You may have your views and also sentiments .Dhoni is not good for Tests even as a player -so he should be dropped and captaincy be handed over to some one younger and with fresh thinking and mind . If he wants captaincy in 20-20 ,one day ,CSK etc it is OK - we feel the real game is test matches in which both as acaptain and player he was pathetic.
He holds the captaincy in all the 3 formats not because he is the best captain in the world but because Cricket in India is owned by corporates and bookies!
As long as they are happy with him, he is going nowhere!
Dravid should keep his worthless comments to himself!
While the idea of Kohli being captain after 1-2 years is ound, I think selectors should also look at Ashwin as an alternative. He has avery good thinking head and will hold the all rounder position well.

Ashwin is lucky enough not to be dropped in the coming series vs Eng - same to Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and the great RJ! Even Virat Kohli has showed slump in form in recent matches! So currently there is no one to else to captain india than Dhoni. Maybe Virat Kohli can be made captain of T20 side but only after he shows his old self again!
Cant agree with Dravid here ! ...feel Dhoni shd give up / be removed from Test captaincy as he clearly looks lost if the other side is on a roll. He is best suited to lead India in One Day Internationals ! In T 20 it does not matter who ever leads -as 1 over here & there changes the course of the game & there is little a captain can do there except keep calm.
Dhoni and BCCI chairman srinivasan are the most shame less and greedy fellows in the world, both of them should be sacked, because ever since we have won the world cup, we have not won any series in test, and very poor performances in T20 and 50format, there is ht of shameless ness.

Rather, he should be retained only in T-20 and sacked from all other forms of cricket.
Dhoni should quit TEST CRICKET and solely focus on LOIs. Test cricket fr a wicketkeeper batsman captain is too much of an ask. Imagine doing sit ups for 90 overs and then having to bat. Add to that the pressure of captaincy for 5 grueling days.
He is a class LOI player. He should quit from Tests only.
