It’s been an interesting and eventful year for Indian cricket. In march, the early exit from the World Cup, Then winning some tests and series for the first time, Winning the T20 World Championship without the “Big Three” under the leadership of the “aggressive” new captain MS Dhoni. Rahul Dravid quitting captaincy, Appointment of Dhoni as the ODI captain, dropping dravid from the ODI team, amongst other comparatively smaller issues.
Now the year seems to be coming to and end but the stories coming out of the cricket board just doesn’t seem to. The latest debate the “Test Capatincy”. Now that Sachin Tendulkar has declined to accept the “challenge”, the selectors are once again in the public eye. Whom do they pick? Dhoni? Ganguly? Kumble? Laxman?
Well one thing is for sure! It is going to be the talking point for a long time.
If I was to choose out of the lot I may choose either Dhoni or Laxman. Dhoni being appointed the captain doesn’t feel right at this point in time. Laxman may be a surprise because he himself isn’t a surety to be played in the playing eleven. Ganguly may hesistate to take up the challenge considering what has happened in the past and his record with the board and the selectors. The problem with Kumble is that the selectors may just over look him looking at the fact that at most he may playt for another year or so.
