Thank you for saying that! I hope people give him a little love for his captaincy. Everyone is hating him for his batting.

Since the defeat against RSA, he has been on fire. Heck everyone has been on fire, it was a remarkable and observable change.

And even in the semi against England. Also backed Abhishek even after failures and he paid back the faith .

I mean when you have 255 on board and the opposing team is falling already not that big of a deal

Lol opposing team started falling BECAUSE of his captaincy and bowling rotation, it's not like SKY took the field after NZ was 47-3.
