IF HIS TEAM WINNING..\nHE WILL BE RATED A GOOD CAPTAIN.\nIF THE TEAM DOESN'T..\nIT WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY.\nSO..THE VICTORY ONLY DECIDES THE CAPTAIN'S PERFORMANCE.

He can be given another chance to be among the players but shouldn't be the captain as Dravid is the smartest and luckiest captain.

Without any sort of thinking , I can say the answer to this question as YES. He is leading wicket taker for India both in Tests and ODIs. He still can win matches for India. Giving a place in the World Cup team will be best way to acknowledge the greatest spinner of modern day Indian cricket who was always sidelined both by media and selectors!

He is a very good and great player so you should respect him, Correct your spellings first, his name is Saurav. He is having great records as captain of india and also in personal play. He is cultured  person and never abuse others at ground like some other players of your country.

He is a batsman in the India cricket team, and a very good one. He has been captain, but I don't think he is at the moment.

It is POLITICS.\n\n\nYES HE SHOULD PLAY.\n\nBUT THAT WILL NOT SOLVE ALL THE PROBLES.\n\nWhat then?\n\nPRESENT LOT be REMOVED. S/SHRI\nBCCI-PAWAR\nSELECTOR-VENSARKAR\nCOACH-CHEPPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRAVID, SEWAG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM.\n\nA fresh selection is made after deciding criteria for selection for each post. For example DRAVID WILL MAKE 10 - 63 RUNS IN 108 BALLS, It is equivalent to 30 - 160 runs in 50 overs. Such negative play to be retained in the team can make individual statistics good, BUT INDIA CAN NEVER WIN. \n\nSUNIL G. also did same thing.\n\nThey are good for test but not for ODI.\n\nIn the selection criteria shall ensure that these negative factors are taken in account.\n\nSECONDLY,\n\nIf team does not win,\nchange 2 b,man, 2 blrs, 1 all rndr, 1 wickt kpr ( if did not do well).\n\nIf team does not win series,\n\nREMOVE\n\nBCCI-PAWAR, \nSELECTOR-VENSKR\nCOACH-CEPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRVD, SWG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM\n\nMake again a fresh selection.\n\nINDIA IS FULL WITH TALENT BUT POLITICS AND REGIONALISM HAS MADE IT A ROT.\n\nPl come out of POLITICS and REGIONALISM.\nGive chance to the BEST CAPABLE, RESPONSIBLE INDIAN.\n\n\nI AM SURE INDIA WILL WIN AGAINST ANY TEAM IN THE WORLD.\n\nIs it ok?\n\nSURELY.

Dear Mr. Dravid,\nWe knew that you are a stalwart in Indian cricket – a great batsman, epitome of consistency –"Mr. Dependable".\n\nWe did not know that you are a great actor as well!\n\nYou have exposed your crooked , dirty mind after Kotla test in Delhi . During the press conference after Delhi test , you praised  Sourav and expected more good knocks from him in the future . But before you already  had that conference with Chappell and selectors axed Sourav in Ahmedabad   test against Sri Lanka ! What a talent you possess Rahul in acting  so that you could completely fox a bunch of journalists !\n\nBut truth must prevail. You could not hide your malicious act. You exposed yourself! At least we Indian cricket lovers expected little more credibility in your word and action .\n\nApart from that in entire episode of Sourav , your stoic silence  proved to the world what a backstabber you could be when it comes to realizing your own ambitions. Rahul, you proved again  – silence is more vocal than sound !\n\nLet's see what two great captains and players of this Indian sub continent ,Wasim Akram and Arjun Ranatunga say about you on Sourav issue .\n\n \n\n \n\nWasim Akram ,thinks that  Sourav Ganguly's predicament has more to do with Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid\n\n \n\n"I don't think the blame lies with Kiran More. Such decisions also depend on the coach and the captain's choice ."\n\n"I believe they are the people who decide the team. So, Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid figure prominently in this scheme of things ."—said Akram .\n\n\nSame feeling is echoed by Ranatunga, the captain of World Cup champion Sri Lanka.\n\nHe clearly opined: Dravid's silence borders on complicity\n\n"I would not like to be in Rahul Dravid's shoes if I am the captain. In the entire Sourav Ganguly episode, his silence borders on complicity. He has every reason to seek the team he wants, but he also owes it to his men to be seen standing right next to them. At best he would miss out on the trust and loyalty of his mates which allows a captain to ask for the impossible; at worst he would be very unpopular in the dressing room.\n\nTruth to tell, Sourav was very impressive at the Kotla. His two knocks (40 and 39) were well crafted and critical to the eventual scores. His dismissal in the first innings triggered the collapse which only accentuates his contribution on the first day. A few of his cover drives, trust me, were the best I saw in the entire match.\n\nHe was seen giving his 100 per cent; he wanted his place back badly. Such hunger is to be welcomed, not scorned. It has not reflected well of the system, not of selectors or team management."—Ranatunga completes his stand.\n\nYes! Rahul you can dodge journalists and common cricketer lovers but not an ace player and captain of the game like legendary Akram and Ranatunga!\n\nNow this is a honeymoon phase between you and media. So whatever you do, Media backs you. Media has  hyped up  your captaincy exceedingly well.But in harsh reality are you really a captain in true sense?\n\nDuring the Tenure of Sourav you were the Deputy and so are you even now! By mere name you are the captain on the ground but in reality you are a Deputy to coach Greg Chappell! He is the de facto captain of the Indian cricket team now and you blindly follow his instruction only. You are like those goody goody studious boys in the class who score well in exam but without any  personality of their own and  totally subservient to their teacher .\n\nSourav is present in your existence by his conspicuous absence. Nowadays, your face in different occasion only reflects the tempest in your mind, guilt in your heart.\n\nAfter cricket you can join in politics as well .when India played in Eden Garden against South Africa without Sourav; you, Rahul-- tried to create division amongst Calcuttans by nullifying the protest of artists' forum in Sourav issue  by saying

How can you say that Dravid is a soft man when his performance as a batsman has been outstanding for the last 3-4 years ! I think he is under a lot of additional pressure from the Coach which he is finding very difficult to handle.

He is a great middle-order batsman and can consolidate the innings of his whole team and pull them out of any problem. He is the future captain of India, and is presently (since 1 year) the batsman with most runs. He also represents India in the top 10 batsmen in ODIs.\nTo sum it up- he is great!!

i dunt thnk it is affecting his batting..... we hav seen dravid performing very well after he bacame the captain..... he is an excellent batsman but we cant fully depend on him.. there should be som1 wid him.....

not all the great and legend players are good captains. \n\nDravid ofcourse he is the spine for all the indian victories from last decade but i dont think he is the right person.\n\nsee what is happening, i am not criticising because it lost the series with WI , but  to become a good team , they have to win in alien places. \n\nand until now dravid won in india , pakisthan  even pakisthan is sub continent and similar pitches like home. its not enough.they have to win overseas series convinsingly.\n\nuntil that we cant deciede wether he is right or wrong. may be time will give right answere
