Out of form and out of team Saurav Ganguly is back and Rahul Dravid is having injury. Laxman is selected as vice capatain of Indian team and mostly become the acting captain. Do you think Sachin Tendulkar should be captain of India team with his experience and maturity of making correct decision? Who do you think should be the captain of Indian team? Since no player is in good form right now capatancy might be turned out to be a burden for him. I think if Sachin Tendulkar is given captancy he might be able to handle the pressure and able to motivate the team

No, sachin tendulkar can not be the captain of india.When he was earlier made captain after the 1996 world cup, he was not able to handle captaincy and he became out of form too.I think ganguly is the best choice for indian team, he has earlier also handled the captaincy very effectively.During his captaincy indian team won many watches and the team india was in never in such a pathetic condition like this before.I hope that the team india will welcome the sourav ganguly with warmth and will not ignore him. and ganguly should play well and make team india

I will like Sachin tendulkar to be a high scoring batsman. For captancy Ganguly is better choice.

If sachin is given the chance of captaincy, then it would definetely add more pressure on him which would affect his performence and we have seen this in the past when he was made as a captain.The indian team depends on him a lot and if he fails as a captain and as a player, then the indian team would definetely struggle.

what you have said is absolutely true mate..the only person with the experience and skill to lead the Indian team is Sachin..Kumble is a good choice but he does not have a confirmed place in the 11's...Leaving the captain out in half the matches looks awkward is'n't it???

I think he is not a good captain.SAaurav is the good captain.

well in this case i think what u say is right. then other than sachin tendulkar no one else is better qualified or in other case the team management wants to consider sehwag as an option

With Sourav Ganguly as capatain Indian players are like tigers with the body language. They give what they get for staring as well as saying things back. I think in the past series Andrel Nel showed too much aggresive and it affect the mind set of players I think. I really Indian players should say one or two thing back at least some of the bowlers like asking to take a challenge of stare back. I don't know if Sourav Ganguly will be back to ODI team. I really hope he will be back to team with good form especially during the World Cup season.

No way. He should paly it with his spirit and forcefully making him the captain will put him in stress and make him not to concentrate on his job.
