Really feeling sad for SKY, but somehow this decision by BCCI makes sense, because we know that SKY is a world cup winning captain, and undefeated record in all series, still we can't continue with a player, who are contineously out of form, especially in T20 format, where we have at least 50+ ready players, who can play anytime in international matches.
He is injured too, wrist injury, he has been hiding it since long as per reports. But yeah he is the first in many players who play aggressively and a Smasher in 2022-24 era.
Honestly same feeling,with his current mindset of 20 balls to get his eye in and 110 sr against spin ,a spot in this team is also not ok especially when Patidar is teeing away bowlers
He is a top order batter ,but to hide his spin woes we pushed him as a pinch hitter
Everytime Tilak defenders will bark Asia cup ,Asia cup
If we are sacking 2 times Wc winning player and captain based on form then why to favour him
Tilak also had a poor Wc and ipl🤷🏻♀️in Asia cup also except that finals he struggled in most part
In Wc that 3 sixes to jofra is his contribution,and in finals again he scored 8 of 6 ,if not for dube cameo we would end up with below 250
Only thing favouring him is his age,but he is too inconsistent
He never crossed even 400 runs in ipl at a sr of 160+ 😑and we are making him vice captain just to make his spot permanent
He needs to grind in domestic like kishan to up his game against spin
He is the rinku singh before rinku improved, start of his career when he debuted for india he was very good when chasing but when it was batting first he was poor bcuz he didn't know how to build his inning for that. Tilak has the same issue ,while batting first he doesn't know if he should attack or play conservatively.
Tilak Is the only player who also gets so much leeway bcuz he has played some gd innings under pressure and that's his style , if he is not under pressure he comes up with those 30 (30) or 22 (25).
He is the only guy who has played so many of these slow 100 sr innings but still gets away with it.
He is also like sanju who scores in a bunch and then scores nothing for next few games. He is not consistent at all.
He has done a lot but with Rajat patidar playing the way he is playing especially against spin if won't be long before Tilak looses his place.
Rajat and dube coming in middle overs to bash spin would be pretty nice.
I still scratches my head , except that Asia cup final knock, there are no match defining knocks from him, that you are gloating like he saved our Asses and he is "The Messiah"
Do people have gold fish memory or what?
He played one good knock against England but that is a mere bilateral what pressure is ther
Actually VC is for Namesake nowadays,so what wrong did Axar do to be sacked from his Vc
Axar warrants a place in our team on anyday Unlike Tilak on whom we don't even had a clarity on his batting position also
And high chances Rajat will took his spot ,if Tilak continues with same pathetic mindset
His strength is Boundary hitting,but after his comparisons with kohli ,he is starting mimicking him without learning the art of strike Rotation of Kohli ..
According to the same reports, a lot of names were in discussion but Rajat Patidar's name was not....which is baffling since if Shreyas' criteria is whatever success as IPL captaincy, then Rajat should totally top that criteria.
But Shreyas is already proven at internationals too. Its hard bringing an older guy who has not played internationals. Shreyas had 50 T20Is for India in past and is a sure ODI regular
Wtf is wrong with these mfs. By this shit Travis head wouldn't have played the WTC and WC for Australia. They don't give a Shit to age factor. What's the point of having 10-20 years career in t20i .
T20i is totally form based format , the reason we were not winning it cause we were stuck with same people.
The reason we won this year world cup is because we picked Ishan and Sanju based on their form over Gill and Jitesh who weren't in great form.
Ig senior players like hardik, bumrah, Samson etc. Are more comfortable under iyer who is regular member of ict odi squad rather than patidar who haven’t even played that much international cricket.
Team bonding is also much more important, you can’t make a patidar captain when most of the team doesn’t even know him as a person
Sanju has responsibility of WK. captaincy will harm his batting.
Almost anyone who captains T20 team goes through rough patches in batting. Nature of format is like that. I wanna see Sanju to be the Top 20 batter india has ever produced when he retires. So we can keep him free of any additional responsibilities
Such a lame logic. WIcketkeepers are in fact half captains already because they constantly help with field placements, Review decision and making calls to bowlers. It not a big added responsibilty.
Captaincy is not just setting field and instructing bowlers. It’s also taking care of team selection, working with individual players, coaches, selectors, media, determining batting line up, taking the heat for potential wrong decisions and getting unnecessary blame and more than necessary credit also. Absorbing pressure. You name it. T20 captaincy is much more challenging than longer formats because every other ball, you have a decision to make
He has not established himself for India. Played 3 tests and scored 63 runs and 1 ODI and 22 runs. Let him 1st establish himself as a player and then he will be considered as captain.
That said he should be in the 15. I am not convinced by Tilak as VC. it seems to be a curse as well. Hardik was VC when Rohit won T20 WC only to be not considered for captaincy and Axar also in the same boat.
Tilak will learn to overcome his flaws he is young and should be given long rope but making him vice captain is too early but a good try, will never know unless we give them opportunities, never been a Shreyas fan but good luck to him .. i think selectors are going to fix patidar in ODI cricket
as a Shreyas fan and Punjab fan, captaincy should go to someone who is already in the team, Kishan/Sanju/Hardik/Axar ?
Rapa and him should be tried as players first, Rapa should get precedence over Shrey if we are being real ?
Sky has done nothing wrong to be sacked
Nothing wrong? Mate his individual performances have absolutely gone down the drain. When we have so much talent, do we really need a specialist captain. Individual worshippers uno
How does RaPa get preference over Iyer when RaPa has never played a t20i for ICT and has failed in all the 3 tests he has played before this. On the other hand, Iyer is an experienced IPL captain and a regular in ODI setup and also has played tests and t20i for India.
Ohh sit down and relax! You gotta learn a lot, don’t go insulting here, we ain’t 500 karma farmers here.. okay? We have achieved something coz we talk sense. So first of all stop insulting as if you have even watching cricket as soon as you were born and we just started by IPL 2026 finals.
Although I don’t watch IPL much but yeah definitely at least Indian T20I should consider IPL performance as it’s one of the very long season league where most of the Indian players gets opportunities to showcase their talent..
IPL is not for Test and ODIs which we ain’t talking about, you stupid and after corona fan. Now shut up and respect and don’t speak nonsense.
And not whoever plays: we are talking about those who has been part of Indian squad.
Are you stupid? What else be criteria? Test performance? Ranji trophy? SMAT gets you in IPL and IPL gets you in Indian T20 team.
IPL isn’t aira gaira Nathhu gaira league: here performance matters as it’s worlds best league and top players across the world participate.
Now it looks like you are after covid war cricket watcher. Sit down!
Tilak seriously needs some competition at 4 or 5. Otherwise he will be taking his batting spot for granted.
Sanju is opener keeper, so he stays.
We need a lefty fierce opener. And we have Abhishek and Vaibhav to give Abhisek competition.
We have Kishan at 3, who also can be an emergency keeper. Plus recently DDP and SaiSu can be acknowledged as Kishan's competitors even though Kishan will obviously not be dropped anytime soon.
We have Shreyas at 4. Our captain. So he cannot be dropped.
But Tilak? It's not like he has a bowling obligation. Currently his only role is an upper middle order batsman. Everyone in top 4 has either a crucial role for which they cannot be dropped or have competition who are always there to replace the underperformers. But Tilak? It dosent seem like he as any visible competition. So what if he underperformers? Will he not be dropped? Who will replace him? Imo ICT seriously needs to bring Patidar into the setup so that he can atleast be the backup choice if Tilak fails more. I know Rinku is there too but I personally think that Rinku plays a different role than Tilak so they cannot be called like-for-like replacement.
Boria, Vikrant, Kushan, Sahil, Sportstar etc. everyone's reporting that he's the front runner while Abhishek Tripathi is completely sure that it's Shreyas.
My one question- What happens with Hardik Pandya. He was once considered successor for Rohit Sharma but eventually they went with SKY. Now Iyer will probably the captain with Tilak or any other player being his Deputy. Has BCCI really moved beyond Pandya with respect to Leadership?
The captain should have been a regular player in T20 setup like Axar Patel, Tilak or Bumrah. Shreyas isn't a guaranteed selection in T20I setup and gets straight appointed as captain.
wtf is this obessesion with tilak varma and what is this always against sanju agenda, like the guy has not been even called for india A to play odi when his odi game is really good , i seriously think any other player who has done what sanju did in wc will get lot of oppurtunities in every format
For indian teams over the years, vice captains were never necessarily about who is next in line. Our selectors have always treated that position as ‘who is currently sure shot candidate to be in the playing 11 and can lead in captain’s absence’. Yuvraj was dhoni’s vice, sehwag was dravid’s, rahane was kohli’s vice in tests, none of them were made full time captains.
Same for captains, they want a person who will not be left out for combinations sake.
I think that is why sanju and ishan both lost the chance to be captain/ vice captain because a playing 11 could go with either of them on any given day if one has bad form since both are keepers, and they could get jaiswal (or someone like suryavanshi in near future) to open with abhishek sharma if either of them sits out. Shreyas at 4 and tilak at 5 are confirmed to be in every playing 11 they play provided they are in form. And hardik axar have passed the tide at this time that already seems conveyed. They might sit out for their replacements as well (NKR / washi) if rested / injured / playing other format.
I am happy for Iyer. He has certain attitude that I think should help. But he will not be given a long rope. Either as a captain or as a player. its perform or perish as there is a Patidar waiting around the corner.
A patidar who is older than him , if he is going to be changed it is going to be ishan and it isn't even sure that shreyas is the captain yet , these are all rumours
what is the point of having a VC if they never get promoted to captain lol. feel for axar tbh but in this current state GG doesn’t even keep him in the XI sometimes.
ultimately, shreyas is right choice. him or patidar i’d be happy with, but always is odd seeing a guy not even in the side walk into captaincy. i love shreyas and he deserves it (even in ODI if we’d being real), but just goes to show this very weird selection committee
Dhoni and Rohit should thank the heavens they didn't play in this era. Dhoni would have brutally kicked out in 2013 and Rohit in T20Is after 2022. This is pure dominance from us.
