He won’t be captain for the final England test too. ICC record is self explanatory. Coming to the positives, I don’t believe he went and discovered the fast bowling unit all by himself like some of his fans believe ,because Umesh, Ishant, Shami, Bhuvi have been around forever. However his attitude and confidence definitely rubbed off on the bowling unit while under Dhoni they were just clocking in and out like railway employees (no pun intended) As a batsman no doubt he is world class. Just like Kohli made us miss Dhoni now hope it doesn’t get worse with Rahul Exactly just one overseas win. He lost to sa twice, NZ and eng yet to complete a series victory. He is a bit overhyped in test. ShoonyaSifar, maniac and Vijy 3 Link to comment

ravishingravi Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Key lessons in life and organizations :- 1) Remain humble and don't ever get too big for your shoes. There is always someone to cut you down. 2) Adapt to the change in management and do not offer an obstacle. Try to be part of the new plans. 3) Try to keep your opinion to yourself when serving a role. Commentary on everything under the sky can be costly. 4) Do not antagonize your supporters. Do not give them advice on how to celebrate your festival. 5) Karma. What was done to Anil Kumble is being done to you. This is how Kal Chakra works. Again, be dharmic / humble. 6) Avoid aligning yourself in camps or creating camps to the extent possible. The winds can change anytime. Power corrupts all. Leave it before you are booted. Kohli got this one right here. Well done. Tridibans_16, LordPrabhzy, ShoonyaSifar and 5 others 2 6 Link to comment

Within 3 months, Kohli has lost captaincy every where - T20Is, ODIs, IPL and now tests.

Vijy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 this announcement was a bit sudden, but along expected lines. there must be all manner of drama unfolding behind the scenes Link to comment
