Sharma is dead, all hail new King Rahul?

[The Realist]

Will they persist with old man Sharma or give the captaincy to the next in line KL "the meek" Rahul?

 

Ideally need a fresh face with new thinking, a Graeme Smith moment, but likely they will annoint Rahul as new captain. With Dravid as coach the combo could plumb lower depths.

ROHIT SHARMA is a great Selfless captain. India has found a great strategic and Selfless captain.

 

 

[chewy]

Pretty much another overhyped player will be lined up as captain in Gill.

 

Rahul will provide transition once Gill smashes meaningless 100s in bilaterals. Then make Gill captain 2 years before 2027

 

If Gill is made expect another decade of zero ICC trophies will follow.

I would've given it to Pandya but he's not fit enough to play odis. I say give it to Gill, Jaiswal, or even someone like Rinku Singh. Let a youngster lead for a change instead of a TTF and a stat padder. KL has shown he can't handle adversity and he's obsessed with milestones. I say get in a new coach and pair a youngster with him.

Proverbial from the frying pan into the fire.

Tests to be given to Bumrah/Ashwin. ODI's to Gill, Pandya is anyway there for T20's.

He's not fit and durable enough. Even if he gets the job, will need a VC who will be the de facto captain half the time when Pandya is out injured.

Did we not lose the SA test series with KL as the captain?

[Number]

Till Rishabh doesn't get fit Pandya will be in the mix but slowly Rishabh will take over in all formats. I hope Rishabh gets fit in time. 

KL Rahul should only play tests for us and bat at no. 3.

If he doesn’t trip over a cotton candy and injure himself

Ind's WC campaign may not hv ended the way Rohit would hv wanted to but there is nothing for him to feel embarassed about.  So, this is the ideal time (and opportunity) for him to officially announce retirement from whiteball cricket.  No way he is playing 2027WC.  (He would hv turned 40 by then)  

But then, as always, I m wondering what is stopping him from announcing it?   It has been almost 24 hrs since the defeat.  If he can appear in 2 hr long pre-match conference before the final game, can't he find a few minutes to announce retirement?

He is in top form . Great reflexes. Got two more years . Groom yash with him . They will learn from him . Else they will emulate rat and become milestone chasers .
