AT,PRESENT DHONI IS THE BEST BATSMAN IN THE WORLD

London: Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday became the world’s top batsman in the ICC one-day rankings with a phenomenal average of 52.76 and an awesome strike-rate of 103.\n\nDhoni, who was placed second behind Ricky Ponting before the two-match one-day series against Pakistan, displaced the Australian captain from the top spot after his fine knock of 59 in the second match in Abu Dhabi.\n\nHowever, the 1-1 honours in the series meant that India and Pakistan remain unchanged in the team championship table, on third and fourth places, respectively.\n\nThe 24-year-old Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman, who made his ODI debut in December 2004, has made a remarkably rapid rise with his statistics providing compelling support for his position on top of the ODI charts released by the ICC Thursday.

yes,he should because when he was captain he plays good cricket even now also.ups and downs always come in the way of good cricketer.when sunil gavaskar was not in form but he has done a good captainship.so he should play as a captian.i admire him.

By luck it is possible, If you evaluate current Indian team performance played in Champions trophy, we need to go long way. The way Indian team played in Champions Trophy, I think a big challenge in-front of coach Greg Chappel. \nVirender Shewag- Out of form and forget to play his natural game, he can do better as an optional opening batsman, Gautam Ghambhir is in form, Rotate both openers in every w/c match.\nSachin Tendulakar- Playing always under pressure to maintain his stand and popularity. He cannot score enough runs,he has to get out from his top class players frame of mind,\nRahul Dravid- A dependable captain and good player, he will score in w/c\nYuvraj Singh - I think he will bounce back with his form, no pressure on him.\nSuresh Raina - Too young to handle world cup pressure. Better to choose Sourav Ganguly.\nM.S.Dhoni - OK , he is all rounder, he can keep wickets and score at least few runs,\nIrfan Pathan - OK, he can do with bat at lower order and as bowler he has to do the main job.\nSreesanth- A good fast bowler, let him work on his plans and give a fair chance to maintain his stand in the team.\nHarbhajan Singh- OK, he is good bowler and handy lower order batsman.\nRamesh Power- I think we should go with Anil Kumble,\nMohd Kaif- A good fielder, out of form batsman, need to rotate with VVS Laxman.\nMunaf Patel- Munaf or Zaheer Khan

Not at this moment as his form is not good enough. He scored only 6 today and that’s not the best of him. But he is capable and need quality time to be in the groove again. On the other part he is a born leader, as I had known him closely when I was a junior in our college St.Xaviers and I can assure you all that he will be back, but not now, not at least as a makeshift replacement. \nBut I agree with you that his sheer presence is needed if India has to have a chance to de something in the World Cup. \n\nA talented (you cannot deny that) mean person who cares only about him and nothing else heads this present team. Remember our present captain was not even considered to be agile enough (He was the Mr. Go Slow for all the other teams) to be a part of the national team in the ODI's. It was Ganguli who came up with the idea to play him as a wicket-keeping batsman, just to accommodate him in the team. He knew that there was talent and it was just quality time that was needed at that point of time. That’s captaincy, that’s friendship and that’s team spirit. And what was the return that he got in his difficult times, from the person whom he defended so vigorously? The sheer prospect of getting the captains band revealed his true character and he stabbed Ganguli from the back at the first opportunity he got. He and his coach together with some of the selectors then tactfully slaughtered Jaheer, Nehra, Balaji, Laxman, kumble for no reason at all. (You can add Irfan, Yuvraj and Harbhajan in this list as they are the next) They destroyed the team, they destroyed the spirit, and they destroyed the passion that we had after a long long time. We will never again see an Indian arrogant enough to wave his shirt from a balcony at the heart of London, nor we will ever see the wonderful moments that we all had during the amazing run that we had during his tenure. Everything is lost and it will never come back again. There are broken hearts everywhere and it can never be mended. Viva the Captain, Viva the coach; you are successful enough to push us back to the stone ages. \n  \nFor someone’s sources in the forum – We are not dirty niggers and we do not care if you hate us all at Lancashire as long as we have the courage to defend our Motherland. This is what happened in actual and trust me more people will be proud to be associated with such person who can do that at point blank and end up hated rather than submitting pride for our nation before foreigners to be loved.

NO QUESTION ABOUT CAPTAINSHIP TILL WC'07.\n\nDRAVID WILL REMAIN AS CAPTAIN.\n\nIF NEEDED, AFTER WC, KUMBLE WILL BE HONOURED AS A CAPTAIN BEFORE HIS RETIREMENT.\n\nSORRY...GANGULY FANS.

the indian selectors arent giving sourav a chance because of their personal issues with him. kiran more has openly said that sourav wont be a part of the indian team untill he is the selector. its all politics where as sachin i guess will be a part of the team even if he scores 15 ducks in a row

Virendra sehwag has been often mentioned as the captain in the making and that is why he is the current vice captain as well. So the matter is pretty much clear.

Rahul Dravid.\nDespite being Captain his Batting is not affected.Also he comes at # 2 and saves the Indians to lose early wickets.

The captain of the Indian cricket team during the 1964/65 season was the Nawab of Pataudi Jr. - Mansoor Ali Khan. India played 2 series in this season. 1st against Australia where we played 3 matches with a win, a loss and a draw as the results. 2nd was played against New Zealand where we won a match and drawing 3 and thus winning the series.\n\n\nNot many people but the Nawab of Pataudi Sr. also captained India for a seaon in 1946 v/s England. We lost that series with a loss and 2 draws as the outcome of the 3 match series.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mahendra Singh Dhoni breaks the record in the forthcoming West Indies tour.\n\nHe almost did it against Sri Lanka ( http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/SL_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/SL_IND_ODI3_31OCT2005.html ) but sadly, there weren't enough runs on the board.
