    Rahul dravid..Its too early to give sourav the captaincy again as he is still under tremendous pressure to prove himself although he did play well in the tests against SA. He needs to prove himself in one day matches too and also that he isnt a one-series comeback wonder. Besides, Rahul dravid isnt doing too bad at the moment. Its not his fault that India is losing games. If you listen to the commentary carefully, then you will understand that everyone praises his field placement and strategies. Its just that nto everyone gives their full potential to the team and so the strategies dont work as planned.

    Sourav Ganguly because when he was the captain he was managing indian team well

    and the bating order and the bowling order was the best.The best players were taken

    to play the match and the team was winning.
