Every one is loving to take a shot on BCCI for appointing Dhoni as Captain of Indian Cricket Team. I wont interrupt their fun. But from what I have analysed, once Dravid resigned from captaincy, there was hardly any other feasible choice left. Had BCCI sacked Dravid and replaced him by Dhoni, the decision wud had been questionable, but here it was Dravid who himself opted out. After that,whatever we may think, there was not really much choice. Tendulkar had, over the years, repeatedly refused the post, and by his own statement,he is no more interested in playing all one days. Under any case BCCI wud had been labelled pro-maratha if he was selected. Ganguly, on other hand, is batting beautifully, and captaincy might have spoilt that again-a greater loss to team than expected gain. Yuvi, a prospective captian, has been a disappointing failure, both on and off the field, consiering the time and opportunity he got. Sehwag and Kaif, two more of potential stalwarts, fail to find even a place in the team. So what was the choice B? After all BCCI had to select a captain and Dhoni is first among equals in the meager no. of options left. True, he is inexperienced, he is imperfect, he does lack technique, but he is still better than powar, uththappa, gambhir, and chopra in experience atleast. We all know, the fate of next series will depend not on his captaincy but on forms of Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid. So..Cool down chaps!
