Who do you think would be the captain of KXIP and KKR in the upcoming IPL 2018?
Punjab :I feel most probably it would be aron finch who will captain the punjab this season. There are other options too in the name of yuvraj , Rahul , miller , aswin .But yuvraj , miller had a poor season as a captain for the Punjab in past , especially Captaincy affected the latter to a greater extent which forced management to make vijay as captain . Other option Rahul , who is a very young player and don't have experience as a captain in domestic side too . Also him being the only keeper in the side , the Captaincy will add more burden to him . Aswin had experience of leading domestic side in a successful way , but Captaincy gives him a luxury to play in all matches eventhough he couldn't perform well . Also he was out of form from limited overs circuit from long term . It might hinder his chances of Playing as a captain.Finch being captain of one of the BIg bash team, also captained pune warriors which might give him a chance to captain the team and he has good returns too . Either finch or aswin are likely to captain the punjab team this season.Kolkata :Kolkata had two options uthappa , Karthik . Rest of the squad are not regulars of team or lacks experience as a captain.Karthik captained for his domestic side tamilnadu for good amount of time and tasted good success , even he captained for delhi Dare devils in past for couple of matches . He might be the front runner of the Captaincy .Uthappa too had a chance of leading the team because he is been with kkr from past 4–5 seasons and knows management very well , this might allow him to lead the team .but he lacks experience and never captained any domestic team or ipl team .most likely it would be Karthik who will lead the kkr this season . Uthappa was the another potential contender
Why Indian team was choker under Ganguly's captaincy while playing finals of tournaments?
I'm done with this debate. You can't do much when someone's closing his years and shouting his own,. and writing an essay again isn't worth it. Ganguly taught India how to go for a win? Okay, Dhoni taught them how to beat the champions, be the champion, win matches out of nowhere like the CT final, make comebacks like the WC 2011 and so many matches, how to pull out of a tight situation and win most of the matches that gets close. But one thing what Dhoni taught us what may well be overlooked by people other than genuine cricket fans, which may well change our future. That is the importance of fieliding. And we saw that in the CT. Dhoni taught us that winning matches isn't all about being aggressive, he taught us that you may not be a star to win matches for your nation. If Ganguly taught us how to dream, Dhoni taught us how to.turn them into reality. If dropping out.of form stars is selfishness, yes he is selfish. If supporting youngsters like Kohli, Jadeja, Raina, Yadav, Ashwin, the future stars is selfishness, yes he is selfish. If having an average of 50+ @ a SR of 85+ is selfishness, he is selfish. Dhoni is India's best ever middle order batsman, Sachin is the best ever top order batsman. Ganguly supported stars like Yuvraj, Zaheer Khan, Bhajji, Sehwag? Well, they made their comebacks under Dhoni. You must credit their coaches for their talent, and Dhoni for a second.opportunity. And you never know, the current.pool.of.youngsters may well be the future stars. You saw the previous two matches, India's coordination in the field wasn't that good. Anyways, if just teaching your team to dream makes you the best captain ever, then Ganguly is the best captain, but remember, fulfilling them is more important. A building just with a strong base is useless. And last but not the least, Dhoni himself built our current team.
DEBATE on who is the greatest Indian captain ever:Dhoni or Ganguly?
MBIOF I easily have answer to all your questions. 1.Why ganguly failed to win world cups? Lol ,in how many world cups did Dhoni captain?answer is 5 so far.And in how many world cups did ganguly lead the team as captain?answer is only 1 & he took the team to finals in that after 20 long years,& as I said that World Cup was in RSA(not favourable conditions for India). 2.Why ganguly failed to make India no.1 in tests & ODIs? Again u can read this in answers of class of jaguar or desiboy,India were #8 when ganguly became captain,he took them till #2.When Dhoni becomes captain India were already #2,he takes them till #1 but those whitewashes against oz & eng bring them down to #5. And as far as u saying that ganguly team had great players,no that's totally false.Again read desiboy answer,dravid & Laxman had done nothing of note before he became captain(compare their average before he become captain & after he become captain),& Sachin too was in lean patch.He installed aggressive atti
Which is the best team in IPL history?
The best team in IPL, like most of us have to say is CSK.The Yellow team in IPL, and like the other team in World Cricket, they too dominated the IPL like the other one did in the world.The team has the biggest fan base in India. Just look at this picture when the franchise were in the league,The reason behind this big fan base goes to the one man who remained their captain for all seasons - Mahendra Singh Dhoni.Time for some statistical looks:They have qualified for the next stage in all seasons they played. (3 SFs + 5 Play-offs)They have won the league twice, joint most for any team. But the special point to be noted is they are the only team in IPL history to defend their crown.They have most win percentage in the statistics of IPL for teams - 67.18 %, and they have more than 50% winning percentage almost against all teams (Mumbai Indians exempted, they faced them more times than anyone (22)).In the Champions League also, they were successful, having won the league twice, joint most for any team and they had a win percentage of 60%.How were they much successful?One main reason, behind this success rate would be the players they retained and the players they bought back during the auctions and looked that the core of the squad was maintained,THE PERFECT BLUE-PRINT FOR THE PERFECT DHONI EXECUTIONas we know that MS Dhoni doesn’t like to make much changes to his squad, and would like to play with the same XI for most of the matches.Banned for 2 years:They were banned for 2 years following one of their co-owners Gurunath Meiyappan was found indulging in betting during the tournament.Return in IPL 2018:When they come back in IPL 2018, it would be one of the best moments to look out for, and predicting that the first CSK match of IPL 2018, would go housefull, and it would go even high when Dhoni gets to continue to play for the franchise.And much like the Chennaites, there are some outer-state fans who are waiting for CSK to return to IPL and Dhoni back in the yellow jersey leading them.UpdateChennai super kings won 2018 IPL with a successful chase. This is the third time csk wining the league.
Do you think K. L. Rahul will be the future captain of India after around 6 or 7 years?
Next 6 or 7 years, NO!KL Rahul has higher chances of being a vice captain alongside Kohli and may also captain team india under his absence but he won’t be given an independent charge of team India for the following reasons:-He is currently 24 years old and therefore in the next 6 to 7 years, he would most probably be the senior member of the team and therefore his chances of being selected as a captain goes down because BCCI prefers a young captain leading the team under the guidance of senior players.By the time Kohli is at his verge of his retirement, young players like Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Unmukt Chand, Rishabh Pant or Sarfaraz khan would be given the charge of he indian squad so that they can lead the team to quite a good extent.Below are the glimpses of the players who may succeed Kohli in the near future:-Unmukt ChandRishabh PantIshan KishanShreyas IyerSarfaraz Khan
Who will be the future captain of the Indian Cricket Team after MSD?
I am sure we are not talking about this captaincy shift for at least next 3 years or so. But yes this question rides on very high bucks that who will captain India once Dhoni retires. Its not going to be easy to carry on the legacy of Dhoni.We are lucky to have a few options. I would like to discuss a few of them.1) Virat Kohli-:This is an obvious name which comes first on your mind talking about the captaincy if Indian team. Having been the captain of Under 19 world cup team and then Banglore's in IPL 6, we can assume him to have a li'l bit of experience at the international level. We all know his aggressive approach to the game that emphasize his position as captain even more. He has been one of the most consistent batsmen of India in last few years or so after MS Dhoni. His records speak for himself, boasting an average of 49+ in ODIs and 13 hundreds then when he his at the start of his career shows the talent and potential this hard hitting batsman possess. Though he gets a little worked up at times but i guess once you get to captain a big side like that of India, these things are automatically understood by you and you tend to become more calm.2) Ravichandran Ashwin-: Many people might argue on this name. But having him seen in the Tests, ODIs and IPL, this man's strength lies in the composure he possess throughout the match. He has a cool head like MSD and rarely you see him getting worked up. Also India haven't had a bowling captain for quite some time. This man could just help you deliver that. We couldn't ignore his batting as well. He has a decent batting technique and boasts a Test hundred against his name.Here are a few facts for you-:An opener with the bat before he took up offspin, Ashwin is more than a handy lower-order batsman: he is correct, has the shots and scored a century in his first Test series. He registered 9 5-wicket hauls in his first 15 test matches.3)Rohit Sharma-: He his one of the batsman who i might call it unlucky in the sense that he could not make most of the opportunities he got at the international level but we all know the talent he possess. Many cricket pundits started terming him as the next Sachin Tendulkar seeing his batting style. We saw him captain the MI side in IPL 6 and led the team to victory. If he could get more consistent with his batting he could be a great option for the captain of the Indian cricket team.
