IS DHONI THE RIGHT CHOICE TO HEAD OUR CRICKET TEAM? - VOICE YOUR VIEWS
Yuvraj shines

There is little doubt that Dhoni deserves to be captain, but I feel he should have been given the honour after a couple of years. Right now, my choice is Yuvraj Singh, because he is in form, and is senior.

K. Jimmy ...


Proved right

Some years ago, when young Graeme Smith was made captain of the South African side, eyebrows were raised. The appointment was made overlooking the claims of some of the seniors in the side. But, he has proved his mettle. I visualise a similar ...


Training needed

Dhoni has proved himself in the 20-20 format, and is good captain material. But, he should have been trained before he was given charge of the one-day cricket side. He should have been made vice-captain, before being promoted as head. ...


Change attitude

As long as we win matches, Dhoni will be everyone’s favourite. But, we must understand that a good captain is but one of the factors that decides a match’s fate. As a nation, we must change our attitude to the game, and learn to ...


Handling seniors

Dhoni is able to keep his cool in pressure situations, as was evident during the recent T 20 World Cup and the series with Australia. Despite having four senior players, including three former captains, in the team, he has handled them well. ...


Captain material

Tremendous talent, performance, keeping calm under pressure and commitment make M S Dhoni a perfect captain.

Aggressive

Dhoni is an aggressive batsman, skilful wicket keeper and efficient captain.

He truly deserves to be captain.

Quick learner

Agreed, Dhoni lacks experience. But, a player like him needs little time to pick up the nuances of captaincy.

Rekindles spirit

Dhoni is the best choice, for he has rekindled the spirit of the Indian cricket team.

And, he has continued to perform on the field.
