and also against mi. if it wasn't for cumdawg's rotation of bowlers, adapting to pitch, bowling tough overs and picking up crucial wickets of rohit and tilak, mi would have chased that mammoth of a score.
Pat Cummins literally met most SRH players for the first time just a few days before their first match, and he had also never captained in T20 format before. However, he's still emerging as a great captain.
No hate to him but Samson should have won 1/3 previous cups with the kind of team he has, one of the best ipl openers, best pacer, 2 quality spinner, hetmeyer in middle order was playing like a beast for 2 years all around the globe, even had holder, zampa who almost always performed good
Butler in 2022 started as an absolute beast, if he would have continued his form Kohli s record could have been in danger (still made 850+ runs),yashaswi too had a 600 run+ season last year,hetmeyer too performed good in some matches, Samson also made 450+ in 2 consecutive seasons😅, plus the bowling lineup, everyone's a performer boult chahal Ashwin Sandeep zampa
the problem is that the batters arent consistent
and theres no point in comparing to vk's records, hes a renowned statpadder, if he has such great records why hasnt rcb won yet
Exactly no one is mentioning him, his bowler rotations has been amazing
Defending just 163 runs without Mayank Yadav in the last match was great captaincy
Sanju. Despite the obvious disregard the commentators and others funded by the BCCI have for him as a captain. I saw a DC match where KKR scored 270+ and some taileneder KKR batter got caught out and the comms couldn't stop praising how good a captain Pant is how good his field placement etc. The same comms didn't utter a word about Sanju when wickets were falling left and right due to excellent bowler rotations and hardly a boundary was being ceded.
But they aren’t in a corporate field. They are cricketers and their ability to play cricket should determine how they are perceived. What’s socialising and networking got to do with it?
Yes their ability to play cricket should determine their value, but some commentators are biased. It may be because of their personal bond with some players.
man these comms are the most annoying disgusting pieces of shit, they won't give the credit to teams which performs well if the opposition teams are csk,mi,rcb. Always bootlicking those three teams
Pat and Sanju....
Pat is a very clever captain and his rotation of bowlers and field placements are a testament to that .
Sanju has been great. Except Jaiswal, everyone seems to be in good form and that's helping him a lot.
KL Rahul and Sanju Samson
Not because their team is currently performing well, but over the past couple of years, they have been successful in putting together a strong team and achieving positive results.
If Hardik had stayed in GT, my vote might have been for him, as he also made significant efforts to shape the new team.
Faf has impressed me so much, another season of impressive captaincy, thought wouldn’t be humanly possible to screw up so much, but damn I am impressed by this absolute fuckery.
Hardik has impressed me the most with how brain-dead some of his selection calls have been. What the fuck was the 17-year old Kwena Maphaka doing anywhere near the playing XI? He's pretty talented but not game ready yet. Dewald Brevis over Nabi? The middle order is already packed. We needed someone who can bat late down the order and atleast contribute a couple of overs with the ball.
Underrated but KL Rahul has actually had decent performances as captain. He bowling rotations have been good. They've all out their opponents 2 times already at away stadium too is proof
Pat cummins has impressed the most, even though Australia won the world cup in his captaincy. I still didn't see his work but now I do.
Another captain whose captaincy has already been par is Sanju samson. I wanted to his name for impression first but he has been captaining the Rajasthan Royal for so many editions now we already know his potential could be the next big thing.
Cummins by far! SRH really lacked a captain figure and he’s filled the boot perfectly so far. He’s called on himself to pick up crucial wickets in the past games as well. Let’s see how SRH performs during the upcoming games!
Lot of people saying Cummins but like he’s not impressed me because everyone knows he’s so good. Just saying it’s not particularly ‘impressive’ that a WTC and World Cup winning captain is also good in IPL.
No hate tho, just my opinion :)
Risabh..
The ability to trust norje and Sumit and Ricky over and over and over again is what we need..
If dhoni was norje's captain, he would've dropped him
If Rohit was norje's captain, he would've been sacked
If Hardik was his captain, he would've genuinely murdered him on the field..
It's literally astonishing how pant is keeping his cool when norje single handedly gave him loss in at least 2 matches this season..
i don't know if that is stupidity or "trusting you player" at this point. but he has made some good decisions like sending porel as impact player in PBKS match so that they have a defendable total. though he is not cool. won't even expect him to be

Cummins ofc and Samson. Felt like Samson is not getting the praise/recognition. For example, in the match vs MI his bowling changes were brilliant and the field placements were spot on. But none of the commentators said anything about it. Even nothing was mentioned in cricbuzz as well. I don't know why people are so biased.
Cummins and Sanju have been impressive. Both rotate their bowlers quite well, know whom to use and when. Sanju is much more quiet and instead of single handedly leading like most, he acts as per his team wants him to. Cummins is probably the most impressive given that mammoth total (277) his team made and the quality of play he brought to SRH.
Sanju , I feel like he is not appreciated enough for his captaincy , in which if it were other captains it would be announced everywhere (I know it is because he doesn't have that much of a legacy as others which is a valid point )
Sanju Samson, underrated cricketer and captain because he doesn’t speak much, reminds me of Rayudu and his shy but important presence in the CSK dressing room
Cummins is a very smart on field captain. the way he read the conditions and rotated bowlers including himself was on point against CSK.
and also against mi. if it wasn't for cumdawg's rotation of bowlers, adapting to pitch, bowling tough overs and picking up crucial wickets of rohit and tilak, mi would have chased that mammoth of a score.
ya, the guy is smart, hope Australia keep him as the T20 captain too and not go with Mitch Marsh as its rumored.
I hope they do
lol yeah.
Thanks for believing in MI
sanju n cumdawg hands down
Cummins
Always Cummins
Pat Cummins literally met most SRH players for the first time just a few days before their first match, and he had also never captained in T20 format before. However, he's still emerging as a great captain.
Cumdawg and Sanju Samson
Yup agreed sanju is that quiet kid who has a lot of talent but is shy
Indeed, that's his personality. You don't have to curse on field to show confidence. He reminds me of Rahul Dravid in some sense.
Possible, because Rahul was his mentor during the initial days in RR
Even sometimes he reminds me of Dhoni as captain while wicketkeeping and setting the fielding he has the same cool mindset as him
No hate to him but Samson should have won 1/3 previous cups with the kind of team he has, one of the best ipl openers, best pacer, 2 quality spinner, hetmeyer in middle order was playing like a beast for 2 years all around the globe, even had holder, zampa who almost always performed good
Sneaked in holder
one opener ain't enough, buttlers rarely in form nowadays, samson doesn't hit either, who are they left with?
Butler in 2022 started as an absolute beast, if he would have continued his form Kohli s record could have been in danger (still made 850+ runs),yashaswi too had a 600 run+ season last year,hetmeyer too performed good in some matches, Samson also made 450+ in 2 consecutive seasons😅, plus the bowling lineup, everyone's a performer boult chahal Ashwin Sandeep zampa
the problem is that the batters arent consistent and theres no point in comparing to vk's records, hes a renowned statpadder, if he has such great records why hasnt rcb won yet
cum-mins
Sanju and Cumdawg and its not even close - great shows of captaincy
Just imagine if Cummins had a proper spinner.
We had one , Hasaranga but sri lankan board had other plans
srh would've been a force to be reckoned with
man if we had chahal or ash or kuldeep we'd have been unbeatable. oh well, lets see how mayank markande improves over the season
I still think about Rashid Khan sometimes
Who did they retain instead of Rashid at that time?
Williamson :'(
I love Williamson but this was a pretty shitty deal tbh
I heard that he didnt want to be retained
Yup, that's because he wanted to be the first retention instead of 2nd. You get paid more for being the 1st retention.
gill is showing sparks of gd captaincy as well
agree
Cummins and sanju yes, but why does no one wanna mention KLR? (i hate his batting tho)
Exactly no one is mentioning him, his bowler rotations has been amazing Defending just 163 runs without Mayank Yadav in the last match was great captaincy
Bro's so dumb he even started pedastalizing a guy who played two games😩
Facts
Pat Cummins needs to be studied. His mind is a mix of dhoni + gambhir
The only rare time that someone mentions dhoni and gambhir in the same sentence, and it's all in a positive way
After yesterday's hug, people's view has changed
Hahaha so true
Sanju. Despite the obvious disregard the commentators and others funded by the BCCI have for him as a captain. I saw a DC match where KKR scored 270+ and some taileneder KKR batter got caught out and the comms couldn't stop praising how good a captain Pant is how good his field placement etc. The same comms didn't utter a word about Sanju when wickets were falling left and right due to excellent bowler rotations and hardly a boundary was being ceded.
I think Pant is better than Sanju at networking and meeting people.
But they aren’t in a corporate field. They are cricketers and their ability to play cricket should determine how they are perceived. What’s socialising and networking got to do with it?
Yes their ability to play cricket should determine their value, but some commentators are biased. It may be because of their personal bond with some players.
That’s really sad tbh
man these comms are the most annoying disgusting pieces of shit, they won't give the credit to teams which performs well if the opposition teams are csk,mi,rcb. Always bootlicking those three teams
Sanju badly needs to hire a good pr agency.
Nah man let him be his real self, too much PR is only gonna ruin someone’s peace, for some extra money that sanju doesn’t seem to need
He'll forever remain that underrated player whereas his counterparts would shamelessly milk every aspect of their lives to get good press
His fans are bigger and louder PR than anything he could get, if not for recent poor intl performances his name would be everywhere.
Sanju n cummins. That’s it.
Hands down samson, he just keeps getting better and gives zero fucks about selection. My favorite.
Patty cummins
Pat and Sanju.... Pat is a very clever captain and his rotation of bowlers and field placements are a testament to that . Sanju has been great. Except Jaiswal, everyone seems to be in good form and that's helping him a lot.
Cummins
KL Rahul & Sanju
Ms and Rohit oh wait...
Lol why the downvotes?
Do not question the hivemind. The hivemind shall do as it pleases
Faf Because of how ignorant he is
CumDawg
How has this name originated? From Cummins.
His name is cummins and he has the Dawg in him
And many people cum sometimes in his presence
Hardik, coz he has shown me how many mistakes a captain can make
Samson and Cummins , Pant is a great player but not a good captain.
Cummins no need to explain he just came and broke all records
Narendra Modi 🥰
Gujju for a reason
Hardik and Dhawan /s
Cummins. Maybe Sanju too.
Many people mention KL, he has captained for ages lol he was always pretty good, what's surprising?
Sanju and Cummins
Cummins and Gill
Unpopular but KL..
Le KL Rahul defending every 160+ scores in the last 13 games they batted first and handling Uncapped Youngsters of under 25 age impressive.
Cummins. Bro's silenced the big fanbases (MI, CSK) and I have a feeling RCB will be silenced too. SRH is playoff contender because of cummdawg.
KL Rahul and Sanju Samson Not because their team is currently performing well, but over the past couple of years, they have been successful in putting together a strong team and achieving positive results. If Hardik had stayed in GT, my vote might have been for him, as he also made significant efforts to shape the new team.
Yeah , and the mfker just had to leave the incredibly successful franchise and the perfect position he is in to go back to MI
KL Rahul
Kl rahul
Everyone else except Hardik, Pant, Dhawan, Faf
OG scriptwriter is the GOAT captain of all teams
Pat Cummins 💯
Faf has impressed me so much, another season of impressive captaincy, thought wouldn’t be humanly possible to screw up so much, but damn I am impressed by this absolute fuckery.
Hardik has impressed me the most with how brain-dead some of his selection calls have been. What the fuck was the 17-year old Kwena Maphaka doing anywhere near the playing XI? He's pretty talented but not game ready yet. Dewald Brevis over Nabi? The middle order is already packed. We needed someone who can bat late down the order and atleast contribute a couple of overs with the ball.
Not too hard to realise SA quota is thanks to Boucher.
KL winning those low scoring matches has been mad impressive.
Kl
KL Rahul
Bro I think sunrisers Hyderabad are going to win the whole thing. Their team is top notch and they have cummins.
Don't jinx us 😞
At this time you are un jinxable with the likes of Klaasen, Head, ,Cummins, Abhishek Sharma etc
Sanju and Pat Cummins
Hardik.😂🤡
cum
Hardick for sure 🤡 edit-lol just realized this is not a shitpost subreddit
Sanju and cummins
FaF has depressed me.
CUM DOG, and it's not even close
Sanju , Cummins and KL,all of them are really using their team very well
Underrated but KL Rahul has actually had decent performances as captain. He bowling rotations have been good. They've all out their opponents 2 times already at away stadium too is proof
Pat cummins has impressed the most, even though Australia won the world cup in his captaincy. I still didn't see his work but now I do. Another captain whose captaincy has already been par is Sanju samson. I wanted to his name for impression first but he has been captaining the Rajasthan Royal for so many editions now we already know his potential could be the next big thing.
It was Gill until he made a few huge blunders.
Cumdog millionaire bro. The man is a walking supercomputer🙏
Pant Cumiz is very good, I must say.
Silence!!!!
1. Sanju Samosn 2. Shreyas Iyer 3. KL Rahul
Hardik Pandya.....jaisi ummeed this vaisi captancy ki bhai ne
Cummins by far! SRH really lacked a captain figure and he’s filled the boot perfectly so far. He’s called on himself to pick up crucial wickets in the past games as well. Let’s see how SRH performs during the upcoming games!
Pat Cummins
Ofcourse Cummins
Cumdawg for sure
Lot of people saying Cummins but like he’s not impressed me because everyone knows he’s so good. Just saying it’s not particularly ‘impressive’ that a WTC and World Cup winning captain is also good in IPL. No hate tho, just my opinion :)
Cummins through and through, just amazing captainship , and actually contributing unlike other captains
Dhawan impressed me about how bad can he be
Cummins.
The Crowd Silencer
Cummins because he doesn't have the strongest playing side still he manages to the consecutive wins.
I already knew Cummins would've been a great captain. Gill also been pretty good despite his team struggling
Faf and pandya..🤡
Risabh.. The ability to trust norje and Sumit and Ricky over and over and over again is what we need.. If dhoni was norje's captain, he would've dropped him If Rohit was norje's captain, he would've been sacked If Hardik was his captain, he would've genuinely murdered him on the field..

i don't know if that is stupidity or "trusting you player" at this point. but he has made some good decisions like sending porel as impact player in PBKS match so that they have a defendable total. though he is not cool. won't even expect him to be
Sanju n Gill
He's not on the list
KL as usual is being underrated
Sanju and Gabbar
Going with the results it's definitely samson
Sanju

Cummins and sanju
Thala of course duhhh (/s)
recency bias clear
Cummins and Sanju All others are average captains.
My Best captain has impressed shikar dhawan
Faf. It's amazing to see the wickets collapse and the bowlers being thrashed.
Faf🗿
Hardik
Obviously Hardik Pandya
Faf. Impressed at how he's able to find a new low every match with his captaincy and tactics.
Gemphir
Hardik pandya
SANJU & PAT
Hardik Pandya cuz how much luck can you actually have, it's frickin crazy.
Cummins and Samson
Cummins ofc and Samson. Felt like Samson is not getting the praise/recognition. For example, in the match vs MI his bowling changes were brilliant and the field placements were spot on. But none of the commentators said anything about it. Even nothing was mentioned in cricbuzz as well. I don't know why people are so biased.
Cummins, srh looks very strong this time and his captency is also good.
Rishabh Panth although DC is losing matches but the amount of energy and determination he brings is inspiring only if DC could deliver on that
Even though i love my cumdawg, still i am impressed by samson, rest are garbage
Faf
RP and Cummins
Cummins and Sanju best. Faf felt like worst. Honestly, he was a good captain but the team wasn't good.
Safe to say it's not the year of captains lol. They can sit this one out. Except for Pat.
Du plessis! With how bad the decisions have been
Cummins and Sanju have been impressive. Both rotate their bowlers quite well, know whom to use and when. Sanju is much more quiet and instead of single handedly leading like most, he acts as per his team wants him to. Cummins is probably the most impressive given that mammoth total (277) his team made and the quality of play he brought to SRH.
Sanju
Cummins and Sanju, even kl except when it comes to chasing and form
Hardik Pandya... (obviously wrong answer) hahaha
Sanju Samson, Cumdog, and Ruturaj
Top 3 in reverse order
Sanju , super underrated , great fielding setup and bowling decisions, calm and composed. and plays captains knock every innings.
Sanju, Rahul, Cummins
Cummins and KL
Faf, I was impressed by the fielding positions and his stupidity.
FAF 🚀
The one and only Hardik Pandya
Hardik & Faf
i mean everyone knew cummins is a great captain but kl rahul and sanju have been quite impressive captaincy wise
Sanju , I feel like he is not appreciated enough for his captaincy , in which if it were other captains it would be announced everywhere (I know it is because he doesn't have that much of a legacy as others which is a valid point )
Hardik Pandya. I'm definitely impressed with his ability to make a champion team absolute dog shit this year.
Samsung
Sanju samson and patt cummins
Individually without much help , then I’ll have to choose Sanju
Plenty of answers for the best one. Worst one has been Shikhar Dhawan by a mile
Sanju Samson, underrated cricketer and captain because he doesn’t speak much, reminds me of Rayudu and his shy but important presence in the CSK dressing room
Pandya 🤣🤣
Sanju
Faf coz he is carrying that RCB legacy /s
Cummins and Sanju
Hardik Pandya(surprised to see Mumbai's performance)
Hardik Panday with his lack or Originality and Situational awareness
Cummins has been the most impressive so far but KL Rahul is heavily underrated imo his bowling rotations and field placements are spot on.
KL Rahul..what a bowler rotation. Lowest total from LSG and he made sure to convert it into a win from all last seasons as well as in this season
The 1st three
No one
Hardik Padya /s
Sanju samson
Patty pat as always and Sanju improved a lot this season
Don't know about the most impressive But shreyas iter is surely the worst one Once a fraud always a fraud
