resignation of Mr. Rahul Dravid as captain of Indian team has come due to internal rivalaries in team as well as the BCCI. Mr. Dravid has no chice but to rsign because it was a Board and its Selection Committee inspired coup against Mr. Dravid. immediately on leakage of his resignation people close to the power to be virtually nominated a senior player as next captain despite his pooer record as captain,totally ignoring records of other player,who has been the best captain so far Indian cricket has produced.This shows that Bombay lobby has triumphed in disgracing a fine player and will be able to put a player as new captain whose record as a captain is absymal.
A good example of desperate journalism. You can make people read the article with such misleading headline, but in the end it leaves a bad taste even though the article might be good. Wake up rediff, before u lose your credibility totally

Absolutely. Now Rediff is also going the the way of sensationalist journalism. Infact you guys have taken the comment completely out of context and made the readers lool like fools.
Grow up guys.
You reap what you sow. aybe something similar might happe to you.
By the way many articles on rediff are appearing nowadays with such misleading headlines to sell a story.
This post is the most vunerable for any Indian player who becomes captain of the Indian Cricket team. As an captain Dravid was good. He gave support to young players but fail to succumb the wrath of the opposite players when they used SLEDGING against India. He never expressed his aggressiveness against any of the team. Sometimes this in expressiveness creates weakness among fellow players. Same way Ganguly was aggressive in his playing approach which would give players more inspiration.The game of cricket should be played with aggressiveness & sledging should be answered in same way it was given. So i think Dravid made right decision here by giving up when his book records were slightly good then others. I think India needs an aggressive captain ( may be Yuvraj or Dhoni).Even though the team loses they will still inspire with their aggressivesness rather than Dravid biting his nails & walking down to pavilion by putting his head down.

Then God help Indian cricket. Only boxers can lead the team as per your listed qualifications.
Cricket is business run by monopolistc forces in India. Can any one tell me how many matches played by Borde and how many centuries done. I know him as a person on the board
Chandu borde was one of the best batsman during his time and played more than 50 tests and even led in few also.. He is one of 20-25 guys who have played more than 50 tests for india
didnt anyone get an apt heading for the interview.. this is mis-interpretation of the facts disregard to one of the best cricketing captains India has had.. Learn to repsect others dignity before promoting your website ..

Sorry Kumar there is no need to understand why he is in.I hope yoy that he is from Bombay.And I think bcoz this reason Dravid might have resigned(being forced to select him play always,everywhere,anywhere).He is by default gets nod ahead of other players.Ajit Agrakar is most luckier than anoybody in the world even more than Sachin.

It is Okay if Rediff had put the complete sentence as a Heading of the topic; But such a nice statement had been curtailed to rediff's bane. This is a real cheap play.
Are the rediff editors sleeping on their cozy chairs? Dumb asses!
Yes I feel the media played a very flamboyant role in demoralising the thinking process of the Captain and misguided the indian gullibles to such an extent that the comments faced by the family and relatives have pushed Dravid enough to make such a decision. Apart from this there seems to be some thing hidden in the entire story which is going aroung as far as the sudden decision is concerned.

I really do think this is some Sachin hater. But we all know Sachin is the greatest batsman we have ever produced. Nobody has performed as Sachin has for India. Please stop bashing poor Sachin for this.
Whaqt cheap gimmicks adotpted by Rediff .The tittle is one item and the body is another .There is alsolutely no correalation - and it is not sequential . Rediff editors please wake up and dont be carried away with yellow journalism .India and Indians have woken up .This is the new age .
