captaincy myth
when dravid made captain team was broken ship and ranked NO8th in ICC rankingnow even after so many defeats it is ranked NO 6th( till yesterday's varified)
dravid is still No 12th in odi ranking
.
Indian captains in ODIs

Names       Matches       Won       Lost       Drawn/Tied       Won%

Kapil Dev             74       40      32       2       54.05%
M Azharuddin             173       89       76       6/2       51.45%
SR Tendulkar        73       23       43       6/1       31.51%
SC Ganguly             146      76      65 &nbs p;    5      52.05%
R Dravid              65      33       28       4       50.77%
dravid led team lesser no of matches and winning average is only 1.22% less than ganguly's success as captain b'cuz ganguly had advantage of leading team more nos of mathces and more lengthier period. Ganguly had god father called dalmiya and full support of bcci but dravid is criticized by chief slectore board officials etc%u2026
India team early exit is b%u2019cuz of dirty negative criket played delebartely by some senior player and chappell had guts to raise issue all senior players are responsible for WC debacle. Some players deliberately played negative cricket and gifted match to Bangladesh.IF players wer not ready to support team cause or captian, why blame captain and coach??
Many ppl say dravid is not inspirational captain and ganguly had that spark
If players has to decide to play for team cause or self. And motivation /inspriration can be attained by self attempt ( by positive thinking and right mindset) captain can only tell but individual player has to believe in self strength. In big event like WC if players can get motivated to play negative cricket why can%u2019t they inspire to play for team???

were not ready to play for team cause, then how can captain
Ganguly%u2019s media ageing singing one song dravid chapelll should go sachin should retire and ganguly should be captain and yuvraj make VC
After his come back ganguly is playing for self to save his wkt and cement his place not even one performance did not for team cause. He is selfish oppertuinst and promote groupism no media makes noise about his dadagiri. Ganguly did not return with team, but when he arrived next day he was not in team uniform but some channel was highlighting it was warm return attitude%u2026.etc.. whole team is responsible for loss and why coach and captain made scapegoat
If captain and coach has to go then sachin ganguly sewag zahirkahn harban, dhoni also be out of team

sunil gavaskar, kapildev, A gaikwad, GR vishwanath, chetan chauhan, kiran more, have supported dravid continue as captian
