Difference Between Kaptaan Kool and Kohli

[putrevus]

Sri Lanka made Ishant angry at the right time: Virat Kohli http://www.ibnlive.com/cricketnext/news/sri-lanka-made-ishant-angry-at-the-right-time-virat-kohli-549835-78.html Kohli also added that he was very happy with the incident because Ishant had to come out and bowl after it and he was pumped up. One guy Kohli is pumped up and backed his bowler. In contrast to our great Kaptaan Kool. Dhoni also had problems with Sreesanth’s aggression. “It’s quite difficult to control Sreesanth. You don't chide your fast bowler or player in public, what ever it is he might have said or done Dhoni needed to keep that private. Dhoni never backed any fast bowler or tried to develop them.As long as Zak was there he was happy to let him be the captain for fast bowlers which was fine but once Zak was out Dhoni got exposed.

The difference between gut feeling and common sense.

if it wasnt for Dhoni , Ishants international career would have ended couple of years back , like most of you wanted .

How much they allow bowlers to act independently is something i noticed. Dhoni quiet often forces bowlers to bowl certain line and length for a given field. Ideally bowlers should bowl to their strengths and set the field accordingly. That way a bowler will understand his own weakness/strength and evolve. This probably was Umesh meant when he said Kohli uses me well. There is a sense of independence among bowlers. I don't say it is a groundbreaking attribute of a captain. Lot of captains are like that only. Even poor captains like Vengsarkar did not mess with what the bowler wanted to bowl. Under Dhoni only spinners blossomed that too at home. Pace bowlers were erratic.

if it wasnt for Dhoni ' date=' Ishants international career would have ended couple of years back , like most of you wanted .[/quote'] It is not about Ishant Sharma or Sreesanth.It is about the attitude of the captain towards his players. As a captain you cannot talk down your own player in public, you do all those behind close doors. Backing a particular player/players always will happen, Kohli is backing Nohit that is fine but dont make your own player look bad in press.

Kohli is backing Nohit that is fine .

Not fine, at all.

Dhoni said our fast bowlers are brainless so he tried to force his brain into them.

The biggest difference I see Kholi is looking for 20 wkts in a match and not waiting for opp to declare but the real test will be non-subcontinental pitches but at least he has shown intent. Also Dhoni was from Old Indian school of defense at all cost and then may be offence ..unless playing in India.

Dhoni believed in drying up runs and hoped that wickets will come while trying to do so. Kohli's primary tendency is to take 20 opposition wickets and do whatever is required to take them. Dhoni believed in the process. Kohli wants immediate results.Wants to win at all costs. Dhoni did not like his quick bowlers. Kohli loves them.

Exactly. Zaheer Khan was like the bowling captain when he played and got the field he wanted. Zaheer also bowled to that field and Dhoni never intervened. The same cant be done with sprayguns like Umesh and Aaron.

If his returns in domestics were good he'd have made a comeback. Dropping someone doesn't mean their international career is over. It's an opportunity to get better and make a comeback.

Well, Kohli should be compared with Dhoni after 3-4 years, not after one tour against arguably the weakest test side. Dhoni took India to #1 in tests when he had the right team. It is easy to say that Dhoni could have done this and that when he had a bowling unit consisting entirely of spray guns. Umesh and Aaron can't bowl two deliveries on the same spot and you expect a captain to have great faith in his bowlers. Ishant is one of our better bowlers but that says more about lack of bowling depth in our team. Give this Indian bowling unit to Clive Lloyd, even he would have been whitewashed every where he went.

Dhoni wasn't that kind of captain. He was a captain, not a leader. He would care about cricket only till he is on the field or playing cricket. After that, he wont even pick his phone up if supposedly a player tried to talk to him. He would try to get the best of what is at his disposal rather than improving things.
