In the aftermath of the defeat of India in Australia, a public outcry and ask heads role as captain MS Dhoni is under scrutinyroll was expected. And India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was forced to be at the top of the list of those who are desperate for some strong action after eight defeats were disgraceful and shameful.
It was just a matter of time before Dhoni captaincy came under the scanner and sure enough, there were reports that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating splitting the captaincy of Virender Sehwag - to test the games - and Dhoni - for ODIs and T20S.
Or not such a movement is underway, the basic idea of having two captains, especially after Dhoni made it clear in Australia that he does not see lasting in all three formats for a long time may not be the worst move, according to the former India coach Anshuman Gaekwad and Madan Lal. "Looking Dhoni's point of view, it could be relieved. Handling three formats of the game, on top of the wicket-keeping day after day, he did it all. It (being relieved of the captaincy test) could be a blessing in disguise" Gaekwad told MAIL TODAY on Sunday.
"However, to blame him for the disaster in England and Australia would be unfair Dhoni. After every defeat, we have a tendency to blame the captain and coach. What were the rest of the players doing? When Dhoni spoke about his future plans on the eve of Perth Test, he was just talking. People accuse him of losing interest, but I think he is simply feeling helpless after performances like this. "
For Madan, it was time for the heavy workload was reduced Dhoni. "Dhoni should be relieved of the captaincy of the test. He has done very well in all formats and over the years. If you take charge of the Test captaincy away from him, he can be charged and a good performance. However, I never would take the Test arena as I feel he is still a game winner at No. 7, "he told MAIL TODAY.
Interestingly, Madan felt Sehwag was not the best choice for captaincy test. According to the former all, Sachin Tendulkar should be handed the reins until the day he decides to hang up his boots, to rebuild the team. "What have you done Sehwag as captain? If you want to make a new captain, not just put anyone in that place. Viru has hit very well in test cricket, but that does not mean he is captaincy material testing. I feel Sachin should be given the task of rebuilding the team. Even if he wants to play for 6-10 months, I would like him to give something back to Indian cricket in the form of 2-3 young people ready, "opined Madan.
With the transition to work together, Gaekwad said that since India would be playing in the subcontinent for nearly two years, young people could be gradually brought in. However, Madan warned that this transition would take a long time. "It will take at least 3-4 years to revive the team. This was the best team we had and they lost so badly. It will take a long time," he said.
