Suhaan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just now, AuxiliA said: Damn! That was totally unexpected. An extremely sad and anti-climactic way to go. He has certainly lost favours with the BCCI. People on this forum are too harsh on him at times (or rather most times lol). He was the GOAT Indian test captain. Transformed our test bowling in ways no one had imagined. Was looking forward to him breaking the record for most test wins as captain. Sadly it not gonna happen. His own form with the bat nosedived,did right by stepping down Everything has a shelf life,he may have thought to resurrect his batting form across formats Would be better if he supports the next incoming captain,whole backlash around him as a player,team performance, captaincy was reactive At the end people want this side reach the heights which only GOAT sides did, Hope the upcoming WCs be his swan song Frustrated, Mosher, express bowling and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Ganguly basically doing the same thing that Chappell did to him. How do you know that? Needless to bring Ganguly here Wonder why people here are getting so emotional when they were wishing for it day in and out He expected to win here without breaking sweat instead lost to a side in transition and his own decision to back two duds backfired,it all came back to him,its a natural process no one is indespensable,his influence slowly started to fade with his form Part of human psychology, people tend to get emotional when things like this happen outta nowhere Edited January 15, 2022 by Suhaan raki05, rollingstoned, nevada and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

ganeshran Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 No other captain developed our seam bowling attack better than Kohli. Sad day for indian cricket. I wish he had led the test side for a few more years. HamHindustani 1 Link to comment
HamHindustani Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I believe its going to have a massive negative effect on his batting in all formats. This could have been delayed till after 2023 WC Link to comment

Last year was our best in test history. What an anti-climactic end. I feel a bit sad. Anyways I hope he plays the role Tendulkar played post 2005. Suhaan 1 Link to comment

Sooda Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 21 minutes ago, ShoonyaSifar said: Kohli as test captain in last 2 years - 7 wins, 7 losses in 15 tests. "Doing so well" my foot. After the next annual ranking update, we will probably be the 3rd or 4th ranked test team. If it's BCCI, kudos to them. The next home cycle starts from our next test series vs SL. Best to start rebuilding for next SENA under a new captain from here Let's put that into context though, away tours to Aus, England, SA Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Absolutely loving the meltdown Kohli PR is having on social media. Abusing Ganguly, Jay Shah, Modi, Amit Shah, BJP, Rohit Sharma even Ambani nevada, raki05, sorak and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment

Swag Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Wow didn't see that coming. Completely blindsided me. Maybe the SA loss along with all the hue & cry about how he let rip at broadcasters brought it to a head. I hope he continues playing as a batsman & also continue tormenting opposition players/commentators/broadcasters with his on-field 'activities' Link to comment
Sgattick10 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 So as per rumors on SM, Virat talked with BCCI last night about resigning and they were happy about it, didn't ask him to reconsider lol Lord, anish2tweet, nevada and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

We don't have next Aus/SA tour for quite a while. Plenty of home fixtures & SL WI tours are lined up. Exact time period we need to groom players like Gill Iyer Bihari or even Ruturaj who I think is ultimate dark horse when it comes to test spot soon. I hope Ruturaj gets a chance soon. Too good a player. Link to comment
ind_hyd1 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Sad that he had to step down, BCCI could have handled this better. Disappointing to see this turn of events , he was far better test captain than many so called legends. He was aggressive and decisive , got result and made some mistakes. Unlike some of his overly hyped predecessor who was one dimensional and was more into PR exercise. Link to comment
Adamant Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Good decision. 6 glorious years of test cricket under the GOAT ASIAN test cricketer but everything comes to an end. Now we look for a new GOAT ASIAN TEST CAPTAIN. I"ll leave watching test cricket if it is Rahul. Insidious, Sgattick10, Austin 3:!6 and 2 others 1 1 2 1 Link to comment

Lord Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Was on the cards when Rohit was made VC. This series was must win for Kohli. Now I wonder if players in Rohit camp caused loss, Anyway clearly our best Test captain ever.Backed players but same backing cost his captaincy Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It would have been difficult for him to hold onto captaincy with that kind of form. Link to comment
