In some cases, like when batters turn into fishermen, or there's a complete lack of basic fitness, the bashing is valid.

 

yes but not all the time.

But why was SKY removed so quickly? He just won us the WT20 na? 

 

I know we are looking forward to next WT20 and SKY is already 36 but a retirement series would have been good.

He wasn't removed quickly. He has been carried for nearly 2-3 years now. Failed in ICC tourneys as a batter, failed in Asia Cup, failed to show up on the big stage. Now is the time to go and he should've left the same way Rohit did after winning the WT20. Selectors made the right call and in fact he was lucky that he played the last WT20 coz his performances over the last 2 years didn't warrant his selection.

Sky is the 1st proper t20 batters ind had. He played t20 as it should have been played. Gets fair criticism for under performing in Icc events.

 

Yet won 2- t20i wc.

 

As a captain too won most of his games, kept team and team-members over his own interest, gave-up his own spot to verma and opting to play at t20is most odd spot #4 causing him to lose the game and finally now looks like he has lost the power game as well.

 

Hope team continues to play as it did under him and the next captain be as selfless and keeps team over themselves as he did.

Come on bro, he got a long rope. Carried for last 2 years despite doing zilch in Asia Cup, WC, that too as captain. 

 

He deserves a farewell match IMO, but that is enough. Greater players than him have been discarded more easily.

As a next door neighbor feel happy for him and the class he is showing, he will be remembered fondly in a few yrs time.

Congrats on the career. A new chapter awaits.

Great t20 career but underwhelming numbers in ICC Wt20 . Has centuries overseas in T20s which is remarkable thing. Will be remembered for that iconic catch. 

 

Should not have played that one test and ODI WC but Overall good cricketer. Never thought he will play for India even one format when he was with KKR in 2014-15.

Always a great attitude, work ethic and team-spirit.

Thank you indeed. Does deserve a farewell series. After all, he is a world cup freaking winning captain.

IMO the final match being the WC final is much better. Signing off on a high and a 3 match bilateral T20 series against SL or a 2nd XI SENA team doesn't sound so good.

[Chaos]

When on song he is unstoppable. But past year or so…he just depended on scoop shots

[jf1gp_1]

We were playing boring T20 cricket till he arrived that's when we started doing well. WC winning captain SKY. Well done.

Thank you to the power 10 lol Recent performances in stark contrast what we saw under SKY.
