What is the main reason why Captain Dravid's team is not winning any IPL matches currently 2008?

Question

Misbah Ul Haq says "it's the captain & the team managment."

- DLF

Is MisBah Ul Haq correct?

Answer 1

The team does not have good T20 players. How can one even think of winning T20's consistently with a team consisting of Test players like Dravid, Jaffer, Kumble and Kallis. Except Steyn, Boucher, Misbah and Praveen Kumar, there is not a single specialist T20 player.

Answer 2

Because of the Lack of team Co-operation ..!

Answer 3

Bangalore team is not only the Rahul dravid he is a captain thats all team is 11 people each and evry time captain cant to evry thing have to support the team mates also

Malya is very wrong its very easy to say by sitting in chair that is wrong they r wrong they are not good players like that as hinm to come play and see in ground.

Rahul dravid is always great player

Answer 4

the team combination is more of a test team and less of a T-20 spirit.....

lack of liason and trust b/w team management and sportspersonnel......

Rahul Dravid as a captain........

Answer 5

totally wrong....

they are suffering with openers.. they are not having attacking openers.....

Answer 6

the main reason is spirit is low.We have a very good team but still we are unable to steal the show.Not every batsmans are contribuing their best in every match.Its not with the captain,team management.Its with team's performance.They lost the first match badly & then went on loosing.They won 2 matches on the way & thats all/

We are really very unlucky./

If we win all the left out games,then that can prove something.Can this happen?

Answer 7

Misbah Ul Haq is really wrong........................ Rahul Dravid is doing a fantastic job as captain........The problem with the team is that not all of them give Rahul the support that he needs.........Every match he ends scoring the highest runs for the team......the only people who actually cooperate are the bowlers and Mark Boucher. Coming to the team management I don't know if there is any politics there................but one thing I can tell you......Vijay Mallya has really lost it..................Firstly he should realize that he is made only for liqour not for cricket to comment on Dravid and blame him for the team's misfortune................The fact that Dravid is leading a test team is 50 % true..........and its Mallya's fault..............being an owner I think he should learn from SRK.........Instead of blaming 1 person the whole unit should take collective responsibility...............Dravid is a fantastic cricketer and his clean record and excellent cricketing history proves it.............No one has any rights to blame him.....

I just saw some of the answers and I can see the quotes "Dravid is a test player" in quite a number of places...........You guys are wrong..........If he was a test player he wouldn't be the batsman with the highest score in his team..........It is the young guns who have to fire...............the fielding should be improved and the bowlers should attack........No use blaming Dravid........

Answer 8

thats because dravid is more comfortable playing for test and players like jaffer play slowley so they dont have chaces of winning

Answer 9

There are 3 reasons for it.

1- The team players dont have very good understandings and are not friendly each other.

2- They have all highly paid inexplosive batsman's.

3- They dont have a game plan.

This is what i can understand after seeing their performances through out the tournament.

Answer 10

Their  batting  is  letting them down

They  have  too  many  slow players

Apart   from  seniors, youngsters  like  Virat Kohli have also  not performed with the bat.

They  have  Zaheer,Steyn,Praveen Kumar,Kumble in their  bowling attack

Answer 11

The problem is that, in this case, the sum of the parts do not make the whole.

These are 11 individuals and not a team, the captain can't motivate the team and the franchise owner washes dirty laundry in the open.

Answer 12

I do not think that Misbah-ul-Haq is correct as he himself has been a failure.Basically team selection of Bangalore Royal Challengers is wrong as the team is loaded with players well suited for test matches and lack batsmen capable of scoring at fast rate.

Answer 13

probably its true .....as u hav seen rcb hav won only 2 matches n lost others.......................n dravid is a test player so he doesnt know it but he is a good player n i can see dat he is trying hard 2 keep it n its gud

Answer 14

they dont have explosive batsman

Answer 15

On paper there is no doubt that Rahul's team is the one for the others to beat. Sadly, they are not firing as one expected. Vijay Mallya is not the one to be blamed, not for a moment. If his team plays like a bunch of losers and no hopers, why blame the owner? From what I can infer Rahul is stuck in the 5 day format of the game and the twain will never meet. T20 is a different beast altogether.

Answer 16

I cant complain dravid for the failure.... Still dravid team has very good players like styen ,kallis ,pravin kumar,boucher,zaheer khan,ross taylor,cameron white,chanderpaul,kumble,misbah ul haq....... They have a strong team infact..... But team management says team is weak... With so many successfull playes in royal challengers bangalore they are not able to win.... They have strong team... But there is no cooperation between the players... Where as rajasthan royals they have only few international players ,remaining are local players , but they are winning.... They have a poor team..... But stilll they are winning because of cooperation and good paractice....

Answer 17

the lack of performance of their players is the main reason

Answer 18

may be its true.....

Answer 19

this yeam is not winning mathes becoz this is a test team.

Answer 20

though rahul s a ( very gud) test player, he scored his fastest 50 in jus 25 balls & he's a top scorer & top contributer in bangalore team... but misbah s gud t-20 player but he faild to do his job in dis league ...misbah being a failure, he has nothing to speak of dravid's captaincy....misbah's statement itself shows tat d team s non-cooperative...... failure s not due 2 dravid's captaincy  butdue 2 his non -cooperative team.... despite with his noncooperative team and immnse pressure 4rom his team owner , dravid excels n his captaincy.... which s an appreciable thing......
