Dhoni willing to give up captaincy, if there is a better option – Cricket News Update
Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, has said that he always gives his best as captain of the national team but has offered the selectors to hand over the reigns to someone better, if there is one.
The Indian cricket team has been under massive criticism since the last six months, as the Men in Blue have endured two whitewashes at the hands of England and Australia. India in the not so distant past was ranked as the No.1 Test team of the world, and
cricket analysts were predicting that India would challenge Test powerhouses such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. This has turned out to be a fallacy.
Dhoni who is one of the most successful captains of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 has come under fire. Under his leadership the Indian team has faced massive defeats, while his captaincy has been lacklustre, and devoid of any innovations in the face of adversary.
The wicketkeeper/batsman feels that captaining India is an honour and claimed that he has always given his best, but Dhoni admitted that one cannot take this position for granted and if there is a better option, he should be given a chance.
Dhoni said, "It's just a position I hold. It's something I'll always look to do well till I am in the job. It's not something I want to hold on to or http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 on to. If there's a better replacement, it's a very open thing. He can come in. At the end of the
day you want India to perform.”
The Indian captain also faced media criticism for stating during the series that he may call it quits from Test cricket after 2013. Dhoni clarified later by saying that there is a plethora of competitive cricket these days in a calendar year, and for this
reason it is not possible to play cricket at the international level for an extended period of time, as compared to the past.
"Maybe by 2013 I'll have to. It is two years away, and the kind of cricket we are playing - IPL, 45 days; Champions League; and back-to-back series; lots of games,” he added.
