Rahul Dravid resigns....

Following the so close yet so far series loss to England,Team India captain Rahul Dravid resigns as the captain.

In a letter written to the Indian board, he has asked to be relieved of the captaincy before Australia's forthcoming tour of India, beginning later this month.

A statement from Niranjan Shah, secretary of the Indian board, said Dravid met Sharad Pawar, the board president in New Delhi yesterday. He "expressed his desire to step down as captain of the Indian team and requested that he should not be considered for the job from the upcoming Australia series." The statement said Dravid wanted to concentrate on his game.

As on my side,I found no reason why he should step down as the captain.It's true he hasn't played upto the expectations in the last 2 important games against England but what about that firing 92 he made off some 60 odd balls in the same series.May be he is feeling the pressure of the position too much.Except for his personal reasons no one finds fault in him...

Discussions apart,since he made his decision,he will not be named as the captain of the team but the question arises who can lead Team India now,with the stalwarts still in the side but refusing to captain te side..Is it going to be Dhoni?,Yuvraj or will it turn in a circle and be in the hands of Ganguly again?.Who knows?.Team India is having a tough time..it can't finalize a new coach and now with the captain dropping himself....it's time to take a cleaner look at the jobs to be done....

All the best India..Chak De !
