Well All we seen that in IPL-5 KKR team lead by GG win the Tournment after beating CSK team which lead by dhoni. well now i see GG is not very happy after wining the IPL-5 and it seem some thing is going in his mind, when BCCI president say Virat Kholi is appoint as vice captain which is in under GG and also Dhoni comment their is some members which is very slow in field, as well as some rotation policy and some time opening in team India batting. Well After win IPL-5 GG now reply all the answer of above question why he is so gambhir, why he is not suitable for indian cricket team captaincy.

Frankly speaking, I doubted Gautam Gambir after he lost his wicket that he has fixed the match...why? because: 1. He was not happy or encouraged even after his own team was playing better than CSK. 2. After first break, he was still dull, even though his team was playing good enough to beat CSK. 3. After second strategic break, when his team was much ahead CSK run rate, he was still biting his nails like as he will lost something if his team will win... 4. All was going well, but his face was like he has been prepared to lose the match... 5. Even when they win...I have seen, he was not that happy....maybe 10 crore were much less than the amount people get when they have been sold by match fixers.... In my opinion, KKR played well, they had strategy which they never revealed...why? now that's a puzzle....and I believe this is because of "GG" as they say -- one man is enough to ensure defeat, and that too "GG" more than enough...at that stage he had 588 run in IPL....why should we buy anyone else when one person is enough to change the fate of game? but luckily, other players played well, especially Jack Callis....salute to him He was the real player that night and had played major role in victor of KKR...Bisla was guided by him and was playing on his instinct and Callis allowed him to do whatever he was doing while securing his wicket till the end.... Really, I do not think that Gautam Gambir is ideal player to become Indian captain.... Note: Dhoni has all the qualities of captain....did you see how he was taking time between each and every ball....that is the way to increase pressure on the opposite team...while you are all 11 on field and they are just 2 and your are planning/discussing/commenting after each and every ball...real tactics...

If you doubt gambir for match fixing then you have to doubt dhoni too. When KKR was scoring in good rate, he never tried to use raina- the bowler he always use as a partnership breaker and to make run rate of opponent down. He also not even given the ball to jadeja who as the ability to ball yorkers and some times takes wickets and keeps things tight. dhoni was going with the bowlers who were expensive and giving runs at a rate of more than 10 per over. For some run out chances, i felt dhoni was not so energetic and want to make them out. Usually as a keeper, his performance during run out chances was much better.

Well Nishant5 Can u tell me after wining the tournament why GG is so unhappy as you seen his smile while wining the toffy... Because he didn't take IPL for proof himself but also proof his captaincy. while on the other hand all we say that ipl-5 is fully fixed so many reason and comment like CSK luck or Dhoni Luck, second final will played in Chennai while his home team is not in final most of the people not arrive to stadium to see the match... well all we indian just see the thing and forget him but happen next, so can u provide some evidence to proof that this final match as well as all match is fixed, I know never, all we just talk and talk and nothing....

Gautham gambir proved that he has a good captaining skill and he lead from the front. he takes the responsibility and put the team forward. I believe he should be the next captain option. now some of the cricket leagents like ganguly told that he should be appointed as the captain for the test. I think that is a good suggestion as India faces consecutive defeats in test for last few months and the technique of dhoni was criticized alot.

Gautam Gambhir has definitely pulled one over Dhoni. Unfortunately, he will have to wait for Dhoni to give up captaincy for him to become the captain. Or he can take over if and when Dhoni is rested or injured. On the long run though, I think Virat will be taking over from Dhoni. Cheers! Ram

In my opinin, gambhir is agood choice to be the captain of Indian team in test matches. It was in test matches that Indian team was performing badly in recent times. Also Dhoni have mentioned that it is very pressurising for him in the test matches to lead. Also remember that even though Gambhir led India in only 6 ODI matches his win percentage is 100. Therefore I think he can well replace Dhoni in test match captaincy.

surely Gambhir and Dhoni both are good captains but no need to hurry to make Gambhir as indian captain. But surely, if Dhoni is not the captain then, it should be Gambhir. I strongly disagree to give vice captaincy to virat, while Dhoni and Gambhir is in the team. I would say Dhoni and Gambhir have equal priority to become Indian captain. Then comes virat. And its up to BCCI to select captain and team.

Gambhir has been in poor form in International cricket from long, only good innings he played for India in last 1 and a half years was in world cup final.On what basis he should be made captain that too of a test team? He did well in IPL but with all its glamor and money ,the quality of cricket played in IPL is low as compared to level of international cricket .

ok is something wrong with everyone.either they go for a player who shows no emotion whatsoever or they go for a player who is a loose cannon. cant they find someone on the middle ground, like shane warne.lively enough to encourage the bowlers but mellow enough to keep things under control. personally i wont go with gambhir as captain material.i hardly saw any inspiring field placing from him.he hardly controls himself.he doesnt have the tact either.

I think BCCI should consider gambir as the next captain option for Indian team. i think he lead the Indian team for some matches and his performance as the captain was good. In this IPL also he proved that he have a good captaining brain. the way he used narine was really good and with his bowling line up ( not so great compared to most of other teams) he was able to restrict the opponents to small scores many times. i dont find any negative points in his captaincy.

Yeah i second your choice that GG should be given a chance to be vice captain of Indian team and captain Indian team if Dhoni's not available. He has shown great spirit and agressiveness being a captain which showed completely in IPL-5. BCCI should take a note of his captaincy skills...
