Hi Sourav, this is your old buddy Dipanjan from the college days. I do recognize you from the name, and also for the immense passion you still hold for players like Sachin, Sourav and Dravid. Dude, I too used to shout a lot with you for these players long back, when they were having the best of their times, but you need to understand that its been several years now that they are playing, and literally, they are "Old" now and we cannot expect the same level of performance from them any more as they used to exhibit atleast 5 years back. We all respect them and undoubtedly admit that they are the best things ever to happen in the history of the game, but at the same, we do believe that they are past their golden times and the clear wall writing is sooner or later, these players need to call it a day. They should not have the same fate as Kapil had under the captaincy of Azhar. Fortunately for Dravid, he is still the captain but the question is, for how long. Definitely when India is going to perform miserably in the World Cup (I am pretty sure of this and no Sourav, Sachin or Dravid would come ib rescue of the team), captaincy might be taken off from Dravid and if selectors really have the proper foresight, they need to assign the responsibility to a young blood who can take the control and lead for a long time. The captaincy must not be given back to Sachin or Sourav at any time. They need to be only senior members of the team till the time they retire. Believe me, only this will help India build a very strong and stable team.
So, don't get too sentimental as you always do. Instead try to read the situation and put in your thoughts.
