he was a manipulative politician but much better captain than dhobi who is not only manipulative but biased / arrogant and shameless like those lowlife politicians from bihar/up/jharkhand areas...
Best captain was Anil kumble who showed his quality in aus series which India lost 2-1 after a good fight. It was unfortunae that he was given capatincy so late in his career. Even he captain RCB well in IPL. But he was not manipulative like dhoni. While gansguly & dhoni played many matches just in name of captaincy, Captain like kumble, Gavaskar, kapildeo was themselves worldclass player. that sets them apart.

Dada taken over a miserably performing team of great individuals and transform that into a team that win matches anywhere. No doubt there were better individuals in his team than now but at the same time all other teams were strong too than now. Look at the Australian team now and then. There are few players who are still playing in Indian team who were part of Dada's team and now they are not performing that much, that speaks itself. Sadly there are lot of Indians who put themselves above nation and national interest not just in cricket but in each and everything.
