It's Time to groom Kohli as captain :


It's easy to pick up a guitar and twang the cords, easy to sit down at a piano and pound on the keys.

Both instruments will produce sounds, but to produce the composition you desire, a lyrical tune, is something else.

For that, the right key needs to be pressed and the right chords strummed at the right time. And that only comes with having a sense for music, combined with training and thorough practice. Indian cricket needs a similar train of thought to find its next captain.
Under MS Dhoni, India have lost seven successive overseas Tests.

The hullabaloo for his head is splitting eardrums, but the thought is filled more with emotion than logic.


Cast a gaze over the core of India's players and none other than Dhoni can justify assuming the captain's role. There's no denying Dhoni's acumen in limited-overs cricket but it is in Test cricket that he isn't getting it right between his ears. Maybe Gary Kirsten hid Dhoni's weak Test credentials under the cloak of intelligent planning.

An extended run of poor form and a laid-back Duncan Fletcher has brought it into the open. However, that doesn't mean you get rid of India's second most successful skipper with no replacement in sight.
