Dear Indian posters

Please don't shoot me down!
It's been ten years since India have won a ICC tournament. Nothing has worked in terms of captaincy whether it's Rohit or Kohli.

I want to ask my fellow Indian posters why not try Surya as the captain. He's fearless, selfless and an X factor in the team. Only with this responsibility he can thrive in the team. He has shown it in the IPL and some international matches how destructive he can be. Rohit Sharma played freely this WC and see how it played a pivotal role in India reaching the finals. Give Surya the captaincy and freedom at the top and I am sure he will cross the hurdle which Kohli or Rohit couldn't.

On what basis do you want him as captain?

His inclusion in the team itself is a major question mark considering the fact that he is aterrible batsman especially in ODIs.

People whose places are secure have gotten comfortable and aren't winning anything. India needs a shakeup. Surya is even more destructive than Rohit. He can play a similar yet even more instrumental role in CT 2025 .
 
SKY, I believe, is already set to captain India’s T20 side while Pandya is out though.

Don't think Rohit will budge for now
Yes he lost the biggest game of his life but 10 unbeaten is nothing to be sniffed at
 
SKY did well in T20 format.

But, has been a complete flop in ODI. He should definitely not play ODI.
 
India were timid in the field. Surya was batting way too down. Imagine Rohit opening with Surya. It would be totally opposite game. Surya has to be the captain. India has to go for a left field selection of captain as the usual tactics aren't working. Make Surya captain. Win CT2025. As Akshay Kumar says in Phir Hera pheri trophy hi trophy hogi..... . Imagine Surya vs Asif Ali in CT 2025. Battle of X'es
 
He struggles against quality bowling and on the biggest stages. Can only play T20s for now.

Not sure if I'd want a player like this to be a captain

He's class. I remember him coming in and smashing peak Shaheen for six over square leg when everyone was looking to defend. He can breathe a new life in this team at top just like M Harris did in last year's T20 WC.
 
Should not have a white ball captain. Split the captaincy.

Iyer as ODI captain where SKY has no future and maybe Gill as T20 captain.
 
The problem is that the system is too rotten for Rohit to be the captain.
 
Great captain, and you can see him trying to inject aggression at the top of the order and lead by example. But at 36 he will need to hand the captancy to someone else. Maybe KL or Pandya I think.
 
I believe OP made this thread as a means to vent his frustration at the removal of Babar’s captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team, and has chosen to particularly mimic my suggestion of making Asif Ali as the captain of Pakistan…which clearly hurt and insulted the sentiments of Babar+Rizwan fans. It is therefore necessary for me to clarify my initial stance for our Indian brothers (a lot who are highly sensible and intelligent cricket fans that understand the modern game).

It is indeed true that the suggestion of making Asif Ali as the captain of Pakistan’s T20 team was intended to be an insult at the large contingent of Pakistan fans at the time who couldn’t understand or see my POV that this Pakistan team isn’t playing for the crest on the shirt and rather for personal milestones+ making their agents and fan base happy. Pakistan was suffering because of selfish individuals at the helm of decision making, and this has continued to transpire to this day where the results are on display: Pakistan’s early and humiliating exit of the ICC 50 over World Cup.

At such a time, it was my intention to make the fans realise that Pakistan are better served to have a player (Asif Ali) who plays with the correct intention (doing whatever it takes) to bat for the team and not for his personal achievements. Asif Ali’s achievements to this date have been memorable wins for Pakistan at the most crucial/difficult times where the game was all but gone. So that was the intention of my suggestion, and the insult towards Babar Azam was part of it because the truth was not apparent to the Pakistan fans…and they are still in denial of it due to an arrogance that reflects Babar himself.

Now as for OP’s suggestion of making Surya captain of India’s ODI team…which isn’t in line with my suggestion of making Asif captain of the T20 team, further emphasis the huge intellectual deficiency we have witnessed in new age Pakistan cricket fans in the past 3-4 years.

If the OP suggests that Surya should become India’s T20 captain, well that’s actually a fine suggestion. There is no doubt that Surya is the best T20 batsman in the world unlike frauds that have occupied the number 1 spot before he took over and made that position his own with fabulous performances throughout the world and in world tournaments, against bowling of the highest quality as a part of this, with shots all around the park unlike some who can only play shots in one corner of the ground.

If OP intends to suggest Surya as the ODI captain of India (even as a joke), it reflects poorly on a person that struggles to come to terms with the reality of life and cricket, yet finds any way whatsoever to vent their frustration on the people that have always been honest about cricket…whether that honesty has been a harsh reality check for them.

If we do take the OP’s suggestion seriously by considering they are being genuine…it’s still not the worst suggestion if we compare this to the appointment of Babar Azam as a captain in cricket overall.

-Surya has a good education, sensible head on his shoulders
-Surya has put in all the hard yards in his domestic circuit and has built his reputation as a fine cricketer with excellent performances
-Surya has played white ball cricket with the best players in the world and under some of the finest cricketing brains in the world. His education in cricket far exceeds the education of Babar Azam, and he would indeed be a good candidate to make the right, correct decisions for his team and country….unlike Babar who can only make the decisions that suit him and not his country.

I would humbly suggest the OP to introspect and admit your failings and those who have been adamant to not accept the truth. Pakistan cricket has suffered massively because of the selfishness of individuals who didn’t have the best interest of the nation at heart, and they do not necessarily have to be tainted with match fixing or spot fixing allegations to be dishonest with Pakistan cricket.

OP can continue to take shots at those who were telling the truth in the past, and telling the truth even now…it still won’t change the fact that Pakistan have failed as a cricketing nation whereas India have been absolutely brilliant, just not getting the job done in the final hurdle.

Indian cricket is at least 20 years ahead of Pakistan cricket. We have to come to terms with reality.

"Asif Ali’s achievements to this date have been memorable wins for Pakistan at the most crucial/difficult times where the game was all but gone" : I think his most memorable achievement is that dropped catch of Warner which led to birth of a famous meme. Pakistan failing as cricketing nation has everything to do with failing as a nation which is happening now.

Why are the 4 semi-finalists some of the most stable countries in the world? Wasn't Srilanka winning titles till it was doing fine economically and politically? The point being Babar and Rizwan did fail in this WC but so have others before them. Pakistan cricket has been failing for last 20 years in World Cups. Pakistan cricket is behind the rest today due to the incompetence of the PCB. Pakistan cricket is suffering because some people sold out the country and you are saying they aren't selfish?

Babar is not the best captain fine but he's not the reason for our failing. He has put his blood sweat tears for this team. You know I used to have Amir's picture as my profile picture here on PP before. But I lost all respect for him after he deserted his country again. You cannot decide to be the jury yourself and decide what you say is truth. Babar is down but not out. His time will come and I will be standing here that time.

You cant blame Rohit for the loss, he was so good the whole tournament. Even yesterday he gave them a great start. Its the way he decided to play which is attacking. You got to respect that. Its more players like Gill, Shreyas and Rahul who really bottled it.

Winning trophy is a team event, not an individual exhibition.

Ahmed Shehzad and Shahzaib Hasan have won a T20 World Cup but Kohli hasn’t.

SKY has been insane in this format.

Rohit handled captaincy brilliantly right through the WC. But is he in the plans of India 3 or 4 years from now? He is 36 and not as fit as Kohli to carry on longer.
Rohit can play Test cricket for another 2 or 3 years and must be phased out of LOI squad. He has been a great servant and a legend of Indian cricket.

Almost certain he'll be too old by 2027. He can go until the '25 CT at least.

Give it a rest.

India lost the WC, get over it, no need to keep dragging Pakistan, or Babar into your post WC humiliation (you tried in the commentary thread but failed), especially since Babar is no longer Pakistan captain hence your comparisons of Babar the captain vs. SKY are sheer LOL!
 
How can anyone advocate for SKY's ODI captaincy? I am shocked to see this thread.

He averages 25.76 after 37 ODIs. 4 half-centuries and no century.
 
Imagine, the mighty BCCI actually announce the player that you are trying to ridicule as the T20i captain

More pain. More defeat :ROFLMAO:

Imagine the player that you mock actually becomes the captain of a significantly stronger side than the one you support. This is a defeat of epic proportions.

Oh well, whether you accept it or not…it won’t change the fact that Suryakumar is going to lead India…and Babar will not lead Pakistan.

He's a stop gap option as a lot of the regulars are rested.. long term option should be shreyas iyer. Pandya too fragile like Shaheen to be a long term option. Guess it's time to bash the 2nd string Aus bowlers , make the WC final memories go away and qualify for t20 WC sf and hope ind goes to final and then win it...😂
 
I agree with OP

Just like India have identified a good T20 cricketer who plays with the right intentions for his country in SKY to lead the side

I would also like Pakistan to consider Asif Ali in the absence of Shaheen. I would never, ever trust Babar or Rizwan with the leadership of Pakistan considering how poor they are generally as T20 openers and how selfish they are.
 
Suryakumar Yadav is a fantastic T20 player, but he is definitely not a mega-event player.

Let's see how it goes for him as T20I Captain.


20231123_163003.jpg
 
No one can play these difficult shots that's easily.

First fifty for Suryakumar Yadav as T20I Captain in 1st T20I vs Australia.

He has scored brilliant 80 off 42 , 4 sixes and 9 fours. SR 190.47

So good to watch. Fine innings of 80 off 42 balls.

Deserves to be number 1 T20I player in the world.

I would swap Pakistan's top 3 batsmen in T20Is for this guy.
 
Making a choker like SKY captain is a mistake, rather Shubman Gill or Jadeja should be given the job. SkY failed miserably in the final and here is Making merry in a fazool game

@Gullycricket another good suggestion for your liking might also be Ajinkya Rahane as T20i captain and opener

He can bat long. Regularly score 50s off 40 balls. Great leadership potential like Babar’s

So suggest him. Very similar player to Babar with his style of play and strike rate.

Surya is out of your scope of cricket reading my friend.

He would be a good option but age is not on his side. But India already has Iyer or Kishan. Rahane is a free flowing player

Unfortunately, every player that has represented India at some point makes a better candidate than Pakistan’s previous captain doesn’t it?
 
Let this be a lesson to anyone who wants to disrespect great players.

It will only come back to haunt you.
 
So after doing jack all throughout the WC, our braveheart now finally plays a substantial innings in yesterday's T20 match. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
"Luggage Of Captaincy...": Suryakumar Yadav's No Non-Sense Take After Win Over Australia

Suryakumar Yadav will take some time before he can let the heady feeling of being the India captain sink in but when he is out there with the willow, he believes in keeping the baggage of leadership in the dressing room. Surya made his senior India captaincy debut with a two-wicket victory over Australia in the first T20 International in Vishakhapatnam on Thursday and also headlined the 209-run chase with a superb 80 off 42 balls.

"I think it's a proud moment, whenever you play cricket, you think of representing India, it will take some time to sink in but very proud," Surya said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

"I left the (captaincy) luggage in the dressing room. I just tried to enjoy my batting, whether I am batting 10 or 40 balls," said Surya when asked how to compartmentalise batting and leadership.

Rinku Singh, all of six T20Is 'old' scored 22 not out off 14 balls and finished the game when it was just slipping out of hand.

"The way the boys kept their nerve was great to see. It was a tailor-made situation for Rinku. His composure relaxed me also," Surya said.

He also didn't forget to mention Mukesh Kumar's final over in the Australian innings that cost just five runs where the Bengal speedster nailed the yorker repeatedly.

"It was huge," the skipper said about Mukesh.

"The way all three fast bowlers pulled us back into the game after 16 overs. Incredible achievement." In fact, with no dew, chasing could have been tricky but it wasn't, conceded Surya.

"Thought there will be a little bit of dew but there wasn't. It isn't a big ground and I knew batting will get easy. Thought they might get 230-235 but the bowlers did really well," the skipper seemed satisfied.

He and Ishan Kishan joined forces at 22 for two and both have encountered such situations numerous times for Mumbai Indians.

"We just wanted to be positive. Just enjoy and express ourselves. I told Kishan one thing, just keep batting, don't think of the target. After 10 overs, it was a tailor-made situation. 100 off 60 balls happens every second day in IPL," he said.

Suryakumar in his debut match as a captain has done exceptionally well. Need to see if he can handle the pressure in the next games as well while keeping his own performance as a t20 batter up to the mark.

Dear Indian posters

Please don't shoot me down!
It's been ten years since India have won a ICC tournament. Nothing has worked in terms of captaincy whether it's Rohit or Kohli.

I want to ask my fellow Indian posters why not try Surya as the captain. He's fearless, selfless and an X factor in the team. Only with this responsibility he can thrive in the team. He has shown it in the IPL and some international matches how destructive he can be. Rohit Sharma played freely this WC and see how it played a pivotal role in India reaching the finals. Give Surya the captaincy and freedom at the top and I am sure he will cross the hurdle which Kohli or Rohit couldn't.

Well yes, his positive and aggressive playingstyle make him a good fit for captaincy. Besides dhoni got the captaincy at almost the same age in his career. And about Gaikwad, he just appears like another ordinary option for captaincy. No offence

But with Gaikwad I think they can replicate the vision they had behind Kohli’s captaincy, a safe batsman for all 3 formats. This is what Pakistan did when electing Babar as captain.

How’s that working out for Babar n his team?
I think it’s better to keep specialist for each format. Gaikwad cannot replace Gill / Ishan combo in ODI.
It’s going to become touch when Pant also returns about captaincy.
 
Sky or iyer should be the captaincy options.. Gaikward should be no where near t20s.. Will be a good odi and test batsman. T20 should have all aggressive batsmen no tuk tuk guys- ishan jaiswal Tilak rinku iyer sky Pandya should be the batting core ...

I think Gaikwad would be a great, safe option.

At least he can gaurentee a nice 35-40 ball 50, and lead from the front. He is a nice person who will get lots of respect from the opposition and world media too.
 
India pacer Prasidh Krishna has credited stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav for having a strong impact during his side's excellent start to the ongoing T20I series against Australia.

Krishna picked up three valuable wickets as India registered a second consecutive triumph over Australia in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, with the hosts now holding a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series ahead of next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

While Suryakumar managed just 19 runs with the bat during India's 44-run victory, Krishna believes the No.1 ranked T20I batter in the world is having an even greater impact while filling in for regular captain Rohit Sharma.

"I think it shows in the way he (Suryakumar) bats is very similar in his captaincy as well," Krishna noted.

"He trusts his players, backs all of us to do what we want to do and he's there right behind us to support if there's anything going wrong.

"That's been the name of the game and then that's the word around freedom, go and execute your plans out there and everyone trusts each other in the team."

With Suryakumar dismissed cheaply in the second T20I, it was left to the next brigade of India's batters to impress and half-centuries to Ruturaj Gaikwad (58), Yashasvi Jaiswal (53) and Ishan Kishan (52) helped the hosts post a big total of 235/4 from their allotted overs.

Ravi Bishnoi (3/32) and Krishna (3/41) made inroads with the new ball to help restrict Australia and star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was unable to match his heroics from the recent ICC Men's Cricket World Cup as the Aussies fell well short in reply.

Krishna admitted it was difficult for the bowling group to adjust to the dew that descended on Greenfield Stadium late in the match, but said he picked up some valuable lessons from being part of India's squad during the World Cup.

"Being a part of the World Cup squad was massive learning for me,” Krishna said.

"That's the biggest learning curve I've had since I've been a part of the team.

"I got to learn a lot the way people prepare the amount of information that you can take, looking at the surface, the situation, the condition, the batsman and all of those things."

The third match of the T20I series between India and Australia is in Guwahati on Tuesday.

I think Gaikwad would be a great, safe option.

At least he can gaurentee a nice 35-40 ball 50, and lead from the front. He is a nice person who will get lots of respect from the opposition and world media too.

Well not sure who you are referring to lol 😂 but the safe options will always tuk tuk and cost ko or crunch games.. as Rameez says it's in their DNA!
 
The way SKY has led this Indian unit is quite impressive. His own performance is also top notch and it is never easy for a new captain to out perform the opposition in his debut series. But my question is, India is planning for him to be the future captain permanently or he is just replacing Hardik and Rohit due to their absences?
