By turning down the offer of captaining India, Tendulkar did a yeomen service to Indian Cricket. Otherwise it would have been disaster for team India considering Sachin's poorest record as Captain. By snubbing Marathi lobby, Sachin proved his credentials as Indian. Dhoni ko captan banao, woh dholage opposition ko.

What do you mean by snubbing marathi lobby? Tendulkar is a maharashtrian.He may turned down the captaincy for other reasons , so no need to bring in regional colours in this issue.Idiots like u are only making this country worst

First he says he wants to be now he says he doesnt want to be! Thank God, he is not the Captain, else this indecisiveness would have killed India. best bet now: Laxman/Kumble but would the Mumbai Lobby headed by the dreaded Vengi and Powar come to pass it that easily? They would want to attach a few strings for sure!

By turning down the offer of captaining India, Tendulkar did a yeomen service to Indian Cricket. AND By turning down the offer to become prime minister of India, Sonia did a yeomen service to Indian Politics. Why you know? Both are not eligible or capable for that post.
