Though the talks of replacing Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Test skipper is making rounds in all quarters, but there are few who doesn’t appreciate the move of sacking Dhoni for Tests!
Former Indian captain, Sunil Gavaskar feels Dhoni is still the best bet for India's captaincy and wants the BCCI to wait for some time before zeroing in on the candidate who might take over from him in future.
Criticized for his unimpressive captaincy and performance in Test cricket, Dhoni has offered to quit the leadership role in the longer format of the game if the BCCI feels there is a better replacement waiting in the wings.
However, Gavaskar feels there is nothing to hurry and Dhoni is still the best bet for the job. "Dhoni obviously must have felt deeply the 4-0 loss of India. So what he wanted to say is that he is ready to play under a captain if the BCCI can get one, and that is exactly what you expect from a team man like him," Gavaskar told the sources.
Asked if India should opt for three different captains for three different formats, Gavaskar said: "If you have somebody to captain all three formats, nothing like it, really because there would be no division of command”.
