cricketman Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Dhoni is a good player. He has done a lot for Indian cricket. He has lead us to own all 3 big name trophies as well as the Number 1 Test team. That being said... his time, in test cricket at least, is up. Captaincy is not a position to be occupied for so long, except for the very best (smith, ponting etc) Dhoni is not HALF as good tactically let alone as a player compared to ppl like this. When MSD first got captaincy in 2008 it was a breath of fresh air. Before that, Kumble showed fire and passion and lead from the front in tough series vs Australia etc. Before him, Dravid in 2005/6 when he got it from Ganguly, instilled a new sense of passion into the Indian team. Before him too, Ganguly lead a young indian team from shambles of match fixing to respectability. In each of these scenarios, the previous captaincy had become stale, mundane, and unimaginative. Players did not respond. A change in leadership caused tremendous gains for the team, at least in the short term. It is time for that now. Who do we look to? Can Virat Kohli step up? I think he can.
