Twice in Cape Town if you consider that ODI which Deepak Chahar nearly pull it off for us.

Shikhar Dhawan to lead India in West Indies ODIs

Shikhar Dhawan to lead India in West Indies ODIs

Jadeja named vice-captain; Rohit, Kohli, Hardik, Bumrah, Pant and Shami rested for three-match series

I need to swear!

Sorry but what the actual F**** is going on here?

You discard Dhawan altogether,then bring him back as your 8th effing captain in as many series. To top it,Jadeja is the deputy. The very same Jadeja who couldn't handle the pressures of leading an IPL franchise may well become India's next captain here. (Given the injury toll, I wouldn't be surprised)

Now, why is Rohit not playing? Wasn't he announced as the captain earlier. Remember,he is supposed to be India's all format captain who hasn't led the country ever since his appointment. Why has he been rested here? If the series is deemed inconsequential,then pay the fine and don't send in a joke of a team.

Thirdly, might as well keep rotating coaches too. Let the captain also contend with a new coach every series. As it is, the likes of Sehwag, Nehra want to coach the side. Throw in some international names and you'll have a great variety to choose from, for the World Cup.

The Shikhar Dhawan appointment is a joke to be honest. I thought he wasn't even in the scheme of things - and rightly so.

It looks like people are being picked at random

What the actual fearsome tweak is going on with this team. Why the fearsome tweak Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah need rest after rest in freaking every series. Just tweaking drop both Kohli, Rohit and have them retire and we can be at peace. Pathetic! Done following Indian cricket.

Germany, I come for you now!

This is absolutely nuts

I have lost track of which format team is being led by whom. Dare I say - Almost missing Ravi Shastri? (typing that just made my fingers bleed)

 

[Targaryen]

Folks, chill.

We have a full time captain who has a certain record of winning consecutive matches. He is taking rest. He is resting now so that he can comeback later and win consecutive matches again.

Dhawan was never kept out of the scheme of things in ODIs. He hasn't missed a single series since January 2020. Now that's quite a long period!

To top it,Jadeja is the deputy. The very same Jadeja who couldn't handle the pressures of leading an IPL franchise may well become India's next captain here. (Given the injury toll, I wouldn't be surprised

Completely agree.

Now, why is Rohit not playing? Wasn't he announced as the captain earlier. Remember,he is supposed to be India's all format captain who hasn't led the country ever since his appointment.

He was appointed as the Captain in November 2021, since then he has led India in 9 T20Is, 3 ODIs & 2 Tests.

Why has he been rested here?

That's a valid question.

That is probably the 100th time you are saying this!

Well maybe this is the frustration because of a handful of Rohit Sharma fans on social media consistently talk about his winning streak (been tired of hearing it myself) that is been released over here.

But I don't think people care about it enough on this forum. They just needed a new Captain and that is why they rejoiced Rohit's appointment at first.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Rohit should be dropped just for being so unfit and missing every other series for some reason or another. And yet he is the all format captain

 

[abhi_jacko]

Not trying to start anything (ahem) but how many IPL matches has Rohit missed/skipped?

 

[Targaryen]

Hypocrisy: We can't have different captains for different formats. That won't work in India. So we are removing Virat from captaincy in limited overs and hand it over to Rohit.

Same BCCI has now used more number of captains in short period of time. Pant, Bumrah, Dhawan, Rohit, KLR, Hardik. Am I missing someone?
