Dhoni will make a good successor of Anil Kumble:
Dhoni has been one of the fastest growing players in the international cricket circuit. He has been a real star for his character and obviously for his unique style of batting. He got the chance of captaining the Indian side in the T-20 world cup. There he showed his character that is how thinking player he is from inside. He has always been aggressive throughout his career. In fact his captaincy saw some things that Indian cricket has never seen. His field placing, his interaction with the team mates is phenomenal. But in the Mohali test he showed that he is ready to take over as Indian test captain from Anil Kumble. He was able to pressurize the Australian throughout the innings. Even was it reflected in the characters of the team mates.
Anil Kumble, who was supposed to be the captain for the whole Australian series has retired after the third test in Delhi. He was struggling with his fitness too. So he decided to step aside in order to give the new comers enough chance to blossom under the captaincy of the Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Anil Kumble also feels that dhoni can be a very good test captain as he posses all the capabilities to keep India as one of the best sides in the cricket world. After the T-20 World cup, the scenario of Indian cricket seems to have changed a lot. And the man who is behind all these is Dhoni. He tried to back up his gut feelings with his positive mind set. He never tried to step aside from a problem. He constantly thinks something which brings some crucial changes in the field that proves more than handy. He is one of the dedicated players of the team. He always plays for the team and that character has inspired the team members a lot.
The players feel to play under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And that can become one of the keys of success for the successor of Anil Kumble. Kumble’s retirement has been a shock for some of the players. But they have the joy also as they will be playing under Dhoni to wrap up the series in the final test match. Now it’s all up to Dhoni how to handle this Indian team to drive them towards victory.
