Positives only: Name one positive thing KL Rahul brings to the table as captain?

He brings incredible consistency.  The 'consistency' of getting out to a part time spinner in every match.    Last time he played a ODI was the final game of the bilateral series against Eng in Mar 2021 at home.  Once Dhawan and Rohit had set a nice platform, he came in and tuk tuked his way to a classic 7 off 18 balls before getting OUT to Liam Livingston, of all bowlers.   :phehe:He continues from where he had left.

To me KL looks more like the Pretender than a Leader.

 

Well, Kumble and Dravid will obviously like him. And Ganguly has a good bond with these guys.

 

KL is not the right guy to lead, which will become very clear in times to come.

 

The next 2 years seems to be a bit of a turmoil for Indian cricket

 

This is what happens when there is no succession plan

 

Dhoni to Kohli was one of the smoothest transition..And that was purely due to the bonding between 2 individuals

 

The  board has hardly played any role at all

More like you s*** my b**** I'll scratch yours :lollypop:

 

Any other cap & Dhongi would've been thrown out immediately after CT 2017 debacle, BRat ensured MS stayed at least 4 years past his sell by date!

Dhoni backed younger cricketers. Kohli OTOH has unfairly benched every young cricketer who debuted in his captaincy. Rahul, Pant, Siraj, Gill, the list is long. He has borrowed from the future to window dress the present and the negative effects of his short-sightedness are hurting Indian cricket big time. Kohli proposed KL for VC role in LOIs, but that was for removing rival Rohit. Quitting captaincy will only buy him a short time of goodwill. He has to produce runs or else bow out of the team altogether.

Dhoni abruptly retired in the middle of a tough overseas series. How was that smooth? It was embarrassing really, luckily kohli wasn't overwhelmed and succeeded with the bat and grew his confidence

Dhoni hated test cricket and took the easy option out. He shouldn't have been allowed to. There should be a 6-12 month limit for retiring from all formats of a player has retired from one. Quinton De Cock is just 28 and already retired from test cricket while hanging on in the more lucrative LOI format. How convenient? Upon a time players used to retire from tests to play an upcoming ODI world cup and then retire altogether. Today's smart cricketers want to have the cake and eat it too.
