All scholars are not good teacher the same way a good player does not mean a good captain. Sachin had his try and during his time the team wasn't that good and even he failed to make a mark as a captain and on top of it, people like Azhar and Jadeja were deciding the results of the match. Let Sachin be a player, there is already enough pressure on him and he plays an imp. role in strengthening the team. It's certainly not the end of his era he still has lot to deliver

Yes he is very much required. He knows how to play cricket not only on the field but also off the field i.e. mind game. Actually we are not  interested in TEAM INDIA's success. We love to watch our star cricketers perform well no matter if team wins or not. That's the reason even after winning a series Sourav was removed from captaincy. After that India played most of their matches either on home soil or in Asian subcontinent and they performed well as ever so none remembered Sourabh. Actually in Indian condition team India doesn't need any coach or captain. They will perform well  in India its proven truth. Who is Chappel ? He is the same notorious skipper who killed cricket by instructing his brother to bowl underarm to avoid a defeat. Actually we don't need Chappel or Sourabh or any individual. We need to have firm policy on selection.

nice question.....\nit is our master blaster &disaster sachin ramesh tendulkar.\nSachin Tendulkar\n Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an outstanding Indian cricketer. He has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 1989. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16. He is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time and by many as the greatest of his era. His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as 'The Little Master' by his adoring fans.Early Days\nBorn in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) into a middle class family, Tendulkar was named after his family's favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman. He went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School where he started his cricketing career. He, when in school was involved in a mammoth 664 run partnership in a Harris Shield game with friend and International team mate Vinod Kambli, and in 1988/89 scored 100 not out in his first first-class match, for Bombay against Gujurat. Aged 15 years 232 days, he was then by some distance the youngest player ever to score a century on debut.He played his first international match against Pakistan in Karachi facing up to the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He scored just 15 runs and was bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match. It was an innings very different from how the rest of his career went. He followed it up with his maiden test fifty a few days later at Faisalabad. However he could not get a century in that series. His One-day International (ODI) debut on December 18 was equally disappointing where he was dismissed without scoring a run again by Waqar Younis. The series was followed by a non-descript tour of New Zealand in which he did not make remarkable contribution. In the tour of England in 1990 he scored his maiden test century but the other scores were not remarkable. It was in the 1991/1992 tour of Australia that he made his mark as a remarkable batsman. He has been man of the match 11 times in test matches and Man of the Series twice, both times in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.His maiden ODI century came on September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo.He was named by Wisden as one of the Cricketers of the Year 1997 which was the first calendar year in which he scored a 1000 test runs. He repeated the feat in 1999, 2001 and 2002.AchievementsSome remarkable achievements of his career are:\n 4th highest tally of runs in test cricket (10,134) at an outstanding average of 57.25 (highest among those who have scored over 8,500 test runs) as of March 2005\nMost runs (over 13642) and centuries (38) in one-day internationals\nOnly person to have scored over 11,000 ODI runs and over 25 ODI centuries as of April 28, 2005\nHighest ODI batting average among Indian batsmen and among all batsmen who have scored over 7,500 ODI runs (as of April 3, 2005)\nMost Number of Man of the Matches in one-day internationals\nOnly player to have over 100 innings of 50+ runs in ODIs as of April 2005\nMost Number of Runs in World Cup Cricket History\nFirst cricketer to cross 10,000-run mark in ODIs\nHas equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuries.\nAmong those who have played over 100 test matches, he is the only one with a batting average above 55.\nOnly second Indian to cross 10,000 runs in Test matches.\nHe has the most centuries in ODI cricket against Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. \nHe is the fastest to score 10,000 runs in test cricket history. He holds this record along with Brian Lara. Both of them achieved this feat in 195 innings.\nTo go with this he has 34 hundreds in Test cricket at an average of 57. An average above 50 distinguishes a batsman as an all time great.\nHighest individual score in ODIs amon

No Indian cricket team has one of the best talents in the world but they are wasting it by not playing to their potential. So we need not change the players but have to change their mind set by making them more professional and competitive. Indians should have the urge to win and win only they should have that spirit glowing int hem. Then only they can win. And if u wanna remove a player i suggest Suresh Raina as he is a kid and has to go the training at the lower level and have to upgrade him. He must be groomed and that should be done by making him play at the lower level. He has to be given confidence. All others must know their responsibilities and must know their role and play. They should not tell just like that "i can play at any position". Also the team management must know who can play where and must experiment on that basis. We cannot see Pathan or Dhoni at number 3. Number 3 is for an sheet anchor like Dravid or Ganguly. Kaif is also best suited for that job and Sachin and Shewag must always open. Ganguly must be inducted into the team and without him it is very difficult for India the win the World Cup.

He has been appointed as Captain of Bengal Ranji Trophy Team.  If he perform well in the ranji trophy matches, he may get a chance to play in the one day series with Sri Lanka and West Indies.  If he performs well in those matches also, he will defenitely get a chance to plahy in the world cup.  He is not going to get a chance bnased on his past glory.  he has to prove to the selectors that he is still a good plahyer.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - born 24 April 1973 was rated in an article by Wisden in 2002 as the second greatest Test batsman ever, after Sir Don Bradman. He holds several key batting records, including the most Test centuries, most ODI centuries and the most runs in ODI cricket. He is also the most capped player currently playing international cricket. He received the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour, for 1997-1998, and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999. Tendulkar was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997.\n\nNo doubt all the three batsmen mentioned by you are amount the best. Sachin would have gone far with his batting and records but unfortunately he is having one problem or other physically. Still I considr him as best. Lara and ponting are also very good.-

SACHIN:\n\nAs a captain:  The History is saying that he had a bad      record as a Captain. But by that time, ther are no such good players and he often said that,"The selectors of that time select the players as they like".He had a good record as a batsaman-captain.He has also a lot of experience as a cricketer.He has also good captain characters.\n\nAs a batsman:  No doubt he is the only greatest batsman after DON BRADMAN.\n\n      DRAVID:\n\nAs a captain: Now, Dravid has the CHAPELL and the DHONI, YUVRAJ, PATHAN, SREESANTH, RAINA and many YOUNGSTERS and FORTUNE also.

When we are in losing situation, many times he led our TEAM INDIA to the Victory.\n\n       GANGULY:\n\nAs a captain: He increased our victories.

NO.\n\nBUT WE CAN ONLY IF,\n\nDRAVID be removed from CAPTAINCY and ODI-Why?\n\nThe worst captain- \ncould not control SA from 6 wicket down for 76; finally SA made 275. \nAny 18yrs child can do better job.\n\nHe made 63 in 103 balls and it is equvalent of 184 in 50 overs. This means he played for his retaintion in the team but not for win of INDIA. \nHE SCORED +50 for 63 but SCORED (NEGETIVE) -100 for playing TEST Match in ODI. \n\nThe net score of dravid is (negative)-50. This means he can play TEST but he shall be removed from ODI side of INDIA.\n\nShri DHONI be made CAPTAIN- Why?\n\n\nHe scored 55 in 48 balls, this is equivalent to 344 runs in 50 overs. Therefore he played for win of INDIA. HE GOT 50 FOR SCORING 55, and 100 FOR PLAYING FOR WIN OF INDIA and not mere for his retaintion in the team.\n\nTHEREFORE DHONI WITH 150 MARKS OUT OF 100 WILL THE CAPTAIN IN THE NEXT ODI\n\nShri DRAVID WITH (-)50 SCORE SHALL BE DROPPED FROM ODI AND RESERVED FOR TEST ONLY.
