Check out 5 major points why the BCCI is looking clueless regarding the Vice Captain of Indian Cricket Team ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023.
ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 is just a few months away from now and BCCI is still confused with their vice-captain option, while the Captain will be Rohit Sharma, who will lead the team in the World Cup 2023. These raise several questions about the BCCI and Indian Team Management regarding their preparation ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023.
The fans can’t wait to see India lift the World Cup again, but the question arises is BCCI ready with their vice-captain of the Indian Cricket Team, which has become a big topic as of now?
During MS Dhoni’s time Indian team started preparing for the World Cup 2011 three years prior which is not the case with the Current Indian Team and management. Hence, Here are the five valid points why BCCI which prove BCCI is clueless ahead of ODI World Cup 2023.
Points Prove That BCCI Is Clueless regarding the Vice Captain of Indian Cricket Team
1. BCCI Removed Virat Kohli (Wanted 1 White Ball Captain)
The BCCI’s decision to remove Virat Kohli as captain was criticized by fans. Virat Kohli was one of the most successful captains in the history of Indian cricket, winning the Test series in Australia & England. His removal was marked as disrespectful when he was removed from the ODI captaincy.
Just after the resignation, the BCCI stated that they wanted a one-white-ball captain for India. Hence, appointed Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team, which led Virat Kohli to resign from Test captaincy as well.
Since then, from KL Rahul to Jasprit Bumrah, the BCCI has tried many players as vice captain of Indian Cricket Team but was not satisfied, and the situation is now in front of us.
2. Removed KL Rahul From Vice Captaincy
KL Rahul as the captain of Team India was doing a fine job as he gained a huge amount of experience under MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, but he was sacked from the vice-captaincy without any proper reason.
KL Rahul, as a deputy to Rohit Sharma, led India to 6 victories in 10 matches with a winning percentage of 60%. He also had an average of 34.70 as a captain, with 2 centuries and 1 half-century.
KL Rahul’s captaincy stats:
Matches: 10
Wins: 6
Losses: 4
Win percentage: 60%
Average: 34.70
Hundreds: 2
Half-centuries: 1
The BCCI appointed Hardik Pandya as the new vice-captain of Indian Cricket Team India after he won the Gujarat Titans an IPL title.
3. Appointed Hardik Pandya as T20I Captain
The BCCI appointed Hardik Pandya as T20I captain without any prior experience of captaincy in International Cricket. Not just captaincy, but he also has issues with his fitness, which most of the time rule him out of the game.
Another reason is that he has been very inconsistent with the bat as well, which has been a concern for a very long time now. His captaincy came into question many times, and as a result, the Indian team lost a T20I series against the West Indies.
The vice-captain of the Indian Cricket Team’s decision comes into question when he doesn’t utilize Mukesh Kumar’s overs and just uses him at the death in the T20I series against the West Indies. The same happened with Yuzvendra Chahal when Pandya didn’t bowl Chahal’s full quota of overs when he was on top of West Indies batters, and India lost that match.
However, Fans think he still needs to learn a lot of things to make the proper decisions in the match.
4. No Hardik Pandya as Vice Captain Of Indian Cricket Team
After the loss against the West Indies T20I BCCI is again looking for a change in vice captain Of Indian Cricket Team, which tells the story of the management. Hardik Pandya has not been very impressive so far, but continuous changes in the captain & vice-captain of Indian cricket team can create a panic situation, which could affect their performance as well.
World Cup 2023 is just a few days away, and the Indian team is still looking unsettled as Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are making good progress in NCA, but their performance will be in question until they perform on the field.
5. Jasprit Bumrah New Vice-Captain Of Indian Cricket Team
BCCI is thinking of appointing Jasprit Bumrah as the vice captain of Indian Cricket Team after he gained his full fitness again in the T20I series against Ireland and was looking in good rhythm as well.
Appointing Bumrah as the vice-captain will not be a smart decision as he is just coming out of a long injury, and giving him so much workload will be very risky, especially when World Cup 2023 is just a few days away and you don’t want your bowler to get injured again. Thus, it won’t be a brave decision at all.
BCCI needs to be very clear with their planning if they are really looking at the future like MS Dhoni used to do.
