They are not even VCs how can they be ahead of Iyer

I never said they are ahead of Iyer. Sanju was a good captain for RR. Ishan has always been captain material from his Under 19 days he led Jharkhand really well and these 3 are better than Gill

Gill isn't getting sacked as ODI captain. Iyer has a case for T20s though. 

 

We're gonna make the same mistake we made with pushing Kohli over Rohit in white-ball cricket. We went trophyless despite having the best bowling attack with Bumrah, peak Shami, Kuldeep, Pandya etc. Gill is the same. He isn't gonna win you anything.

Mera khoon khaul raha hai!

 

The guy took 3 down-trodden franchises to the top - KKR, DC and PBKS and won a title with KKR! Once can be luck, twice can be coincidence but doing it 3 times across 5 seasons means there's something he's doing right and knows how to put a winner.

 

Plus it's not as if he himself is hiding like SKY. He's contributing to the wins and is the best middle order batter. Patidar is second best.

 

 

Phil salt/Narine and Mitchell Starc won the title for KKR

Iyer has imploded at kings.

 

I think india need a captain who is not too important based on form but is good tactically.

 

Axar Patel will be my choice.

Axar patel is not a captaincy material. He doesn't even communicate directly with players. KL Rahul is the one who did almost all the geeing up and other stuffs for DC. In T20I Sanju is an option. But BCCI might shove GIlll against down our throat disturbing the entire batting line up.

Gill should never come to t20s,our T20 wc26 dominant win is testimony to that

Sanju Samson / bumrah must be the captain for the T20I indian team.

 

Not Samson as his spot will come in under a lot of pressure. We have likes of Sooryavanshi, Jaiswal, Arya etc. waiting in the wings for the opening spot along with Abhishek. And Ishan is a wk option if Samson is ever out of form. If Samson is made the captain we'll go through the same challenge when we tried to force Gill into the T20 team.

 

Iyer is still the best choice for the captain. PBKS' bowling has imploded due to Jansen no-show and backing Chahal along with likes of Bartlett. Plus their butter-finger fielding didn't help either with them dropping multiple catches every game. Iyer is still one of the best middle order batters at 4 and tactically pretty shrewd.

 

Bumrah is a great choice for T20 captain and Iyer can be the vc with an understanding that Bumrah will take a break from meaningless bilaterals and play select few T20s. As a captain I don't want Bumrah to play every single match and needs to be protected for the next 3-4 years.

T20s is about current form so ideally there should be no fixed captain. Select the squad first (based on form and conditions) and rotate the captaincy accordingly.
