He would kick out these non performing batsmen. YUvi is still holding grudge against Ashwin for kicking him out from the PKXI team. I think selection committed shouldn't even give chance to Team management. Unfortunately Team management plays a huge role in selection which should not be the case. Link to comment

We all know the favoritism that Kohli has indulged in all his career -with highly biased decisions like favoring Chahal over Kuldeep. I am surprised that Rohit is doing the same. There are commercial interests and conflicts of interests all around - indirect pressure from sponsorship companies causes captain to favor players who have same sponsors.

coffee_rules Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) OP What do you mean Karnataka quota? If we had a quota like pre-00s Mumbai lobby had, we should’ve seen more players. KL is an outlier , has friends in high places, hence the preferential treatment. The focus on KL gives guys like Kohli, Pujara an extended run. Just like Iyer who is supposed to play spin very well failed, there is no guarantee that Gill would do much better than KL. Mayank plays spin best among those ignored. A lot of top order of both teams have failed here. Stop focusing only on KL. Every thread is about both Rahuls. Open one thread and gaali deke bhadaas nikalo, nikamma!

maniac Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I have trolled some fans here about “K factor” especially when it comes to bias of players like Kumble etc but I don’t think that is the case at all here. In fact those days of Mumbai lobbies and K factors are over. Now it’s the brand name, PR etc, the same reason why Salman gets paid more than say Nawazuddin. Not for acting skills clearly. if it was k factor than Karun Nair is probably the most wronged cricketer in recent times. Is he great or not is a different debate but he was treated unfairly. Mayank has played more impactful knocks than Rahul in tests but didn’t get the same rope. Link to comment

Nevertheless he made the decision to review to save his career, not because he thought he was not out. His career is not gone but he temporarily needs to vacate his place for gill. KL can come back if he performs in domestics. Link to comment
Frustrated Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Not sure what is more disgusting. Kela's KLPD style of batting or his ignorant fanboys here on ICF whose only agenda is to troll vote any post which criticizes this joke of a cricketer. Link to comment

Texan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Looks like KL's goose is cooked finally... for a little while at least. No way TM can afford to play him after yet another failure. Link to comment

Texan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Interesting fact about Kela and his fellow over hyped player of the last decade, Ishant Sharma. Now Kela's batting average of 33 is within one run of Ishant's bowling average of 32. Suhaan and Frustrated 2 Link to comment
Need4Speed Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Do we need to start a petition to remove KL? its getting really frustrating to see him in the team.. Link to comment

KL can come back if he performs in domestics. Nope. If he's dropped once , he's off the Indian team for good. He's had way too many chances to have any credit left in the bank. Look at the other batsmen who were tried and discarded without even getting three tests in a row Link to comment

LordPrabhzy Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Does KL have dirt on the entire TM and coach and captain? Or BCCI is pressurising TM to keep him in the team due to IPL team captain brand value? express bowling, sarcastic and rollingstoned 3 Link to comment
