nah Rohit was lucky it was SA who choked. He did nothing special except tossing the ball to Bumrah. 

 

as for IPL, RCB never had great bowling attack to win on those pattas. 

 

in Tests its not even a debate. Rohit is the worst having been whitewashed by mediocre Kiwis at home.

 

I would rather have a lucky captain than a good one. And Rohit had the luck on his side. He got past CSK by a run or two a couple of times. He had better man management skills, and tactically much more shrewd than Kohli in the shorter formats. Plus he didn't drop a player on a whim. I doubt Rohit would've dropped Shami from the team for 2019 WC SF the way Kohli did.

Rohit dropped Jurel and Axar from NZ series. Dropped Kuldeep after first game. Was poor with his fields and reviews thoroughly.

 

IPL is trash. Judging captaincy on that is a mistake we are paying for. 

 

Kohli was trash in white ball but that doesnt make Rohit great. While Kohli was definitely ahead in Tests. Atleast didnt get whitewashed at home.

[The Realist]

Rocks up late to Aus with his battery of cooks and food vans

 

Physical state poor but belly flourishing

 

Makes single digit scores in warm up game and test

 

Captaincy non-existent with Kohli more vocal and generally looks disinterested 

 

Captain Sharma is back

worst captain I've seen. But also the luckiest.

 

No idea how he won all those T20 titles

[Bigg Brother]

Rubbish player, rubbish captain.

How was Kohli trash in whiteball cricket?

Same way Dhoni was the luckiest captain to win his ICC trophies. Two trophies were won less than 12 runs. 

 

He was literally carried by his team till finals in 2011.Dhoni got exposed as useless captain in so many t20 world cups when he had the best team and his useless decisions costed team not winning more cups.

 

IPL is the worst way to assess Indian captains.

Other than bi-laterals, he has shyte the bed every single time. As useless as they come who hung on to others' coattails to be part of winning teams. Others like Gambhir, Dhawan, Bumrah etc. had to do the heavy lifting.

As captain. He achieved nothing in white ball and infact squandered a golden opportunity to win the WC in 2019

That was 50/50 at best, Eng could've easily beaten us in the finals like they did in the round robin game, the big miss was 2017 CT final.

I'm not talking of semis alone but the whole preparation for the WC. 

 

We had no settled no. 4. Rayudu was given a long run then suddenly dropped for WC. No one else was tried for long. We played 3 WKs in semis.

 

Dhoni overstayed with nothing performances . 

 

Then ofcourse the great decision to drop Shami for CT. Fantastic captaincy.

[jigjig]

Poor in tests. Lots of promise in white ball cricket but slow progress

[rtmohanlal]

this 'flat track only waste' doesn't even deserve a place in test team , let alone captain the team . Double mistake by the selectors.

And the CT 2017 which was our for the taking and that was totally on Kohli. He decided to field on a patta just to show up Kumble who wanted the team to bat first. Plus decided to drop Umesh and not play Shami and went with spinners against Pak.

When will we stop valuing IPL titles?

 

IPL is for fun and entertainment 

 

Those titles gave him ICT captaincy

Doesn't mean he can captain. We know that now don't we?

 

Where did I say he can?

[vvvslaxman]

This clown needs some divine intervention to win matchces

 

Against AUstralia in world T20  he needed Axar's blinder

Against SA in the final he needed SKY's blinder.

Everyone is wrong only Rohit and Kohli are right

Bevda needs to talk about his captaincyhe lets new partnership develop from

strong position quite often

Now I'm quite certain any other shrewed captain would have made hard for Aus in last year's CWC final when they were 47-3,who knows might have even won
