Countdown to 2023 World Cup group stage exit under Kohli

[QuarantineTormentino]

That’s right. Kohli will still be captain for the 2023 World Cup. By then teams like Afghanistan, Namibia etc would have improved and become better contenders. Tortuous 2 years ahead for Indian cricket fans

2023 WC should be fun... more ineptness from Ratman and his team of feckless gits.

no way . flat tracks prepared specially for us .. no way we are  existing early.

Earlier the problem was our choker kaptaan loli.  Now, it is bigger.    Let's assume, loli quits odi captaincy in few months, then who would u give the captaincy to?      Rohit?  LMAO.   Rohit's choking skills in ICC tournaments is at par with loli (if not worse).

they will probably try and give it to KLR, who has serious mental midget issues as well

KL is not even in the regular odi playing 11.  As long as Dhawan is there, opening slot won't be available.   Maybe in the MO, KL could fit in.  But he has genuine issues with strike rotation.  A certified mental midget. Actually, our T20 and ODI teams are nothing but a rabble right now.

KL has been playing in MO for a while, which is why he could end up being made cap'n. one clueless feckless player after another.

You clearly forgot about dew in India in Oct-Nov with Kohli's knack of losing tosses to bat first, didn't you?

[I6MTW]

I don't think ODIs will be a problem for the current team. They can qualify for knockouts and lose there but they aren't going out in the group stage. In fact the ODI format is better for these slow pokes than T20. And teams like Namibia and Afghanistan don't have the firepower to last 50 overs. AFG batting barely lasts for 20 overs, and both of their openers not more than 5. They aren't doing anything in ODIs.

 

I expect another SF exit if Kohli is the captain.

yes, that seems a plausible outcome. a lot of the players in the current team are quite decent at ODIs and should at least pull the team through the initial stage. but the moment we enter a KO stage, expect Rat's mental midgetry to bloosom

[Serpico]

More than group exit, I'm afraid of another wc loss against Pak, this time at home. If any captain can accomplish it, its kohli

[IndianRenegade]

My mind hurts just thinking after so many knockout eff ups, india will still go with Kohli as the captain.

Flat wickets are nice for our batsmen but our bowlers will leak runs too. I doubt any total is safe with them. 

[zubinpepsi]

i feel like the team doesnt care to perform for loli.. is there some  resentment brewing in the team..

it almost like they dont give a fk about the captain and want him to fail.

 

Loli doesnt seem to have the team in his hold.. there is no passion left in the team and they dont seem to be energized  by whatever the captain or the coaching setup says..

[rkt.india]

We are a better ODI side 

[New guy]

Pretty sure kohli wont captain us in the world cup. He has burned too many bridges and rhis t20 performance will be put on him

Loli is a chewt but the team represents the hopes of the country. They shouldn't have the baad me jaye attitude ever.

Kohli won't be the captain in 2023.

Correct.

 

No way he will last that long.

 

He will barely score a run let alone a 50.

[Lone Wolf]

Hopefully both Rohit & Kohli don't make it to 2023..  Enough of these oldies.  Let's rebuild.  If it means another group stage exit in Australia I am all for it.
