R!TTER Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) That's true but actions do speak louder than words, let's see what chase master - India's best batter since "you know who" does on the toughest/grandest stage out there. For one I'll admit that "some" of the criticism especially around his batting is unwarranted including from me, but his captaincy blunders cannot be understated - starting from CT 17 final Edited January 23, 2021 by R!TTER sorak 1 Link to comment

Adamant Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 7 hours ago, The Realist said: Next thing they will manufacture is another fairy tale about how Kohli provided input to improve the covid vaccines. Has been totally sidelined by the series victory and become a non factor hence making up BS stories to keep him relevant. Flat track bully failed yet again. But still his away avg is upto 27 now from 26. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Useless captain... so sad they’re still trying to credit him when he contributed to nothing but 36... helperononline and raki05 2 Link to comment

He was not the captain. In his captaincy he's been mostly home track bully as a captain. 2020 series which rahane won or home series against aus where rahane captained are still the best series victory since fab 4 team and 2020 victory is our best ever. Let Kohli win something relevant first as a captain before picking up his banner everywhere. Link to comment

R!TTER Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Don't forget the 2-nil drubbing in NZ, where the best batter since "you know who" did * all with the bat - over the last 5 years our biggest wins have come on the back of Pujara's batting in 2018/19 & Rahane here. Contrast that to Brat - failed spectacularly against Oz in 2017 at home, failed in crucial moments against SA/Eng even with batting. For all the praise he gets with the bat/cap he's surely flunked more final (exams) than any other alternative, yet his fans keep cheerleading for him Link to comment

This victory trumped every overseas victory only wc 50 over can match this. We won 2 crucial series against red hot Aussies when rahane captained the team and both occasions we were trailing 1-0.

Virat Kohli messaged me: ‘What are you doing?’ I was shocked. I thought ‘why is he messaging at this time?’ I told him ‘head coach (Ravi Shastri), myself, Bharat Arun and Vikram Rathour are sitting together’. He said, ‘I’ll also join you’. I said, ‘no problem, come over I told him ‘head coach (Ravi Shastri), myself, Bharat Arun and Vikram Rathour are sitting together’- With bottle of Glenfidditch.

Safe to say, with anyone other than Kohli as captain, we would have won 2018 SA and England series as well The bowlers handled smith and warner in this series, they would have done the same under Kohli as evident by the meteoric rise of India's bowling lineup under kohli. Apart from that he would have been our highest run scorer as he showed in the first match. So, safe to say we would have won 3-1 in Aus if Kohli was the captain Also if someone else was there in place of kohli in 2018 then who would have made 600 runs in that series. Same goes for Sa where he was the best batsman of the series. Link to comment

Everyone celebrated that victory(except kohli haters) , the only difference was that this time we were underdogs as we didn't have our best batsman and premier fast bowlers were missing.

sage Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 All is forgiven for the 36 AO now that we know Kohli made the enterprising suggestion to promote Pant (who was not even picked by him) the night after that match helperononline 1 Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Fielding coach and all coaches are spot on , It is Kohli's fighting spirit which has shone thru this test series. So glad selectors did not become morons and tried to change the captaincy or even created a controversy. King6 and Jimmy Cliff 1 1 Link to comment
