I think it is not the problem with rahul, cricket is a team game, every one must be in form, I think under rahul's captancy there are lot of players who are strugling with form, if 6 out 11 are in the form with the talent that INDIA have, i dont think any body can beat US

now on the verge of big tournament u cant change the captain of any side.Yes there r now some questions raised against Rahul but considering his nature he hass done very well as a captain as well as batsman.remember he has not taken any pressure of captaincy as it was on sourav and sachin.Sachin had his worst part in that period of his captaincy.so I think now there will b no change till world cup.after world cup it well b there and most probable will b Sehwag.

Good Analysis!
But I want to see Sehwag as a consistant Batsman than a Captain.

Rahul dravid is cool. That definitly wud make the team play naturally. But you need to be more movitating and encouraging the boys now and then, which would help them to be active. When rahul is playing the game without captainship ,i think he can play more nicely than being as a captain. I think ganguly is most good at that.

hey the topic is pretty valid but the point is do u want to tinker with the captaincy at this late stage,when we just have 8 games to go before the world cup and we dont have a stable team either..
i think dravid is a good captain,bt hes nt brilliant as sourav.still,i dont think theres ne need to change the captaincy nw

No way,Dravid is the main stay of the Indian team. He takes very good decisions as a captain. If India should hold any hope for thr world cup, Dravid should be the captain.

to be very honest sourav is far better as a captain than dravid..........dravid is a great batsman undoubtedly, but he lacks the aggression and the killer instinct that ganguly had. he s the only indian captain who dared to give answers to the aussies during their sledging which not only bossted the teams spirit...but also created lot more confident indian team..........but now since the world cup is very near so it s better not to manipulate with the composition of the team which may turn against the team

I think that Dravid is not as aggressive as Ganguly. Ganguly is the one who is fit for the role of captainship. He should not have been outthroned. If he leads India in the world cup, then India will have more of a chance of winning the world cup. I think that Dravid has very less chance of leading India to the world cup.

We should honour sachin. because he complete more records and bring good name to our indian cricket history. Now he is a seniour player. He know so many experience.He only plays more number of matches with great success.so all players will play under sachin tendulkar capatainship. we should give one more chance to sachin. we ge get this worldcup means more than 100 crore peoplea hearts fills with happiness.
this is my personal opinion only.
what you feel about my opinion.

As u see Sachin will never opt to be captain of Indian team again. Ganguly
returning to captainship may lead to problems again. So it is necessary for Dravid to be the captain of Indian Cricket team. You cannot blame the captain for the whole team's dismal performance . they need to buck up themselves and give their best

As a man with balanced temperament,none can compete with him for Captaincy.Ganguly is an able cricketer.But of mercurial temperament.Dravid and none else.

it has got to be rahul dravid to carry the captaincy for india. he is the first indian captain to win a test match in south africa( certain captains have lost test matches there even after centuries by two of his players). he has won a crutial test series in WI. ok india's performance in the Odi's haven't been all, that great, but they are winning the odi series against wi. SOO cheerois Rahul Dravid. HE is a tRue brave capitan

I think this not the right time for change in captaincy, may be after the World Cup. Because, Dravid has gained momentum over the team upto some extent & it is unfair to remove him on the eve of the World Cup. If Sachin is opted for captaincy, then there will be no agressiveness, because he usualy prefers to defend in the field, which is in contrast with his batting, in his early days. If Sourav is opted now, then there may be a ripple in the team, which we know, as he has just arrived after a long while.
