IPL is an entertaining league' date='no one takes it seriously[/quote'] apart from selectors aha not just indian but other boards use t20 leagues as criteria

[Lord]

How many times we have seen dhoni not having a slip for a new batsman? Kohli kept a slip for the new batsman. Don't you remember dhoni keeping zak , ishanth , ashwin at square leg or gully? Dhoni wants an athletic team because he has this theory of" everyone everywhere" which results in having fielders at the wrong position. At least kohli didn't kept the slow movers inside the circle. Fast bowlers always need longer spells to settle into a good rhythm. I'm surprised you are not aware of it. Best thing about kohli is he used the fastest bowler in the power play, varun may have gone for plenty, but you always gotta give the benefit of the doubt that a team like Bangladesh would struggle against a bowler who is bowling at 145 plus. We don't expect dhoni to talk to bowlers all the time, but he hardly says anything to them and gives a mouthful to the likes of jaddu and ojha who are basically his slaves. Lol.

I'm only talking about SC ODI matches.Dhoni has a slip too for spinners or new batsmen.Remind me any match you are talking about when fast bowlers were at gully?:hmmm: Fast bowler do need a spell agree.But 3-4 over is enough if bowler is struggling.there is a match to be won so its best to try other bowlers specially spinners in these conditions.There was no reason to bowl Aaron in PP when he was already down on confidence.Most captains often use their best bowler in batting PP,not the worst. Which keeper talks to bowlers?AB,Sanga are the same when they are captains?

[Cricketics]

I always wanted him as a captain, but this is too early to say. Give him sometime. But he will definitely be my next choice as captain whenever Dhoni decides to permanently leave the captaincy.

You keep on mentioning this point. I will reply with the same point. Kohli was bowling Aaron as he was looking or wickets and not to contain. Which was the right ploy though it didn't work. Only wickets could have restricted the score, not containing. Containing has never worked for us

Containing has never worked for us[/quote'] yes and Shami would have been best bet to take wickets,no?He is our best bowler for a while no and bowled very well in start too?Why would one prefer a guy whos been smashed over Shami

[CSK Fan]

yes and Shami would have been best bet to take wickets' date='no?He is our best bowler for a while no and bowled very well in start too?Why would one prefer a guy whos been smashed over Shami[/quote'] Because Shami is extremely useful in death overs and was the last hope for Kohli. Damage during PP could be recovered from, but damage during death cannot be. So Kohli took a gamble and went for wickets. IMO, the right ploy. He would have been forced to bowl Aaron in the death otherwise which might have been costlier

What I like most about kohli was when a 4 or 6 was hit. He did not stand there looking cool and posing as if all in control

[King Tendulkar]

He also did not give the pacers there overs in 1 over spells. A revelation in indian cricket

So how did he stand?

[King Tendulkar]

So how did he stand?

Well he stood at mid off. Right next to bowlers to support, enocurage and kick up backside if needed. Not posing behind the stumps with poker face dreaming of Ishant

[King Tendulkar]

O and shock horror dhobi fanatics. Team can cope without your great hero and still win:cantstop:

Maybe Dhoni should clone himself and stand at mid off. I bet you would like 2 Dhonis in the team

Uhm,nobody is indispensable..besides lets wait for some more time. Kohli only needs to win the WC,T20 WC,Champions trophy,Asia cup and get the Test team to number 1.:nice:

[asterix]

Kohli has already won U19 WC which Dhoni can never win.... :beee: What's this, a trophy competition to greatness? As long as Kohli helps in building a great team from scratch (very few Indian captains have done that) and does well in Test matches, home and abroad, he'll get respect... :nice:

[vvvslaxman]

Even though he is a smart cricketer, he still will need time to look at everything from bowlers perspective. India hasn't found a bowler who can lead the attack. Basically all are relatively new. SO he has to work really really hard with bowlers off the field to work out plans, strategies.

and he won't need to hit a six off to end the match after doing absolutely nothing the whole tourney.

Sure ,that's your parameter and you are entitled to it .I was only stating mine. If Kohli builds a great team,it will win trophies under him just as Dhoni's team did.

[KFC_Zinger]

All Kohli has to do to get Dhoni off captaincy is to stop scoring runs when Dhoni is captain.... Our captain cool will not win any match without his main batsman :)....
