Should Kohli be named captain of all the three formats?


Recommended Posts

All 3 formats plus IPL..Could be draining. Yes Dhoni did do it but doesn't mean everyone can. With the amount of energy Kohli spends on the field and off it.. will he be able to handle all the three formats? 

If no..Then who should captain the T20 side?

Rohit Sharma deserves LOI captaincy.

He is not fit enough for a captain since he keeps getting injured. We want someone who is regular in the team. Rohitnis regulsr but spends way too much time outside recovering.

 

I would pick Ashwin or Kohli.

 

For twenty20, I would give it to Jadeja or Ashwin. We any need any wya play one off twenty20 usually. Thsi time we got three. Why not try someone like Jadeja in twenty20.

If Kohli is given the option to choose (which is likely the case) he will probably go for all 3 given his aggressive attitude and wanna-be-the-boss nature (not saying that it is bad) . But is it ideal that Kohli gets all 3?

We should always have a separate captain for T20Is.....so that the test and ODI captain does not burn-out fast.

 

I want Kohli to be the captain in tests and  ODIs ....and someone else to be the captain in T20Is.

 

We should show long term planning with respect to captaincy.

By making kohli captain in all 3 formats we will only be creating another dhoni. Too much power on one person is not good. Also has the risk of draining kohli and as a result losing interest in the game very much like dhoni.

 

With so much cricket being played in these days different captains and different set of players  (around 70%) is the way forward.

I am usually against having the same captain in all three formats, but Kohli seems to relish captaincy, and perform even better as captain. It does not seem to stress him, but rather propels him even more. So yes, i do think Kohli would be fine captaining all formats. In any case if he is playing all formats, he will be the unofficial leader in all formats, whether or not he is the official leader. So why not just make him the official leader.

I think we do want to create another Dhoni. Dhoni won us the world cup. The problem was we did not move on from Dhoni in time, not that we created Dhoni.

Nah. His nature doesn't let him go Dhoni's way. He's a very honest person if we go by his media statements.

Dhoni literally aged 20 years after becoming captain

We went back in test from 2010, particularly overseas. We definitely do not want that. Virat is more focused on tests

Rohit as T20 captain makes sense.. He did a good job with Mumbai Indians.. 

But I'd like him to bat down the order in the T20 line up, and play the middle order + finisher role.. He's done well batting at 3/4 for MI

Different captains for different format does not work in Indian cricket. It has never been since Ganguly days where Indian captain is looked as the leader of the side who takes all important decisions (including players selection). He is someone whom players respect, obeys and listens. Unlike other teams, the job of Indian coach is pretty limited. Its the captain who is the main guy.Hope Kohli continues the same tradition and become the leader of Indian cricket team (irrespective of format). How he runs the team, what players he prefers & what is his strategy its all upto him.

 

Multiple captains is a modern day cricket gimmick and it never worked in Indian cricket. It didnt work when Kumble was our test skipper and MSD in LOIs. It didnt work when Kohli was our test skipper and MSD in LOIs. Atleast we knew those periods were temporary transitional shifts but giving someone a permanent captain job for a specific format? Big no no.

 

There should be only 1 leader in the pack and he is Indian cricket captain.

The thing is their is no BCCI president and board currently to call shots now. Who is going to make a call to appoint a captain ? I guess we all are missing this point.
