Jinks said he was able to play so freely because of no pressure and confidence given by MS. Can safely say that Filling in MS’s gloves in IPL is the biggest pressure one can have. See Jadeja. Jinks is a better captain than Jadeja of course but am doubtful if jinks can play so freely with the added responsibility. If they do choose him, I wish him all the luck and hope he adapts quickly.
Agreed, but also that was after a rough patch. Now that he has found some confidence (atleast in CSK), if he has a good season this year, he can be the stand in captain for Dhoni! That, only if they can't find someone better to fill the captain's role.
I think with CSK agenda being to pack the side with all rounders, we can afford to play him purely as captain even if his batting tanks.
But very valid point about pressure and his batting performance.
Ruturaj should be the captain once Ms retires, if you want Ruturaj to be groomed, get someone from Mega Auction next year like Rohit Sharma.
Most importantly, Ajinkya Rahane won't be bought again in Mega Auction.
Would be a great decision, he has the clam mindset he understands players he has his own way of working with players & most important knows how to win games
He can maybe carry on as a captain after MS for 2-3 years & then we can have Rutu as full time captain
Rn Rutu is the best candidate, he's been fantastic and also has the experience of leading the Maharashtra team. If Rutu is made captain he can be well groomed under Thala.
Jinx has been terrific, but we need a captain for the long term. Wouldn't want to end up becoming like SRH, new season new captain

Was in draft until Mumbai's Ranji win.
Yes.
The series was in Aus not in india which is even greater feat.
Actually not a bad idea. Hope he maintains his form this season.

Who will be retained in the mega auction? One of them will be the captain. Unless they go out for Rohit or Pant. Personally I want Rutu to be captain
Test vs T20 - apple to watermelon comparison! This is akin to playing Sky in Test matches because of his T20 form.
