I have been going through a lot of msgs on this captaincy issue of late. Some people say Dada shud be brought back, some say it shud go to Laxman or Kumble and some say give it to Dhoni. First, we dont have any rights to comment, since there are people already assigned to make this decesion. But I were to give my opinion on this, it would be Dhoni. Cmon guys, Tendulkar was never a captaincy material. He is the best batsman in the world, but I dont think he can take the responsibility of being a good captain. As for Dada, I dont think he shud agree to being a captain after all that has happened to him in the past. For me, I wud have luved to see the Indians playin under him. He is a natural leader, but his time has gone. Besides he will be playin only for a couple of years to the most, so India needs to groom a new player for the post and have the likes of Ganguly and Dravid guiding him while they are stil playin for India. Laxman and Kumble, cmon guys they are no captaincy material. Both are not regular features in One Day team, and i dont see them continuing to be a part of the Test Team either. So the only person who feets the role is Dhoni. People say he is too young to take the added responsibility. Cmon when Graeme Smith was made the captain of the SA team, he was not even a regular in the team and see where he has matured as a player and a captain. I feel Dhoni is a much better player than him. And he has shown what he is capable of by getting us the T20 WC as well

To add to that, Dhoni is a young aggresive player, mostly like what Ganguly was when he became the captain of the team. So, am sure he has the temperment to go the distance. And i fell with seniors in the side, this is the correct time to groom him.
