ShoonyaSifar Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 2 hours ago, raki05 said: India captain Virat Kohli was missing from the field as he was sitting in the dugout with Rohit Sharma captaining the side. But why was he sitting in the dugout? Kohli has revealed. "I ran for a ball and threw it and I just aggravated my leg a little bit. Nothing serious, I should be fine for the game in a day and a half. Better than sprinting for five or six overs, because we have another game in two days and I took the smart decision of going out. I didn't want to make it into a niggle or an injury Looks like an excuse for not being the captain when it looked near certain we will lose the match and hence the series. Basically VeeRat chickened out. raki05, SRT100, nevada and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment

If India are to win the T20 WC we need Kohli to take off during important parts of the game and hand things over to Rohit Since he won't step down from captaincy, that's the next best thing he could do. Let's see if his ego allows him to pull off this smart move. The Australia tour is ample proof of his absence boosting the players' confidence and putting a spring in their step. The team is good enough to move on without him. It doesn't even need his batting. Edited March 19, 2021 by nevada sorak and raki05 2 Link to comment

Realistically speaking its not like India will ever have a cricketer playing for them whose parents are not of Indian Origin. Of course there is going to be Indians possibly playing for countries like England, Australia and New Zealand as examples where the basic standard of living for the average person is far superior than India's.

afan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So maybe its time, Kohli hands the White Ball Captaincy over to Rohit Sharma? To start with maybe T20 and later on ODI as well? Kohli can focus on the Test matches meanwhile Link to comment

He didn't *just* say what Thakur said he did. Unless he speaks really slow. Maybe there was some technical advice too. Who knows? Just a captain doing his job. He said it in marathi, then english and then hindi. 1 Min is good enough. Mariyam and sorak 1 1 Link to comment
ravishingravi Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Look, we all know who should be captain. But we all know we are stuck. So, I guess we have to be patient and wait for few results. Link to comment

Thats not putting pressure on him or spoon feeding him at all, he was just encouraging him He is called Kohlitics for a reason :P Link to comment
