Are the canny Indian selectors setting up Dhoni by making him the captain?? If he fails with the bat, his keeping is not good enough to merit a place in the team!! Are there vested interests that want to push him out and make Dinesh Karthick the keeper in the long run??
There is no other plausible explanation for bypassing Yuvraj and handing ovet the captaincy on a platter to Dhoni!! Yuvraj made his debut in 2000 and MSD made his in 2005!! This seems highly bizarre to me!! If you don't want one of the old brigade to captain the ODI side, you coulds atleast have gone with Yuvi or Sehwag or Harbhajan!! This might be the beginning of the end for Dhoni!! Cos if the intentions of the selectors were really noble, they would not have had Karthick in the team, snapping at the heels of Dhoni!! Anyday, you would want to go with an extra batsman like Rohit Sharma or Raina or even go with an allrounder like Yousuf Pathan or Joginder Sharma!! The selection of Karthick furtehr reinforces my thinking process that MSD is being set up nicely!! The day is not far off when he will be branded as a pure 20-20 cricketer!! With Karthick donning the gloves in Tests and Uthappa in ODIs!!
