What sort of performance by India will cost Kohli his captaincy?

[sage]

Is he safe as long as its not 4-0 England? Is there any chance he can be unseated? All the bite and venom in this team from a few weeks ago seems to have dissipated with him back at the helm.

Lol anything less than 3-0 or 2-0 should surely cost him his captaincy.

Kohli is a GOAT Asian test captain. He has 33 test wins which is higher than any other Asian captain.

That's because the team is so good

If we lose this series, there is a chance. Note that I'm only saying its a chance. Kohli's PR via Shastri and his minions' interview with Ashwin even got him the credit for the Aus win. I won't be surprised if he still stays even after a home loss. Just a few weeks ago, we came from the dumps of adelaide (where kohli left) to win the series in fortress gabba. Do you think the same team was playing today albeit under batsmen friendly conditions and a better batting unit. Pant was shouting multiple times to lift the poor body language shown by everyone while our captain himself was showing poor body language.

A home series loss under Kohli, especially after the high of winning in Aus under Rahane, will be disastrous for Kohli personally. The fans will go bonkers on his captaincy, if they aren't already. 

 

But Kohli will still somehow survive due to his Bollywood PR and personal batting record. It will take a World Cup loss at home to finally get rid of him.

Even then he will not quit by himself and his bhakt will be saying than in 1857 so and so captain also lost a series at home.

[Sandeep99]

I’m not positive. He will stay regardless of results. If we lose test series we may win a couple of T20s and the PR will be at full work praising how he redeemed the team from dumps. 

[putrevus]

So opposition is not allowed to do well .They should just roll down? Only morons thinks a captain with 33 wins is bad captain.

Getting out in the group stage of the 2023 World Cup will cost Kohli his captaincy.

If he's as bad a captain as some people make him out to be, it could happen.

Are you suggesting that Indian wins are scripted?

We won without Kohli the batsman in Australia. So clearly, Kohli as a captain brings nothing to the table.

Groups had only 4 teams back then, meaning one shock loss and you could be out. They changed that to have a larger group which gives you the chance to make up for shock losses.

One disaster year ...really disaster and own bad form . Looking at teams around the world disaster year is next to impossible

yes, nothing to do with the pitch being flat or the opposition being good. all Kohli's fault.

So by your logic, if we win it is because of the team. But if we lose it is because of Kohli

[gloryof83]

TBH, I don't think it is a good thing to have one captain for all 3 formats and Kohli is not the best test captain going around.

But I don't see him being replaced, at least in tests, till a viable alternative is found, dont think Rahane is a viable long term option. 

 

Gill / Shaw / Agarwal could be the options couple of years down the track.

He has actually under achieved with the team he has got and the current state of opposition. He would have been brutally exposed against competitive oppositions like Aus, SA, Pak, WI, SL of 90s,  early2000s

[jf1gp_1]

the problem with Virat is he is confused on the kind of captain he wants to be. We all know he is a typical delhi street fighter who is looking for opportunity to jump out of his car and fight with anyone who cuts his car on delhi roads. He however wants to be like Dhoni, ambassador of cricket, play in the spirit of game, sportsmanship blah blah blah all of which he isnt. He seems hell bent on behaving like one of british royals while he is a delhi thug. Oh bhai be true to yourself and you will be fine.
