Second option is Laxman as his is also a sure selection as a Test Batsman, he is respected by Team mates and is only 32 years and has lead Hyderabad as well.
The options are limited.Dravid / Tendulkar dont want Captaincy because Dravid knows there is too much Mumbai politics involved, Tendulkar anyway was a BIG failure the first time he was Captain and if Ganguly is Captain there will be a lot of Politics between players, with only Ganguly's favourites being given importance.

Yuvraj is not even sure of a place in the Test XI.
So, only options are Dhoni without Gloves OR Laxman (though even he is a sweet, simple guy so may not last long with our egoistic seniors like Ganguly / Tendulkar/Zaheer.
