Remove Kohli as Indian cricket team's captain and sack entire team of Ravi Shastri
Remove Kohli as Indian cricket team's captain and sack entire team of Ravi Shastri
The Issue
Virat Kohli has become the greatest choker of Indian cricket. His failures in crunch matches are monumental. He failed to perform on most crucial/knockout games and in some cases his lack of performances resulted in the loss.
He may have scored ton of centuries and runs, but his performance in the crunch games is utter failure. He has been the captain of RCB since epoch and not won a single trophy despite having the best players for most seasons. He has no ICC trophies under his belt. His X number of centuries are only of statistical interest.
He is not a leader. You don't become leader why abusing and foul mouthing opposition players.
Sourav Ganguly gave us a great team and great captain in Dhoni by the time he retired.There is continuity after he left.
Dhoni gave us extraordinary players by the time he retired.There is continuity after he left.
Virat killed the entire team with his selection, that we don't have a set team. Remember 2019 WC? We didn't had a team until semi-final.
HE GOTTA GO, along with the no good cheer leading coaching staff.
Batting failures - Few of the important ones
2011 - WC Quarterfinal against Australia
2011 - Semi-final against Pakistan
2015 - Quarter final against BD
2015 - Semi-final against Australia (resulted in Loss)
2017 - CT Final against Pakistan
2019 - Semi-final against NZ (resulted in Loss)
Sure he has performed very well in other matches, which are kind of pointless since they are not the big stages. And we don't even need to count his failures in the crucial test matches. The latest being the NZ series in 2020.
Captaincy (lack thereof)
Remember the non-sense he created during the 2017 coach selection? You have to blame the BCCI for encouraging this rubbish.
- His lack of strategy and creative thinking in crunch situations has cost us numerous matches.
- His selection of wrong bowlers for the pitch or match situation has cost us matches.
- He doesn't seem to assess the pitch and make the correct call at toss
- His behavior on the field is unbecoming of a professional sportsman. There is a line that you need to draw to consider it has being aggressive and passionate.
- There is no grooming for the next generation.
Favoritism
Just look at the team in ODIs and T20. Half of it is filled with discards of the RCB.
His love for the tall baller (who happens to be his chaddi baddi) is out in the open.
Coaching
The less we talk about them the better. There is no coaching. If there is, then you would see the improvement. We only play well on batting tracks or when there is not much help to spin or swing bowlers. This tells you that batsmen are lacking technique. The coaches are supposed to help.
The bowling coach is the worst guy. Match after match the bowlers make the same mistakes. There appears to be no plan or strategy.
Rain or shine, top order or tailender, our bowlers bowl the same scripted ineffective line/length. The opposition bowlers extract huge turn or swing or bounce, but our flashy players can't do any of it.
