Indian-Cricket is not done with test series vs Pakistan and even bigger test - Australian test & tri-series tour is coming up for Team India.

In the middle, there was a question that who should captain Indian team after Rahul Dravid too opted to rest capatainship recently. Sachin Tendulkar! The one name always comes up when Indian cricket looks for captain, but fact is - Sachin lost 9 of the test matches he captained and won only 4.

We general cricket fans don't understand what it actually takes to be a successful captain at International level, but Sachin rarely captained his Mumbai team. After two failed litmus test, its honest Sachin that's ruling out any chances of third faliure.

Yes, he might have improved his record as captain of India, but Sachin knows his limitations. And although I myself too wrote for Sachin to take up the captainship - I understand the situations & look forward to watching Sachin just as a match winning batsman of Team India.

Question remains - who should captain India in Test matches? or better question would be - what's wrong with Dhoni in first place. Jharkhand boys id doing great job with ODI team & he deserved his chances.

Lets discuss Indian test captain options in Itsonlycricket.com forums before selectors name towards the end of 2nd India vs Pakistan ODI at Mohali.

Previewing, possibily, the series of the year
