Sunil Gavaskar says break will do wonders for Dhoni – Cricket News Update
Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Manohar-Gavaskar-c91863,
believes that taking a break from captaincy will help Dhoni put things into perspective ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
“It's still early days as far as 2015 World Cup is concerned but I believe that a break in captaincy will do wonders for Dhoni. I am not saying that it has to happen during the middle of a series but may be after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 series or later part of 2013.
We need to have a look at that,” shared Gavaskar.
Ever since becoming the World Champions in 2011, the Indian side has been disappointing overall. Whitewashed in away Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and then Australia (8-0), followed by a home defeat at the hands of the Englishmen earlier this month (2-1),
has put the leadership of Dhoni (who led the team to World Cup Glory in 2011) under question.
The side's poor run is not confined to the longest format only. Limited-over competitions, like the Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series, the Asia Cup and the World T20 have also witnessed weak showing by the Men in Blue.
Naming the right-handed batsman, Virat Kohli, as the right choice to succeed Dhoni as captain, the veteran Indian batsman believes, “I could be wrong but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-Michael-Lamb-c94061 Pataudi in his captaincy. If he knows that he will be appointed
for long term, he has the dynamism, the aggression, panache and class.”
He also added that it was time for the World Champions to have an Indian coach or someone like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742 expires following Australia’s tour to India next year.
India is scheduled to play Pakistan later today for the final T20I in the short series. Bagging a Win today at Ahmedabad will allow http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to draw the 2-match series 1-1, which will, for now, ease up pressure on the Indian skipper MS Dhoni, ahead of 3 ODIs.
