It is too early to give the responsibility of test captaincy to Dhoni. He has already stated that he is too tired because of too many matches. It is better Anil Kumble to take over the captaincy in tests as he is cool and intelligent person. Dhoni should be rested for Tests as Dinesh Karthik is readily available to keep wickets and open the innings. Dhoni should be fresh when India tours Australia and play ODIs with Sri Lanka and Australia. Dhoni's place could be given to Badrinath or Manoj Tiwary in Tests.
RE:Captaincy for Kumble

Raam, i am amazed! Why on earth would you like to rest dhoni in the test matches. He has been doing quite well as a captain, has a young side who respects him and this is the time to see how he performs as a captain in test matches. But yes, if the selectors do not want to make him captain for whatever reasons, we could definitely try out kumble if not sourav. Kumble is a very positive player and a highly committed one at that.
