The underlying thought behind not wanting to captain ( for both Sachin and Dravid) is the profound negative impact captaincy stress was having on their batting.

 

When will RAT wake up to this ? 

 

RAT realizes that captain is All-powerful in Indian cricket ( unless you are someone like SRT)

 

He does not want to let go off the power - even though he knows it is damaging his batting much to India's detriment.

Virats purple patch coincided with his captaincy so he thinks it makes him a better batsman 

[Majestic]

He is a GOAT Asian captain and will surpass Graeme Smith's record to establish himself as the greatest test captain of all-time.

RATs captaincy is always in auto pilot  mode 

[Ajju]

Dhoni is GOAT captain in all formats and conditions

PR is not even the third best captain in the team but his bhakts want us to believe he's the reincarnation of Lloyd, Waugh and Smith combined...

In 2025, most test wins as captain:-

 

Kohli - 60

G Smith - 53

Ricky Ponting - 48

Steve Waugh - 41

Lloyd - 36

 

All hail the GOAT. An absolute giant of the game.
