How on earth Kohli end up losing test captaincy to Rohit Sharma?

[Trichromatic]

Who wasn't even considered fit for test cricket.

[Ultimate_Game]

Pant or Bumrah should've been given the Test captaincy. They were the only sure shot starters in Tests.

[Lord]

it was Ganguly. He hated Kohli. Made up some lame ass reason of wanting same captain in all formats when Kohli quit T20 captaincy. As if split captaincy doesnt work.

 

Rohit is the worst player to become our Test captain and worst captain ever. Makes Dhoni in SENA  looks good

MI Lobby! They thought he was so great winning 5 IPEEEL

Pant was doing blunders in IPL...it went against him.

 

Bumrah being a fast bowler...his availability in all games was always a question mark.

 

Ashwin was another choice but he doesn't play overseas.

 

Rahane & Pujara were themselves struggling. Jadeja was never in contention after the CSK fiasco, Rohit got the opportunity because of TINA factor.

 

[tapandrun]

Kolhi was asked to give-up white-ball captaincy and keep captaining in red-ball. 

Kolhi didnt want that and rohit was the logical choice exp. player who has a place in test side for the foreseeable future. 

 

Taking white ball captaincy from Kolhi was right thing to do it was already the time, Ind has played and lost WCs under him nothing new was coming off so it good to give a chance to some1 else. But red-ball there was no1 better than Kolhi.

They didn't want separate captain for separate format. A big blunder. Even if they wanted to take away captaincy from him they should have given it to someone else. Not Rohit sharma.

That is why Cricketers cant be good administrators they flow withe emotions…. Badtameez Raja made fool out of him in Doshti Yaari.

Pujara even in his struggles was better than Rohit

Only guy who doesn't have a 100 there.   Rahane, Pujara, Rahul, Kohli, Pant, Jaiswal  have all got 100 in Australia.

Rohit was considered non entity in test cricket not long ago

Just like he and Kohli are selected for eternity across formats. No matter their performances, or lack of any practice or domestic matches, they're part of the team.

 

It's not a secret why Indian team across formats looks better without these two dragging them down. BCCI and selectors to be blamed for continuing to include these shameless pieces of shytes in the team.

 

I thought being clean swept to a poor kiwi side at home would break the camel's back and get them pushed out. But nope! Here they're destroying our chances of a win in Aus. And I'm sure they'll be there to derail us in another ICC tourney (CT) next year. Never seen players who delivered so little extended such a long rope for 0 returns.

They announced team well before NZ series ended to avoid that question.

Still no declaration

Selectors are complicit in this game. The team for Aus tour was announced in a haste day before 2nd test against NZ ended. The simple reason being RoKo, Jadeja-Ashwin had to be on the tour. The old mates club.

Despite us beating Aus in Aus with youngsters we brought a dad's army. And that too a non-performing dad's army. It's not as if likes of Kohli and Rohit were winning us matches. They've been passengers in Tests forever and yet are in the team despite being the main reasons for us being clean swept at home for the first time in our history. And instead of being dropped the phucking morons are brought to Aus to suck here as well.
