Is Gambhir Making A Play For The Captaincy?

Of course, he is. And if he gets his touch back, which he surely will, he will be a better choice to replace MSD as the test captain. In fact had he been in a decent enough nick during the Eng and Aus test series, he could well have been made the t20 skipper after the test debacles.

Going by his recent pronouncements to the press that have been interesting, to put it mildly, it seems like Gambhir is being encouraged by certain sections of the BCCI to go for broke for a shot at the next captaincy. Kohli coming good recently may also have spurred his camp. Some of his more interesting comments... "Ÿe should have finished the game in the 48th over. We shouldnÃÕ have taken this game to 50th over. This is my personal observation" - About Dhoni's handling of the end overs. "You don't want names, you want people who can deliver. We have shown it, I think." - Questioning Sachin's place in the team. What do you think?
He also told this team was the best possible XI. So he pointing at sachin possibly.

He can't be for real. Sachin is much better than Sehwag in these conditions. On current form, the only guys ahead of Sachin are Kohli and Dhoni.

I think like most of us he was frustrated with the way Dhoni batted. So he honestly said that. Nothing wrong. I also feel he doesn't respect SRT that much.

I see believe Sachin Blame policy brewing up again :O
It is okay to get a bit of hate. He's gotten some megatonnes of love all his life, he can do with a bit of hate. Balances out things rather. Why should one man get such a disproportionate amount of affection? No fair. (New inductee in the 'It's always Sachin's fault' club).

I think no one is happy with rotation policy.... Specially the ones who had assumed there place as guranteed. TBH we need some policy like this because form based policy can be easily used against a particular player. Gambhir should shutup and wait for his turn.

Maybe he hates SRT for not retiring yet since due to which Gambhir has to sit out after every 2 matches . Now someone whose dreaming about being a captain wouldnt like to be left out after regular intervals. I think his frustration is only due to opening slot competition in the side. In the tests , he was backing VVS ( whose not a threat to his place in the side ) when everyone was against him while takes a dig at a senior in the Odis. Very pathetic and two faced .

I think Gambhir is the kind of guy who speaks from his heart. He doesn't think a lot before he speaks...a lot like Sehwag. Honestly, if this guy was making a play for captaincy, he would definitely not be taking on the 2 biggest names in Indian cricket - Dhoni and Sachin. Besides, I didn't find anything wrong in what he said. Yes, the game should have been finished earlier....the more delay, the higher the chance that you would fail when you are chasing. India lost wickets needlessly in that period. If one of the batsmen had stayed, India would have finished the game earlier. He did not necessarily blame Dhoni for that. The batsmen who got out are more of the culprits. And about Sachin, he hardly plays ODIs nowadays so a xi without him has no excuses for loosing just because he is not playing. Stop the needless conspiracy theories and Sachin worship. Indian cricket is already going to the dogs because of Srinivasan and Co, the paying public need not join in and cause more confusion and disharmony.

"For me, this was the best playing XI,'' Gambhir said before pointedly adding "it's not about names''. "You don't want names, you want people who can deliver,''
Disgraceful comments from Gambhir. On his worst day , Tendulkar is vastly superior to Gambhir.
