The same captain MSD won the ODI and test series during last tour of New Zealand around 04 years back. Why ? Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Laxman, Zaheer were at their peak. Then we lost overseas series against England and Australia with aging and non performing superstars. Now same is happening with inexperienced greenhorns during the rebuilding stage. Remember, India started winning abroad only in this century when our recently retired veterans had substantial overseas exposure after few years in international cricket. Why blame Captain alone ? Didn’t Sehwag captain in Australia when MSD was banned ? Have patience. Current crop of players are brilliant and they will deliver during overseas tour 2-3 years later with a new captain. However, Captain is as good as the team. In my opinion, Viraat appears to be too hot headed. Rahane could be a good captaincy prospect.

then why ganguly lost so many finals in india with all the legends in their prime
our bowling is like rahul baba of cong. when u have such a force no need for other team to try hard to defeat you.u automatically will defeat yourself. with this bowling attack can you be offensive
Not only dhonis captaincy but dropped catches should also be taken into consideration.Dropping mcullum twice cost us the match. BCCI should appoint jonty rhodes as the fielding coach now.Doesnt look like india has any chance of wiining the asia cup the kind of form player like rohit sharma has.
Dhoni should be removed from captaincy fro Tests,ODI and T20 as he may be compromising india's interest with gamblers and playing for CSK with CSk affiliated palyers!Mudgal commission's report should be an eye opener.
