look at last two away series - same is more true for Ghambir then. Ghambir averages 20 in Eng Aus vs Dhoni's 27 for the same series. check the facts before making useless arguments.
Fact is both of them are very much flat track bullies and Ghambir was even worse looking at his overall average compared to paltry away series avg against top teams ..

no wonder you are from Chennai can't agree to that. Dhoni's comment about slow movers came under sharp criticism for right reasons. He is questioning presence of big match winners in the team including Sehwag, and Gambhir when his own record in away series is the last thing he should be proud off. He has shown big biases in team selection and playing RP Singh is a classic example of giving favors to old friends. His body language that gave him captain cool title was no where to be seen in losing positions. Faulty filed placements, failing to inspire bowlers and fileders was evident. He misreably failed to keep the team together - an essential requirement for captain. It is time for him to go at least in tests. He is does not even deserve to be included in the team as a default player.
This Chennai super kings lobby has to be broken with BCCI head, cheif selector and India Captain from one IPL frenchise is an obevious conflict of interest case. Taking away wise captaincy from Gambhir for no apparent reason only because he is close to Sehwag and giving it to a kid on the block with bad attitude on field like Virat Kohli is also questionable.
I really don't understand why someone is raising this bogey just after one IPL series? So if Gambhir loses the next IPL, do we start calling for his resignation then? Typical behavior? Give time for Gambhir to mature in the role for a couple of years. If it is Kohli after Dhoni, so be it but we don’t need captaincy change every now and then.
Tests are irrelevant. IPL is the real cricket and where the money is. India reached the top ranking in all form of cricket, including test matches. Indian players and public are smart enough to lose complete interest in test matches. This is a big positive development. Who cares if Dhoni or Gambhir leads in tests?

ch-nandan test match is the real cricket because it completely tests all 11 players of one team.

Who cares for Boring&Poverty-producing and Useless TEST cricket,ramji criket,etc except the crooked westerners???Who cares for Boring and Poverty-producing and useless TEST CRICKET and Long duration ranji&duleep trophy cricket,etc??? THIS GAME OF CRICKET WAS INTRODUCED BY CROOKED AND WICKED BRITISHERS LIKE MAKING AND MARKETING OF MAHATMA AND non-violence dirty trick to make all majority hindus mmorrns and ennuchs and cowards forever and the past 64 years shows that the crooked britishers were successful to make us a BANANA REPUBLIC of majority morrons with their dirty games, we must BAN Test Cricket forever and WE must shout that we will not allow Boring and Poverty-producing and useless TEST CRICKET to make us poorer any more. One day cricket or t20 or t30 cricket ONLY must be allowed and THEY MUST BE ALLOWED TO BE PLAYED ONLY ON WEEK-ENDS OR HOLIDAYS so that we do not lose millions of working hours of men and women and youth any more and we do not remain poor forever due to useless and time-wasting and Boring TEST Cricket too. All patrrioti c citizens and sponsors MUST BOYCOT TEST Cricket and ranji and dulepp trophy cricket FORVER if they love the nation and want the nation to be supoer power in next 20 or 25 years too!

agree with you. going by that logic the suuper exciting Dhoni should retire from test cricket and continue to play T20 - fix all the matches and become a hero. Just leave the serious cricket to proper players. thanks.
It is pity that Mamta Didi did not think of puttig forward Gautam Gambhir's name for the president of india post........that too after beating CSK and winning IPL for KKR!!!!!!!.......Hope Didi reads this message.
we in India is most intolerant people as far as cricket is conscern, one- two failures of somebody, we can not digest and we lose sportsman spirit, hope we improve upon this quality and take the game as game and should not start doing favorism because of silly reasons. And expect people to show their intolerance in eliminating nuisances in india like using the same attitude towards poilticians
