In March, asked about Ashwin’s T20 future, Kohli had snapped: “The question has to have logic.” Months later, Ashwin is in the team. Once again, it got labelled as outside noise. When Rohit played the IPL 2020 final in a cloud of injury, much angst swirled from “team management sources”. Kohli, of course, later rubbished it as “outside noise”. The churlish whispers about intent of batsmen after losing the WTC final to New Zealand had stemmed from the captain himself. Insecurity has rarely been drip-irrigated like this before, perhaps. No senior has been sure of his place in the side, rarely has there been a captaincy contender. Virtually every player to play under Kohli has been dropped from the playing XI at least once. Historically, all successful sporting teams have a core group of regulars, but not this one. Add the 2011 World Cup and 2007 WorldT20 to his name and Captain Cool’s cricketing Grand Slam is complete. India’s last big white-ball triumph was in 2013, when Dhoni lifted the Champions Trophy. His sparkling CV makes him the most suited for the job.
Dhoni, for all practical purposes, is a captaincy coach. Too unconventional to be a batting guru, way too important to be drafted as a mere wicket-keeping coach, the country’s most-decorated white-ball captain ever is to hand-hold Kohli, help him win his first ICC Cup. Going by the word on the Indian cricket circuit, the one-time crisis manager of Indian cricket is an “officer on a very specific duty”. (File/AP)īefore answering the question, a look at Dhoni’s role. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be playing at the upcoming T20 World Cup. So will Rohit replace Virat in case India fails to win the World T20? Like most things in the ever-changing BCCI dynamics, this is a multiple-choice question with Yes, No, Maybe options. Moreover, Mumbai Indians’ overwhelming superiority over Royal Challengers Bangalore is a trivia that can tempt the BCCI to look beyond Kohli. His enhanced stature was underlined by his prominent role in negotiations with the board over the cancellation of the Manchester Test. On this England tour, Rohit Sharma’s success as a Test opener embellished his image as an all-format, all-condition player. Plus, unlike in the past, India now has an alternative captain with worthy credentials. The contract of head coach Ravi Shastri and his support staff ends after the World T20 and it’s unlikely to be renewed. The same was confirmed after the social media handles of the hospital shared those pictures.The scanner on Kohli the captain comes when the India team is witnessing a churn. It is being learned that the 40-year-old paid a visit to the doctors and frontline nurses at a hospital in Dubai and also clicked a few pictures with them. Ahead of the competition's resumption in September, Dhoni was spotted in Dubai with his wife.
The tournament has now been relocated to the United Arab Emirates. This year, though, Chennai were looking like the team fans were used to watching and were placed second in the points table with five wins from 7 matches when the tournament had to be suspended after multiple coronavirus cases emerged inside the bio-secure bubbles. MS boasts of a splendid record as a leader even in the IPL but failed to lead the Men in Yellow to the Playoffs for the first and only time last season. The picture though seems to be an old one as it addresses Dhoni as the current India captain.Īlthough he announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020, Mahi continues to lead his franchise Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.
The introduction goes on to tell the basic details of the cricketer while the lesson begins from his cricketing achievements.
Although there have been many tributes from fans and even experts and fellow cricketers, a picture doing the rounds on internet shows the Chapter 7 of a textbook- which happens to be Dhoni's iconic jersey number- based on the player's life.
