India Cricket News - Two Captain System - Does It Work In India
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has become appointed captain of India for 3 one-day's against Australia in home based series. Dhoni, who will be the captain of India's Twenty20 squad in South Africa, has been tipped to take over as captain since Rahul Dravid announced his resignation.
The captain for test team is yet to be announce by BCCI in case reports are to believed than test captaincy will go to Sachin Tendulkar. Actually India will likely continue with the two captain system for now.
Two captain system is going to be adopted very first time that by India although it may be successful around australia during times of 2002 Ricky Ponting was created Sooner or later captain and Steve Waugh was test captain.
Nowadays England can also be following your same system. Michel Vaughan is test captain and Paul Collingwood is handling One Day side.
Dhoni, who was the vice-captain of your ODI team within the tour to England, creates his mark since his arrival in international cricket in December 2004. He's got scored 2477 runs in 84 ODIs at an average of 44.23 plus a strike rate of 96.26. His highest score, an unbeaten 183 against Sri Lanka in 2006, is usually a record for just a wicketkeeper as well as record for runs scored with a batsman while chasing. Dhoni had also occupied the top part batsman's spot inside ICC one-day rankings in April 2006.
In world twenty20 Dhoni in addition has proved his skills as skipper especially in match against Pakistan. But that is twenty20, ODI is entirely different ball game.
On other hand if Tendulkar accepts test captaincy it are going to be his third inning as Captain of India. They have already led India in 25 Tests winning four, drawing nine and losing 12. While in the ODIs, too, he doesn't possess a great captaincy record.
From the 73 matches that Tendulkar led India in, the c's lost 43, winning 23 other matches while six ended with out a result with one tie. When last time Tendulkar resigned from captaincy he was quoted saying that they won't accept captaincy again. But this time he seems as if ready correctly.
However right now absolutely suit will this two captain system work with India. In India players are stars and will also stop easy for Dhoni to take care of them particularly when they're inexperienced in handling the captaincy. More problems which can discovered Dhoni will probably be coordinating with giants like Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid on one side and youngsters on other side. For Tendulkar the main problem will be to get support from senior players. As reports are coming that seniors were not supporting Dravid, exactly the same problem will arise for Tendulkar also. But considering positive side each captaincy system, this may also come good because it can give enough time to groom Dhoni as good leader.
According to ex cricketer Navjot Sidhu if we adopt every thing from Australian system then why not two captain policy. Australia had proved that it was a good move and that's why Ponting is the best captain today.
Well we as Indian cricket fan also hope that this system may work and we will have a good and aggressive, thinking captain who will lead India in 2011 world cup.
