They have won us many games but I guess its time for them to make way for some better players. Mayank should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 What a player.i Caught on the inning and man...this was probably the best he has played. One of the greatest test innings. W/o doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 He would be missed. He was simply phenom compared to MSD in the tests. He and Ravi Bhai were awesome for Test cricket for India. Over to KL....hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 He had completely lost it by blaming tv broadcaster. Good that he stepped down. Hopefully KL or whoever succeeds him isn't as as him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harsh1387 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 What!!! I am shocked. All controversies aside he is the best test captain we ever had. It's clear there are many issues between him and Ganguly going on, hence his leaving test Captaincy. I feel he may even retire like this anytime because if he doesn't feel wanted and his passion for he game is reduced then what's the point. Worst part is we don't have a replacement. Rahul is pure simple words absolutely rubbish as Captain. Rahane should never play for India again. Pujara is end of his game too. Rohit is only logical choice but he is too injury prone and burden of 3 format Captaincy will kill his fitness and game. That leave only Pant who is guarantee in tests atleast. Now I am sure selector idiots will make Rahul as Captain. To say I am disappointed and angry with Kohli leaving Captaincy is an understatement. But, if it brings the Kohli of 2016 then we will take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banz Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Rahul doesn't inspire much confidence especially after his captaincy in the 2nd Test. Rahane didn't even lead the team then so management have moved on, and might be looking to drop him altogether now. What about Rohit? I don't know if he has much experience captaining FC teams, it won't be anything like leading a T20 side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentassassin Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Indian Cricket is in shambles i feel. Easily the best test captain we had. Gutted tbh Expected him to captain for few more years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Sad to see him going out like this but as they say sport is a great leveller. Virat wrote his own sporting obituary the day he went to BCCI and told them to remove Rohit as the VC of both odi and T20 after being 2-1 up in England.

Questionable fitness, age not on side and work load to lead India in 3 formats + IPL captaincy might be too much for anyone. No one in the current lineup has a fixed position in batting line-up to even lead the tem tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Kohli team selection might be questionable, but his test captaincy wasn’t. Phenomenal captain, though used to go overboard sometimes, last test as captain he would want to forget both for the result and his behaviour. Hope he gets back to scoring big as our batting looks fragile, no worthy replacement for captaincy in sight. I would like to go opposite to tide and how about making Jadeja the red ball captain, his place is sure, and he has always played with full commitment, Rahul is still not ready, forget captaincy, not even for opening.

KnackChap Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Jadeja is a good option. Dunno if he has any captaincy experience. Won't be surprised if CSK also make him captain this ipl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler shouldn't be captain in Indian set up. Pacers will get injured or rotated and miss matches, spinners won't be sure shot in SENA matches. For a period of 4-5 years atleast we need a batter to be captain. Only if Kohli had captained couple more years and Shreyas has played in those 2 years he could have been an excellent option. Now it's gonna be a sh*t show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeja is probably the best bat we have had for a long time now in tests, i call him a batting all rounder now then a balling all rounder, he walks into team before any other batsman in current form, including Kohli.

I think no one except Rohit, but Rohit should be kept away from red ball captaincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but jaddu is very injury prone since last 2 years. We need someone who is young and fit to lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Punjab captaincy is beyond terrible and even his place was not fixed in any format till recently. I think they'll make Rohit the stop gap captain and get some new players for rahane/pujara and then decide later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
