1. You guys always talk about moving away from old players. Yet to fail to see how we did it successfully with Saha, Umesh, Bhuvi, and Ishant. Dhawan and Pujara were were persisted with for some time, but they also had bigger legacies. Common, give him the credit. 

 

2. You talk about attacking batting. We have been doing it for quite a while. 

 

3. During Kohli-Shastri time, they were criticized for not backing their players. Now we have seen enough backing of players-- Iyer, SKY, Rahul, Dube (I know). There is a management who backs players during tough time as well. People, on the other hand, end up blaming them for the players' failure. Failing players is not TM's fault. 

 

 

4. And lastly, you criticize him for not dropping Kohli, Rohit (for whatever reason). Rohit is a part of the selection panel itself, and Kohli is Star Sports favourite guy, how do you drop them? 

 

Whenever a selection fails, you blame him and not the selectors (we don't know much of influence one has over selections). 

 

But when it succeeds, you don't credit him (Gill, Siraj, Arshdeep, Jurel).

The best thing he did was making sure india has batting till 8 in t20s. Same formula india applied in test cricket at home.

Yes and also how kuldeep was backed in white ball and the confidence he gained translated into tests. Sarfraz finally got a chance. The only bozo he backed who was utter crap was Prasidh Krishna. Mukesh for whatever we might say got 4/5 wickets in the second test against saf

Krishna has the tools but lacks mentally. Would have been better if he first played in India instead of debuting in SA.

 

Too early to write him off.
