When Dravid relinquished captaincy, many in this forum blamed Sachin for this and wrote that Sachin wanted captaincy and he along with the selectors were responsible for Dravid's resignation. But he proved them wrong by declining captaincy. Had he been selfish, he would have accepted the post because he would be the captain for atleast 2 yrs and his position in the team in both the forms of cricket would also have been safe. But he didn't do it. This is his way of showing his protest to the selectors and the board for the way they have treated Saurav and Dravid and also to silence the people who say that he is selfish.
