Recommended Posts

How about YuvRaj Singh? Do you guys think he's good enough to be a captain?
In T20s i assume? If yes then wont be that bad a choice but will mean lack of vision imo.Kohli is the right and best choice for captaincy atm

Isnt that what happened with Dhoni? Was dhoni groomed for captaincy? And that change did provide huge dividends. Sometimes making a young guy captain does work. Check SA and Smith. T20 is for youngsters anyways' date=' Dhoni started the same way[/quote'] exactly.to add Dhoni had zero experience of captaining wen he was appointed,whereas others have done it in IPL n U19 in Virat's case

Coming from a totally different angle, are we going to lose our lucky charm Dhoni as captain . I hope not. From luck point of view Gambhir seemd to have good luck when he captained IPL compared to Kohli.To put it in perspective, if Iam not wrong we had 3 captains during the Kumble's retirement series ( Kumble, Sehwag and Dhoni). The team was exactly similar, but we know the results of two matches that Dhoni did not captain. Probably Dhoni need to up his game and boldly drop some experienced players for few tests and reassess his captaincy after that.

Didn't Dhoni say that he's not even interested in tests? Makes no sense in retaining him as test captain given the team's recent performance and his own test performance. Raina for T20s is fine. Dhoni should continue in ODIs till 2015 WC. Issue is with tests where barring Ashwin and Kohli no one even deserves a spot in the team.

It would be extremely stupid to make him a captain at this point when he is doing so well as a batsman. Making him a captain is not only gonna ruin his performance, it'll also bring down the performance of the whole team. I don't see Raina, Gambhir, Sehwag and Dhoni all playing second fiddle to a 23 year old kid.

I dont think any captain would make a difference in tests as of now,but just to reduce Dhoni's workload I'd try Viru.his place isnt in danger to me as of now,specially on these pitches.after a while,Virat can take over as he matures

Also, since when did exceptions become a norm. Dhoni and Smith are exceptions - it was lucky infact that they were successful. We should not get into this hack/change business. It is best left to our padosis.

No issue with sacking Dhoni in Tests. ODIs he is a gun player and India is a good team so no need for change. T20s yes, give it to Kohli. But what is up with these people championing Gambhir as the new Test captain :facepalm: he has been basically India's worst batsman for two years. You really want an excuse for BCCI to make he or Sehwag even more untouchable than they are. :haha: Seems to me the only players with 'neutral' credentials in Tests are Pujara and Kohli.
