zep1706 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli and Pujara are the only guys in the team that can take over from Dhoni. Rest of them are either uncertain of their spot or quite new (like Rahane). So out of these two which one would you prefer today and why? Anyone outside of these two?
Ultimate_Game Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli has to be the next captain. He did well when he cptained u-19 team and to me is the one who will take over.
zep1706 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli has to be the next captain. He did well when he cptained u-19 team and to me is the one who will take over. Do you remember how good he was tactically then? One good thing about Kohli is that he hates to lose and won't be going through the motion smiling like Dhoni does. His negative point is that he can be a real ***** and so not sure how much respect he would get from his teammates as a leader. But leadership may bring more responsibility to his batting, which is one thing that's missing from his batting especially in test matches. He tends to throw his wicket away.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli won the u-19 WC and is someone whose batting will not be affected by captaincy. I rated Gambhir a good captain as well. Pity he's so out of form he's no longer in the team.
adi B Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Pujara.kohli does have an attitude and Will be aggressive but I guess tactically Chepu Will be better. The biggest problem might be that he wont be able to concentrate purely as a batsman like he is doing ATM

Pity he's so out of form he's no longer in the team. I agree with this.kohli's batting form wont get affected too much because of captaincy

The biggest problem might be that he wont be able to concentrate purely as a batsman like he is doing ATM But I think eventually Kohli will get the call. India generally want the same captain across all three formats and that may work against Che.

The biggest problem might be that he wont be able to concentrate purely as a batsman like he is doing ATM its not like pujara is being asked to field like jadeja. we know pujara isnt the best or worst of fielders but its fine to have more than one role. give VK vice-captaincy and captaincy in ODIs/t20s so that they support each other and think critically. take the chance, whats the worst that will happen? we lose another test? going to happen anyway
zep1706 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Damn should have made the poll public.
mancalledsting Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli- he has aggression needed to kick this team into gear
zep1706 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 take the chance, whats the worst that will happen? we lose another test? going to happen anyway Exactly! It's time we moved on from Dhoni's stale captaincy, need someone who can bring some freshness to the side.
rajmarie Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli looks super agressive...but what I like is his hatered to defeat no matter the type of match he is playing. He can get over agressive at times...as seen in IPL captaincy period....but I guess only experience can get that under control. IMO his batting will not be affected...but every batsman goes through up & down...& I hope his down is not during his captaincy period.

He has become a better batsman after getting more responsibility. Might happen with Kohli too. He is too good a batsman to have regular failures.
Deleted_User_1 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I would get in Kohli at this point and just get rid of Jharkhandi to avoid any conflict.
Pagalpanti Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I would get in Kohli at this point and just get rid of Jharkhandi to avoid any conflict. Dhoni doesn't warrant a place in test team (with his poor record away) if he loses captaincy anyway.
wanted_desi Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Kohli, want someone who cares and isn't afraid.
King Tendulkar Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 anyone I don't care. Anyone but dhoni
kaptaan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 we need split captaincy kohli for t20/odis,pujara for tests
Crookbond Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 If the benchmark is Dhoni then I think even Manmohan Singh would be a good Test captain.
