About retaining Dravid as the captain, Kapil said: %u201CWhy are we forgetting that this is the same Rahul Dravid who led India to victory while chasing 17 matches in a row, setting a new record. Why did not anybody question his captaincy then?

Gavaskar who was of the view that Dravid should continue as the captain despite the World Cup debacle.

"Rahul is 34 and you do not sack captains at 34 when they are peaking. I don't see any reason for a change because Dravid has not shown any sign of pressure. His batting has not faltered", he said.

The man who was sacked as coach after India%u2019s 1999 World Cup disappointment, calls for patience
The first thing to do now is to stick with Rahul Dravid as captain. He is a good leader and the best available option in the current circumstances. The other options could be Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh. http://mid-day.com/sports/international/2007/march/154192.htm
