How could one forget Dada’s silken touch & glorious innings with so much ease ?It’s really ridiculous to ignore someone who has done really wonders for Indian cricket.How could everyone forget those days when Team India was crawling under the bookies shadow & a gloom of uncertainty was prevailing among the Team members & Sourav took the reins to lead India into glory.If Yubraj, Kaif, Pathan, Zaheer, Bhaji are stars today, they should attribute their success to Sourav.Is not it ?Already an enviable record as captain , I suppose hardly ever could an Indian could emulate that feat.One could imagine from the fact that Gavasker had two overseas win under his belt while dada had already notched up 11 test wins.
Although Dada had not so much success in the ODI, yet his captaincy was instrumental in taking India into the last world cup finals.Everyone speaks about his current form.but one should remember that form is temporary while class is permanent.Every star player like sachin, lara, dravid went through a lean phase in their career.So sourav is no exception.He will roar back soon.no one could match his attacking attributes.India needs such type of captaincy who can take the game back to opposition.Its true that Indians boasts a forgetting tendency.Another fine innings from Sourav will surely prove the detractors wrong.
A captain is such a material who does not wait for things to happen but makes it happen.sourav is a such type.So it would be really wrong on the part of management to remove him from the position of captaincy at this juncture.No one should forget that Sourav is the 2nd highest rungetter in ODI after Sachin.Atleast he should be kept atleast till 2007 world cup.In short no dravid nor sehwag can fill the captaincy slot . It’s only Sourav & no one else.
