If Tendulkar intends to last a few seasons more in Indian cricket, then, rejecting the Captaincy is the best step forward for him. Also, if India wants to construct a good captain for future and for the world cup ahead, then a new captain is better. Tendulkar must be form of the team so that the next few seasons are used as a learning curve for youngsters.. There can be no better training than being a team mate. Even a coach cannot dispense as much knowledge as a teammate can......right down on the pitch, with tendulkar at the non strikers end,,,, he is the closest to give batting tips on a ball to ball basis to his partner. As a non striker a youngster is best positioned to see Tendulkar batting. Can a coach do this?? Tendulkar has a lot of batting left in him...... One cannot expect a half centry or a century from him in every innings..... if he did that, he would become Michael Schumacher of Cricket.
He has taken a good decision... he can concentrate on his cricket and personal life better by being a team player.......
Captaincy would have sounded end of his career. He has enjoyed being the captain.......now is the time for him to gracefully score runs......
