Dhoni as ODI captain is a good gamble by BCCI. For quite sometime, Indian ODI team was presenting a stale picture. Same old style of play and same old theories for defeat and very similar score cards!! It very much needed a fresh air and new and dynamic thinking. Whether he succeeds or not, Dhoni will infuse some new thinking, unless the senior and adament players under him have their way.
Now that Dhoni is ODI captain, it is very much necessary to make somebody not in the ODI team to be the captain of the test team. Otherwise, if Dhoni has to manage a person in ODI team who happens to be his captain in Test team, all sorts of ego clashes happen, further pulling down the team and performance. It may lead to groupism again in the team. Given this scenario, either VVS or Kumble would be apt choice for Test captaincy. Sachin can lead test team if he quits ODIs now.
