ashwin, jadeja and pujara who made the team undefeatable at home. and our genius kaptaan tried to replace them whenever there was a chance Link to comment
Serpico Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 One thing is for sure, this series proved that Kohli needs Indian team more than Indian team needs Kohli. All these days, his fanboys tried to portray him as a lone warrior who is carrying a mediocre team and that team will fall apart if kohli isn't holding it together. This series conclusively proved that he is just a mediocre captain with great team, there is nothing special about his ""aggressive"" MC BC captaincy and in fact we are much better without it IndianRenegade, adi B, Rightarmfast and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment

In one thread abuses Gill, here targeting Rahane. No worse breed of fans than these Kohli cheerleaders. Link to comment
CG Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Kohli is a good test captain and has backed pacers after dhoni era .His positivity rubs off the team.But every captain has shelf life.Kohli has to give up odi captaincy first. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I can't see any other scenario where the team is winning less than 3 matches. If there's pressure it is on the english team not us. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 We're more or less qualified for the WTC. The pressure is on Australia, England and NZ to qualify for the 2nd spot. Link to comment

Kohli's batting is a plus for us but that doesn't means there isn't enough Talent there in the team. This tour we had a Talent like Gill & Pant showing consistency & Pujara Rahane chipping in useful contributions. Sundar Jadeja played A/R roles to perfection. Ashwin showing ATG level class. Our team is formidable with or without Kohli provided we play with tactics & Planning & not like YAaahoooo Aggression all the time... Which looks funny & cringe most of the time. Link to comment
