both captain cricket domestic indian last longer playing runs test whether
For the last five-six months, I have been making runs in both domestic and Test cricket. I also scored runs as the captain in Zimbabwe, so I don't know whether I am playing better because I am no longer the Indian captain.

If I am asked I will do that.

I don't think the entire team should be dragged into this.

boys captain century confidence cricketers days faith field good high mean nobody rare rest score support
The captain has a big role. It is important to keep the boys' confidence high and to keep one's faith in them. I try to give my support to the youngsters because nobody comes in as a world beater. Okay, some rare cricketers score a century on debut, but that doesn't mean the rest are not good enough. We have to give them more opportunities, which was not there when I started out. Captaincy these days is more off the field than on the field.
ms-dhoni people missing
When I used to be the captain of India, many people literally hated me for being overly expressive. Once I retired, the same people used to say COME BACK DADA, WE MISS YOU. The same thing will happen in the case of MS Dhoni. The ones who criticise him right now will understand his importance once he retires.
country epic dhoni
Dhoni is the greatest captain of our country. His record is proof of that.
captains worried dravid
You're never too worried as a captain, when you know Rahul Dravid's still out there.
