Should Dhoni captain the test squad?

Question

If yes...plz explain.

If no...give reason

Do you think he's capable of captaining the Indian test side?

Answer 1

yes! hes too good , he know how to take maximize from players. and very positive person

Answer 2

I would like to retain Anil for some more time, till we know that Anil has nothing to offer to Indian cricket. Until then, I would like Veeru to be the vice-captain after which Veeru should take over the test captaincy. Dhoni should play in test side only as a keeper. However, in ODI, Veeru should play only a player.  

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

I have a diff opinion. It has nothing to do with capabilities. Dhoni has proved to be a good ODI Captain and may do well in Tests.

I think he should be allowed to concentrate on developing a good ODI team. We want a top class Team India for ODI. ODI means important tournaments. He can take the young with him. Including Yuvi.

The Tests should be left to some seniors who are still capable of playing. the Seniors can develop some youngsters along with them. Very few have Test experience.

That way we can have 2 Captains working side by side with a little healthy competition that will do them good. As a start, for example, Sehwag can be a good Captain after Kumble.

Moreover, it removes the "Senior" problem with Dhoni.

Too much wicket keeping will make Dhoni tired out. It is not like other players fielding. A wicket keeper needs constant concentration. 5-Day of that will be too much for a Captain *** wicket keeper.



In short, Dhoni should remain only an ODI team Captain and win for India.

Answer 5

After a couple of years, yes. I think he handles the pressure well. Usually, Indian players tends to show a dip in their form, when made captain; but MSD do not exhibit such a dip.

Answer 6

He is capable to handle captaincy even for test matches but I would like Sehwag to captain the test side after Anil Kumble. The frequency of matches has increased a lot which would amount to more stress for the players. He should concerntrate on ODi's & T20's.

Answer 7

he should be...... as he tries to do something different and remain calm in tensed situations.

Answer 8

yes, he has done well with the side at the moment. I think there is a level of inconsistency, when there are two captains. So yes, they should give him a chance!

Answer 9

Yes
