Bhajji should be made the captain
by amit mishra on Apr 02, 2007 09:39 PM

Over the last few years, bhajji had been our best bowler shouldering the responsibility as the leading wicket taker. He performed admirably well when he was the only spinner in the team, or when he was paired with part time bowlers like sharandeep singh.
But whenever he is paired with a slightly better than a club cricket bowler like Powar, he loses his confidence and bowls miserably. He possibly knows he does not deserve to be in indian team and is afraid that if powar is in the team Harbhajan may be dropped. But since he took a hat-trick against the aussies, he should be included in the team, as per the management. but then india plays with 10 players for last 1 year. So the best solution is make him captain. he would stop any other spinner to make his debut for the next 20 years and atleast play better than a school kid with his confidence sky high.
Besides it solves the perenial problem of who should be captain for the next 20-30 years. Anyways the amount of agility and the kind of fielder he is, i think even at 60 he would be able to maintain the same.
