gakgupta Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Well... He praises small contributions (Shami's, jadeja's and saha's contribution this series...) He acknowledges support staff work publicly He always make sure, bowlers get more lime-light than batsman. I believe India never had such captain. I have no doubt in my mind that we will generate world-class bowlers under him. Not because, he has eye for talent but because he encourages bowlers continuously. Laaloo, express bowling, tweaker and 2 others 5

Texan Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 He has definitely started on the right note. Hope he can stay that way for the next 5-6 years that he may be captain. Even Dhoni showed great captaincy early on until he became stubborn one day and remained as such. beetle and tweaker 2

Its just that early on he inherited a team with Viru Sachin Laxman Kumble Ganguly and Dravid. In contrast Kohli inherited a team where he was the senior. tweaker and maniac 2
putrevus Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I see lot of good Ponting in him , hopefully he will become as good batsman as Ponting. Ponting never got any credit for winning so much but he had this insane drive of winning every match he played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk gakgupta 1
wtachetna Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Virat Kohli is surely a good captain. But I disagree with those who are saying he is a better captain than Dhoni. According to me, captaincy requires cool-head. Virat is a great, aggressive player. He cannot plan with patience which Dhoni can do. New guy, Rasgulla and G_B_ 2 1

Lannister Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Have to say we underachieved a lot in the last 5-6 years with the kind of players we had. The captain's cowardice approach harmed our team's morale. sscomp32 1

When he had a average team he pretty much lost it. Even after Warne and Mcgrath retired in 2007, Aussies under Ponting were a force unlike Dhoni who instead of looking for win against very weak teams like NZ and WI opted to be safe, there is a reason why India under Dhoni never won more than one match overseas under Dhoni.

Lost WC in 2011 and many more..The reason we don't win much overseas is because you got no good pace bowlers and if you got hacks like Umesh yadav who can bowl phasttt like a bowling machine the ball will get delivered even more phastter to the boundary line. The one even virat won against is the shittest sides from sl to nz who are clueless compared to quality players from sanga to pointing at there home So are they supposed to remain unbeaten , They won two champions trophies and won test series in SA. What did Dhoni win even with strongest Indian side which Ponting did not with his weakest Aussies teams other than WC. The same crappy SL side swept Aussies which makes India winning in SL under Virat much more memorable. Edited October 13, 2016 by putrevus maniac 1
velu Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 assuming this is a timepass thread by OP.. Dhoni is the only wicket keeping captain ever who bowled in a test match.. PS:- Interestingly this was the 2000th test match and what a way to insult this useless 5 day game Rasgulla 1

Anyone can accept losing when your team is weaker but gives valiant effort, the big problem would be when your captain wants to play safe even against far inferior teams also.

Couldn't even win the cup with one of the Best team of IPl since he was captain for 4 to 5 years. Ipl ka chockers tag mila usko. I am confident he ll lose it as captain in pressure situations even for India. confident? wow you still support team India right? Dhoni chamchas would wish for anything New guy and Rasgulla 1 1
