It's a great decision. He should have been kicked out from the captaincy from 2nd edition itself. Now if he still acts and doesn't behave kick him out of the team. nobody is bigger than the team.
After Laxman and Dravid were axed as captain, performance of RCB and DC was suberb. But same can't be said of KKR. I think the decision to appoint Sangakara as captain of KXP is good. Yuvraj is too arrogant and immature to think or act like a captain. I think Mumbai Indians also need to act fast and change their captain. The team performed well under Pollock, and Tendulkar was never known to be a good captain. But their problem is if not Tendulkar then who?

zaheer khan, he has a great cricketing mind. Dhoni always take suggestions from zaheer b4 making any bowling changes.
This is really bad , when Yuvraj is performing well why they have to change him as a skipper? This is a insult of Yuvraj to play in India in Indian Premier League under foreign captain.

What insult? Tell me. Bring the facts. Don't give a statement. Tell me the strategies that worked for his team. He is a good player. No doubt.Is he a good captain?

In any case, foreign captains succeeding in IPL less. Take the example KKR. After Macullum's failure they have rightly gone back to Ganguly. Bangalore have rightly choosen Kumble ahead of Kallis. The result is there for everyone to see.
Only Warne & Gilchrist succeeded. The reasons: 1) Both are of exceptional talents 2) When they both started, their teams were at bottom with least expectations.
