sarcastic Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Having restricted England to a paltry score of 201, Shreyas Iyer is finally getting his first T20I win as captain. But the question now is, if we have options who could do better. I am still not sold on Shreyas, the T20I batsman. Frustrated, Vickydev, Manucrick and 1 other 4
Frustrated Posted July 7 Posted July 7 (edited) SKY as captain. Matches: 20, Lost: 4. Iyer as captain. Matches: 5, Lost 4. (1 NR) Edited July 7 by Frustrated New guy and Manucrick 2

(1 NR) Probably not as much to do with captain as it looks. We have messed up the entire leg here. SKY was a decent captain but India looked on a roll then.. Players performed and made up for the Captain. Ireland/ENG series is a sad story right now.
NameGoesHere Posted July 7 Posted July 7 If you look closely (or from far enough away) England’s score of 201 looks like T20I. That statement of mine is as relevant as Iyer’s captaincy right now.

zen Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Captaincy is relatively overrated in T20s. Need to do away with fixed captaincy. The coach can appoint someone on the day (on rotation basis) to carry out instructions and plans. nevada 1

zen Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Just now, Lord said: And BCCI chief can appoint coach of the day hahaha, but you need the coach on overseas tour. We know coaches (unless you are Dhoni) run the T20 game from behind the scenes.

No they don't. Rohit ran the show when we won the WT20 2024. Even in IPL RCB's fortunes changed when they changed captain

Even in IPL RCB's fortunes changed when they changed captain It depends on the team. A captain cannot it change fortunes esp. in a short format like T20s. On the other hand, a bad instinctive move or a player blocking a slot because he is the captain can hurt a team more. Edited July 7 by zen Suhaan 1

It is different here the captain has destroyed the team by becoming the captain.Remove him team becomes better instantly. Edited July 7 by putrevus

Lord Posted July 7 Posted July 7 5 minutes ago, zen said: It depends on the team. A captain cannot it change fortunes esp. in a short format like T20s. Neither can a coach tbh. Conditions matter too. Same team under Iyer only will play much better in India
putrevus Posted July 7 Posted July 7 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Lord said: Faf was not great captain too and didn't even deserve a place. No captain was winning with that unbalanced team. If Kohli has current RCB team he would have won too. Edited July 7 by putrevus
zen Posted July 7 Posted July 7 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Lord said: Neither can a coach tbh. Conditions matter too. Same team under Iyer only will play much better in India Which is why the need to remove fixed captaincy. As it does not give automatic spot to the captain, keeping options open for the best person to lead on the day. In this team - Kishan, Samson (if in the squad), Axar, etc., can all captain. We do not need to create a fixed spot for the captain. Edited July 7 by zen nevada and Lord 2
New guy Posted July 7 Posted July 7 6 minutes ago, zen said: It depends on the team. A captain cannot it change fortunes esp. in a short format like T20s. A captain can 100% change fortunes by disrupting a team and causing insecurity, etc. We literally saw this exact template with MI too. Those who dont learn from history, repeat it putrevus and zen 2
