Bumrah , shreyas Iyer .

For now, Rohit could lead for some time,as kumble did in 2008. 

Also ,i don't feel Kohli was a natural leader. He was a top batsman ( not sure if he is now ), but not a good leader.

Kohli was never a better tactician but a leader who showed intensity to win. As a captain he suffered from short term memory loss because he changed and chopped the 11 every now and then. Never backed a player. Preferring Shankar over Rayudu. Then no signs of KulCha after 2019 WC. Ignored Bhuvi in tests.

Even in tests we don’t have settled opening pair. 

In the recent past I think atleast 6-7 combinations have been tried.

Bhai Vijay Shankar "3-D Player" is one of the biggest scams of Indian cricket. Avg speed in bowling, zero hitting capability.
Atleast Rayudu WC19 mein no.4 ko settle toh kr deta.

Perhaps one day we will have a Marxist interpretation of the commercialization of cricket. Means of production are being owned by the White ball bourgeoisie while the RED proletariat suffers negative antagonism in this moving force of cricketing history. 😀😀😀😀

Hey guys! People who have given mains before, what do you think about these analysis by vision ias? I have watched them before but I hadn’t written mains last year.. so I liked their in depth Solutions etc. 

but this time it’s giving me anxiety…. I know obviously they didn’t prepare the answers in 3 hours, exam situation but … can anyone tell me roughly.. what % of content/answers should match with their analysis to feel content (to whatever extent possible) ? I hope you all understand what I’m trying to say/ask..

Also watched a complete ODI game after ages and guess what…we didn’t even win 🥲

Lol. Same.
What has happened to middle order !!!
Keeps collapsing


Idk man 😭😭 its all over 90s again

Koi counter attack krne wala hi nhi h. Sudden 2 wickets nd ye rone lgte h. 

Perhaps for the first time,Koi stable middle order hi nhi h. Har series m naye log utha k le aate h middle order k liye.

My take - India's top3 has been so dominant since 2015 that nobody has been able to settle down in that role since. And we had Dhoni holding up a position till 2019. 

Maybe. But then Indian batting has always been top heavy. Sachin Ganguly, Sachin Sehwag, Sehwag gambhir . 

Even in 2011 wc ,our top order was in great form but against australia n srilanka,our middle n lower order had  saved us .

@Duryodhan The similarity between Tendulkar, kohli and kl is they are fantastic as batsman but utterly incompetent as captain. Infact i very strongly feel it was wrong to naturally bring kohli as captain after dhoni when rohit as a senior player was there. Atleast some testing must have been done. This mr virat "captain by chance" kohli and his alcohol loving friend shastri have ruined India's records in international cricket no doubt as seen from this leadership's failure in bagging any championship success at international level.  Infact like shastri,kohli must also be given some rest, he is " surplus" in a team filled with real talent.


Tendulkar wasn't arrogant bhai.  Left captaincy at the right time.  

Also , please kl ko iss category m mat rakho. As I said uski toh jagah bhi fix nhi thi kuch time pehle Tak. 😂😂

The Indian team management is all about getting half-baked players in the team...back in 2005..if a player had under-performed..his 2007 world cup chances would had been cut.

But now what I see is pure contractualisation. All they play for $$$. They sacrifice their bodies for IPL. Kohli has lost his flicks because of the injuries he has sustained. 

Now Ipl-accha-hai support brigade will attack me, saying that "iPl hAs GiVeN us ManY gUd plAyerz".

this is precisely the problem, many good players but NOT ONE great player since 2015 WC. Since 2019 WC there have been so many players like Shankar, Shardul, Shivam Dubey,blah blah.

The board now wants to select a Bunch of players with some fixed seniors to win small matches but no big tournament.

Dhoni inspired through his demeanor, Kohli through his aggression but KL Rahul seems absent on the field..just like a Yogi watching the play from some distance.. His Kxip captaincy is also on stake.

A day will come, dear Guys and Gals, that IPL will be organised in parallel with World Cup. That day will come.

"Lack of captaincy record or nous no barrier as marketability is crucial factor now"


I doubt if bcci will handover test captaincy to kl Rahul. Let's see .

well he built the team in his own image and I feel there is a lack of natural leadership after him. I’m not sure KL Rahul will be that indispensable player himself who will be the long term leader. Like when Dhoni was getting old we all could see the natural leader emerging in Virat…now there is a massive vacuum. I think we as Indian fans should expect a period of slump before things fully settle

"natural leader" my foot.  Infact india is suffering from natural leadership deficit since dhoni because kohli himself is as incompetent a captain as a man can be, and even worse as a leader. when will you come out of this GREAT KOHLIAN ILLUSIONARY SPHERE mate. The records in international championship are in front of you. This BHAKTI in cricket has to stop.

@krishna96 hahah 2-3 people have assumed I’m a brother hahaha, it’s sister :p

and yeah you’re right, I’m trying to chill but it’s really stressful. Like just watched Paper 2 ka for few mins, they said you ‘should’ mention section 6 of DPSE act in the CBI question to get marks.
now I’m wondering if I’m the only one who didn’t know about that?

Rohit was having below par career and was not a team regular till 2013 champions trophy. At that time Kohli appeared to be a natural choice for captain. 

He has a stellar record as a captain and a player but the issue is he did not focus on nurturing players. Thus the chaos which we are witnessing today.

India has actually come a long way under Kohli, especially in tests. Even in white ball cricket the team has done extremely well. Not winning a trophy sucks obviously but that can't be your only criteria to judge someone's tenure.

Test Series Wins in Australia and England are not lesser achievements

"He has a stellar record as a captain". brother look just like your success is established not by stellar record in mock test but actual exam, stellar record is established not by "do takke ki bilateral series" but by success in international series. how much did India win under his captaincy, huh. i can see a bhakt in you who can't criticize his God despite knowing the truth
