Hit atleast 30 runs in the middle is what people expect of him..his best came against USA alone

True

No one wants him to score 50, we just want him to score those 30-40 runs in between. Just what Ishan did yesterday.

& Sanju is just 10 runs behind SKY even after playing half the matches.

It's not about who is the best scorer that's the work of a batsman, he had good bowlers so his placement look good to us but imagine a match where even all the best players of our team fails then does he have the capability to lead the team? Leave about winning or loosing, he can not absorb the pressure of other players and keep them calm, varun kept making the same mistakes and he kept giving him ball, i agree that he did not have much players but did he gave the chance to other players who could bowl in the overs we had upper hand to keep the pressure off from varun?? Dhoni used to do that and this gave us many good players and oppostion was always surprised in the situation they thought they had all the controls, I know not all matches are for experiment but you could do that occasionally and especially in the situation which is going out of your control, he lacks the vision of captain.

It's my personal opinion and you can all disagree with it but i don't see a solid reason why he is the captain when we can have better options

In the team of 15 who are there in this WC. It is only him who could be the captain.

But I hope after this WC, they start taking Captaincy seriously.

But then again they removed Rohit to give Captaincy to Gill, so I don't have high expectations from them.

Please Washington Sundar ko lelo in Ahmedabad instead of Abhishek

HE is good batsman plus wicket bhi lega

We don't need extra batsman

we choose captain on the basis of popularity not on merit

Bumrah and hardik are injury prone

He lead us through the USA match when we were on the verge of losing?

I think by giving the ball back to Varun, he showed his support him...It can be seen in both the ways...If I were Varun, I would feel good that my captain is backing me and it would make me want to perform better...Surya stands up for his players.

Fact is, today's pitch had nothing for the bowlers...Despite the limited options he did well in terms of holding off his key bowlers at the right time when he noticed that the other side was trying to play them off and brought them back (both Bumrah and Hardik) in the death overs...that 18th over Bumrah and 19th over Hardik is what has saved the match...of course its not all perfect but that's what T20 is all about isn't it?

If not him who else you think should be our captain? Whoever is the captain will have to compromise on his personal performance...Who are we willing to lose as a performer? and what is the guarantee they will be better than Surya?

yeah, we have ipl, see which Indian player is doing well (consistently) and which player is doing a good job as a captain, not just winning the games but leading with clarity in the losses as well, then make him the temporary captain to see if he can do the same with some of the world class and young players with less experience and much potential and then give him the chances to lead the team in bilateral series before giving him a captainship of big tournament, they can do many things apart from choosing the captain from the list of players worshipped by teenagers or who has the most fan following, cricket is a game, let it be that instead of turning it into fanwar or galmour industry, we can leave this part for IPL and let international matches purely be guided by the merit and the spirit of the game

Why SKY gave ball to Dube.

That said, it is a generally accepted rule in cricket that it is easier to hit a spinner for boundaries in a final over than dealing with the variations of a pacer. And the presence of the left-handed Bethell at the crease would have been an additional challenge for Axar, even if Bumrah and Pandya’s brilliance ensured he had plenty of cushion to try and seal a victory for India.

And looking back at the three overs that he had bowled today, the left-arm spinner was being put under pressure right away; Banton had struck him for back-to-back sixes in his first two deliveries of the evening while Will Jacks smashed him for a six and a four in the second and third deliveries of what proved to be his final over.
