Not making it to world cup squad was totally Rinku's fault.
Let me tell you how
1) He plays for small , weak state uttarpradesh rather than playing for Karnataka, Bombay
2) He doesn't play for big 3 ipl franchise and instead plays for kkr.
3) He put performance in 11 months

There's a theory that lake lochness is a vanishing point and loch Ness monster isn't a monster as such but a prehistoric creature who enters this time and leaves accidentally because of the vanishing point from modern day and the one in his era
This is reflection of hard work and success.
When his father passed away , a 17 year old boy couldn't attend his funeral cause he knew deep down that Rani trophy debut was now or never for him.
18 years down the line , he's rich and stable enough to not be dependent on cricket
It is irrelevant whether the person who disrespected Haris Rauf was from Pakistan or India. What truly matters is that this individual lacked values and manners. No one has the right to disrespect any human being, especially in front of their family members. Such appalling
Exposing Babar Azam the odi batter:
1: 1st 3 100s : 120 , 123 , 117 vs Wi
A toothless and very weak wi side with Kraigg Braithwaite as opener 😭😭
2: 100(109) vs Aus while chasing 370 😭😭😭
3: 125* vs Wi B team again
4: 101(133) , 103(131) vs SL 2017 : imagine such knock in
@Extralongdokkan
They better be having another couple of Gokus atleast one from dragon ball , one from gt and throw in xeno Goku , xeno Vegeta and gt Vegeta as well
If Rohit wins the series with this team , has already drawn 1-1 in South Africa
Then for me he will be 2nd greatest Indian captain of all time after Rahane
@CricCrazyJohns
In final
KL Rahul: 66 off 107
Rest of the team: 174 off 193 balls
Left about 25 runs keeping
He's literally the biggest reason India lost
Gambhir going after Rohit skipping games again:
"From here on i want to see Rohit playing every game till the world cup. You can't be resting, you've already rested enough."
Kohli can't survive on these kind of pitches for long with such limited range against spin . He played his best today in terms of judging the length and using feel but range hi ni toh kabhi na kabhi toh out ho hi jaata . It's High time we accept it .
Fun fact: KL Rahul and Joe Root belong to same U-19 batch.
While one is debated to be best test batsman from his country the other is still a 31 yr old Youngster.
@CricCrazyJohns
India needs a foreign coach who has previous experience of coaching an international side.
John Wright was last Trophy winning coach for India
After that Shastri and Kumble had no experience and Dravid only coached at u-19 level.
Laxman has only coached in IPL
Will be another
When I started watching cricket properly in aftermath of 2015 world cup.
The first series I watched was NZ vs Eng which coincided with IPL.
There in limited over leg I saw Jason Roy debut in ODIs.
Didn't seem impressive for the first series to me though seemed more of a T20
Fun fact :
Kohli never scored a white ball century against Australia when Starc , Cummins , Hazlewood have played together.
So his fans raising the point that Gaikwad's ton is against such attack is weak.
He wasn't even India's best batter 😭😭
It was clearly Rohit
Pretty sure if we adjust runs then 673 of that time is 800+ in modern day and that's not even taking strike rate in consideration
Kohli (90.31) and Sachin (89.25) had nearly identical strike rates despite the
Virat Kohli 2023 is hands down greatest ever campaign in any tournament. 730 runs including a KO 100 & a 50 . Nothing beats that.
Though Sachin’s 1996 campaign is close 2nd because it was carry job of unreal proportion, followed by Sachin’s 2003 then comes anything else
Not defending it but you can't deny what goes against Rohit is that Kohli had peak Pujara , Rohit , Vijay , Himself , Ash , , Jad ,Ishant ,Shami and Umesh
While Rohit has none of those at his disposal
Rohit Sharma stands tall in adversity
Mohammad Shami out injured.
Virat Kohli on leave due to birth of child.
Ashwin had to leave in middle of the innings because of personal issues.
Bumrah rested for 4th test.
Kele Rahul injured again
And still Rohit is leading the series
Unpopular opinion: just like bowlers are dropped and picked on basis of conditions same can be done for Batters .
Like Iyer plays spin well so he plays all games in Asia , Gill plays bounce well then he gets to play in Australia and similarly.
Virat kohli did not win icc trophy as a captain but his aura and presence was unmatched. Rohit have more ipl trophies but cannot match virat kohli in that aspect..

@albiemorkel
Tendulkar
He was era defining player .
Went much more than just bat and ball.
Played in a time when India were a fairly weak side and had too many guys who willingly lost matches
Kohli has no such relationship with any of his seniors perhaps sans dhoni
No wonder nobody stood up for him jab dada dhakke maarke captaincy se bhaga diya
Happy birthday brothaman 🎂 from being a youngster in the team when I first met you to now leading the team, you’ve done well & should feel proud of how far you’ve come 💪🏻 hope you score tons of runs & get home loads of trophies this year! Lots of love 🤗❤️
@ImRo45
This is why If forced to pick one of Kohli or Rohit as a must for world T20 later this year without a second thought I'd go with Rohit.
Six hitting is a gifted art that can't be learnt.
Rohit can make a game in powerplay and if he bats very long then under no scenario will he
Till 2017 Mumbai Indians fanbase was team driven
But with rise of Rohit's stock and increased stature overtime MI fanbase is more of Rohit's fan base.
I think they failed to realise it.
Even if Hardik was going to become the captain then the announcement of Rohit stepping down
Haan bhai saare log jo Rohit ki test captaincy pel rahe the
What will you say if he becomes first Indian captain in last 10 years to draw a series in South Africa?
Rishabh Pant said - "If I had played 2023 World Cup Final, then we would have either been all out for 150 or 200 runs or would have scored over 300+ runs". (Aap Ki Adalat).
@MohammadKaif
More facts:
1) Australia were without Travis Head for both the games they lost.
2) Adam Zampa was unfit for first quarter of campaign because of his back and further due to injury to his face , which was clearly visible against ind and sa in Chennai and LKO
Thus in final both
In terms of legacy and impact on world cricket MS might have a bigger overall standing than Kohli and Sachin.
Everyone when they mention Sachin goes around calls Sachin as gifted, exceptional and what not.
Kohli is called as one of the greatest chasers of all time and PPL wanna
