Rohit vs Kohli captaincy thread

[Old guy]

@thread' date=' A prime example of Kohli's naiveté in captaincy was his ill preparation to deal with Miller. In the previous games, Kings XI chases have hindered on Marsh and Miller. The issue with Miller is that he can hit straight very well and his hitting V is quite small. This was exploited the other day by CSK by keeping fielders at long on and long off straight. Kohli IMO hadn't done his HW on Miller, call Micky Arthur I say![/quote'] but fielders were here too..and his hitting range is not small by any means he hit straight fixes and then over long off ,long on,mid wicket and those that half upper cut type of shot and he pulled few balls too also range does not matters when ball is going 20 rows back.. mumbai too were going to lose against kxip its just that pollard took a brilliant catch of miller. pune lost bcos of miller and mandeep partnership it was always going to be on of miller,hussey or marsh firing for them to have a chance if that catch was taken people would have been saying he captained well and they would have won by 50 runs :giggle: same way had pollad drop catch every one would have been criticizing him like you all are criticizing kohli:winky:

Rohit not enough examples. But Kohli gives a helpless look when things go wrong. It is wrong. Dhoni is very very different from others in this area. Despite blunders he would always look confident. I remember Srilankans chase against India. 414 runs in 50 overs. They were like 338 for 2 in 38 overs. He was not so intense until then .. But towards crunch situations he just didn't throw in towel. If either ROhit ro Kohli were in that situation they would have thrown in towel.Whole team responded well. You have to judge captain when things go wrong.. not when things go right. When things go right everyone is good. Gambhir to Rohit. When your bowlers don't respond on the field what will you do? How will you keep the energy going?

Kohli's arrogance gets the better of him. Rohit has a relatively calmer head on his shoulders.
