In any sphere or walk of life, grooming a youngster for leadership does not exisit in our mindset and social set up.
Let us talk about cricket. I have never seen (Sachin, Saurav, Dravid) taking feedbacks or involving vice-captain while they are on grounds, clearly tells that its the personality which works in India. Involving budding leaders in the decision making and making them believe that they belong there, makes a huge difference.
Mostly vice captain are fielded as sweeper cover or long on or long off. That's the pity. The insecurity cover in our mindset in general has lend us the situation where we have to directly put Dhoni under fire. He may succeed and best wishes for him. But the flip side of this is that he can be yet another Sehwag in the making.
Grroming for leadership does not mean making them leader straightaway.
We do not groom youngsters for potential leaders. This is a mindset defect. Otherwise, Dhoni could have been groomed with someone like Saurav/Sachin could have taken the lead and passed the batton over a period of few months.
I would have called that as playing for each other, playing for a cause and palying for the nation.
LET US WISH DHONI THAT THE LAG TIME FOR HIM TO PROVE HIMSELF AS LEADER IS NOT HUGE AND HE MAY BECOME THE LEADER INDIAN CRICKET LOVERS WANT IN REAL TERMS cheers

Give some body an oppurtunity.. in the first step he may fail.. keep faith in him, support him.. you may get a great Leader/ Performer
