Tendulkar is wise in refusing the mantle of test captain. At this stage of his career, he better be concentrating on his batting and would like to bow out of cricket on a high note. Also we all know that record suggests that as a captain, Tendulkar had not fared well and in the process risked his batting performances which now he cannot afford.Anyway a good batsman need not be a good captain. We should allow Tendulkar to be what he wants to remain at this stage of his carrer. In my opinion Dhoni alone should be a best choice. He has demonstrated lot of valour and character in his leadership.He is young man with lot of time on his side. We should allow him to grow and mature. Greme Smith of South Africa is an examble before all of us.
