when dravid made captain team was broken ship and ranked NO8th in ICC rankingnow even after so many defeats it is ranked NO 6th( till yesterday's varified)
dravid is still No 12th in odi ranking
.
Indian captains in ODIs
Names Matches Won Lost Drawn/Tied Won%
Kapil Dev 74 40 32 2 54.05%
M Azharuddin 173 89 76 6/2 51.45%
SR Tendulkar 73 23 43 6/1 31.51%
SC Ganguly 146 76 65 5 52.05%
R Dravid 65 33 28 4 50.77%
dravid led team lesser no of matches and winning average is only 1.22% less than ganguly's success as captain b'cuz ganguly had advantage of leading team more nos of mathces and more lengthier period. Ganguly had god father called dalmiya and full support of bcci but dravid is criticized by chief slectore board officials etc%u2026
India team early exit is b%u2019cuz of dirty negative criket played delebartely by some senior player and chappell had guts to raise issue all senior players are responsible for WC debacle. Some players deliberately played negative cricket and gifted match to Bangladesh.IF players wer not ready to support team cause or captian, why blame captain and coach??
Many ppl say dravid is not inspirational captain and ganguly had that spark
If players has to decide to play for team cause or self. And motivation /inspriration can be attained by self attempt ( by positive thinking and right mindset) captain can only tell but individual player has to believe in self strength. In big event like WC if players can get motivated to play negative cricket why can%u2019t they inspire to play for team???
