Dhoni thrived on the hard work Dada did as captain. We have all seen how Dhoni struggled when players groomed by Dada lost form or retired..Who will forget the 8-0 dubbing MSD got as Test Captain

hahaha..yes dada's hard work was seen here in full force....sachin dravid laxman kumble bhajji zaheer all contributed magnificently to the 8-0....hehehee....
compare this performance with the players supposedly groomed by dada....
to the performance to the players groomed by dhoni...came close to winning the test in sa before losing the series 1-0...came close to defeating nz in nz before losing 1-0...winning a test in england...ishant sharma 7 wickets in second innings...again close to win in aus tour...compare the whitewashes with dada;s army to no whitewashes with dhoni created team...

Yes I agree with you Sunil. But you said that Sachin, dravid, kumble, bhajji all groomed by Ganguly? Sachin, Kumble, Harbhajan all were playing before Ganguly was made captain. Dravid started playing at the same time as Ganguly. Ganguly brought only 3 players Yuvraj, Kaif and Zaheer and Sehwag. And we know only two - Zaheer and Sehwag succeeded in test cricket

vikas i said ''supposedly''... actually we must say that azhar ''built;; the team of sachin dravid laxman kumble, bhajji, (ganguly himself)...and ganguly just ''inherited'' azhar's team and tasted the fruits...:)

Hello all, whats going on here. Its just simple common sense that one successor inherits former team. What matter is the consistency of our indian team which is missing from last 20-25 years. Let any team wins continously especially in finals and tournaments and test series outside sub continent, then we can open up debate on which captain team is the best. Indian mindset please grow up.

MSD won two world cups courtesy Yuvi who was groomed by DADA. I think that's says all..

people wanted that yuvi be dropped before the wc because of his failures...it was dhoni's confidence in yuvi that yuvi was selected in the team and he succeeded...same people were also crying for shikhar dhawan head during the last wc...again dhoni had confidence in dhawan and dhawan was the most successful batsman of the wc from indian side...THAT says it all...if team was selected from public opinion then neither yuvi would have played that wc nor dhawan would have played the last wc...THAT says it all...

But the fact remains. Dhoni had to relie on team built by Dada as he did not have the credential to built a world beating team

hehehe...like i said the fact remains that whatever success ganguly enjoyed he relied on team built by azhar as he did not have the credentials to build a world beating team...

Look which players won you a series against SA. Ashwin, Jadeja, Rahane etc. All of them brought by Dhoni. The team has been made by Dhoni and Virat is just enjoying. Is it right?

Dhoni has the unique record of loosing home series to England and getting whitewashed twice abroad.. He he he
In Spinnig Track/India: 1. Virender Sehwag 2. Rahul Dravid (as usual I know this gentleman will sacrifice his usual slot and will be ready to open the batting) 3. V.V.S. Laxman 4. Sachin Tendulkar 5. Md. Azharuddin 6. Sourav Ganguly(C) 7. Kapil Dev 8. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk) 9. Harbhajan Singh 10 Anil Kumble 11 Javagal Srinath
In Aus, NZ, SA & England etc.Zaheer should play in place of Harbhajan

btw i would like to remind you also that when the greats of the game voted for who was the best odi batsman of all time...dhoni was in the top 5 of their list ...heehehee...

in TEST matches Dhoni has 2 overseas test series wins...ganguly has NO overseas test series win...hehehee...
The negative heading of excluding a player in the story by the rediff correspondence must be avoided. Instead it should show the great palyers tht have been included. Remember, he has to pick only 11. Its Warne\'s choice.Let him have his say. Let the cprrespondent pick his own team and selcect Laxman Further if Laxmnas
