It has happened before. Srikkanth after drawing test series in pakistan got kicked out as his personal form was bad.

For sure his form was terrible, but there were also suspicions that he was being scapegoated for his role in salary dispute between players and BCCI.

Yes.. That was also a major reason. Ofcourse Srikkanth was not quiet himself after getting hit on the face or head from Akram. He got 13 stitches. He was not quiet himself for a while.

On another note, that tour saw the rise of Vivek Razdan, who took a 5-fer in the last test, but was simply sidelined immediately thereafter.

If Iyer is appointed hope he does it differently than he did with Punjab. India cannot concede 200 runs every match. 

 

He first has to make the team then be captain lol. Not happening under GG

 

His captaincy is fine if bowlers are good

India has won 2 cups. From here to next WC India can do all the experiment they want.  Vaibhav playing T20I is essential since he will be an all formatter shortly.

 

What's the need to make everyone all formatter? Vaibhav is great in T20 let him focus there first. Jaiswal should focus on red ball only.

Won't make a difference.

 

Sooryavanshi must come in. That will make a huge difference.

 

And honestly, I don't get the top-order now means top-order forever. Just get the best in-form batters in and put the two most explosive ones as 1-2. Rest is flexible. And I'll bet a great top-order guy can also practice, adapt and become a finisher.  These guys are young and adaptable. If Ravi Shastri could score a double-hundred as a test opener against McDermott and Warne, after having started his career as a #10 or 11 ...

Also, finishers are 5 to 7. And we have Tilak, Hardik, Rinku and Dube to choose from for these slots.

Should make Pant captain, will be hungry to prove himself...

He's just hungry mentally very weak

As far as T20I team is concerned, Iyer is an outsider. Not wise to make such a guy captain, may cause resentment in others. Can't just walk in and assume captaincy, prove that you deserve a spot in the XI. I am not sure Iyer>Patidar right now. And considering venue of next WC, need to be careful. 

 

Why complicate matters? Make Sanju or Ishan the captain. Both are clutch, deserve their place in the XI and also have captaincy experience, Sanju in RR and Ishan for SRH (briefly) and U-19/SMAT. I would prefer Sanju because of his temperament, him as captain, Ishan or Tilak as VC and see what they do, enough time for LA games.
