Credit to Kohli as well who always maintained that MSD will always be my captain. They dont make such men in cricket Or real life. No credit just walk way in oblivion knowing your time has come, no farewell matches & no drama. It is sad that for no reason whatsoever some so called Dada enthusiasts are unnecessarily behind this man. The cry baby Gambhir has said so many negative things about MSD but he has never ever went public to argue that. Isnt that class!

Seriously how good and underrated was Dravid as a captain... It was under him that India learnt to chase. It was under him so many of the young and exciting youths got their chance.

Hopefully he ushers in a new era of solid Indian coaches as well...

After kohli 's announcement I thought it was good thing as he was already 33, he should think about future cap for t20i, he simply thought about nation, when dhoni was captain his vice-cap which is kohli, he was just in his early 20s, that's why he continued till 2016. In 2014 he gave up test capcy to kohli, which means dhoni gave up one format. But for kohli all of the main players are already in late 20s or early 30s, so it's right time for kohli to give captaincy to other guy atleast in any of one format it's pretty normal. But as you said this social media really exaggerated it, and created a rift between Rohit - kohli again. Hope indian cricket team stays strong.

[@tirthendukarmakar3600]

[@kaustubhdudhane]

Great video buddy. Just want to add one thing. Not only around 1980s, the captaincy drama was way muddier earlier. In 1958-59 against West Indies at Home, we had four captains in the same series. Ghulam Ahmed, Hemu Adhikari, Vinoo Mankad and Polly Umrigar.

[@AshokSridharan]

Soon followed by Datta Gaikwad (father of Anshuman G) for the tour of England that followed shortly, which produced a 0-5 thrashing at the hands of a distinctly average English side

[@ramachandrankannan274]

Gavaskar was extremely favoured by the board repeatedly making him captain for series in India and then letting him give it up when a difficult series overseas was to be played. In early 80s, he led India to defeats in England and Pakistan. One reason for Indian poor performance was Gavaskar repeatedly acting more as Bombay captain than Indian captain. Kapil was probably the most shabbily treated Captain. He was sacked after 87 WC semi final defeat when it was his innings that brought back the team into the game. When Srikkanth took over from Vengsarkar , following a number of defeats attributable to bad captaincy, the latter sulked and refused to play under Srikkanth. Srikkanth took what was India's weakest team ever to tour Pakistan which had its best ever team. Despite number of horrendous umpiring decisions, that team came back undefeated - which was India's best ever performance in Pakistan till then. Srikkanth was promptly sacked. Think we cannot compare those days with the current situation

[@AnkitSingh-xl6pt]

Kapil, thanks to Gavaskar, missed out a guaranteed series win in Australia during the 1985 tour. India could've also squared the 1982-83 series in West Indies under Kapil as the first test at Kingston was lost by just 4 wickets when WI were set less than 200 to chase in the 4th innings, with Kapil taking 8 wickets in the contest whilst Gavaskar failed for almost the entire tour, example being the following Port-of-Spain test where Kapil had to score a century to save India from follow-on and draw the test when India could've actually setup a lead and make WI bat again if not for the failure of most of the batsmen,minus Mohinder Amarnath. It happened again during the return tour post the '83 WC when only Kapil played consistent attacking cricket throughout the series but Gavaskar failed on crucial occasions, the worst being his performance at Ahmedabad where the 4th innings target was less around 250 but he failed to provide a start and the rest crumbled automatically. Even Clive Lloyd said it could've been a hard fought 2-1 win for the Windies but India couldn't handle the pressure. Only during the 1985 World Championship of Cricket did Gavaskar show some instincts as a leader, but here too he didn't do much with the bat.

Regarding the captaincy transitions involving Azhar, I have a few comments. Firstly, Azhar became permanent captain in 1990, not 1992. If we had other captains in that period between 1990-1992, it was probably because Azhar was out injured or something. Secondly, Azhar’s second ouster from captaincy didn’t end with the match fixing scandal. It actually ended much before, towards the end of 1999. Ajay Jadeja and Ganguly were both tried as white ball captains in some series (e.g. against West Indies in Toronto, tri series in Singapore etc.) before the captaincy was handed back to Sachin ahead of the 1999-2000 Australia tour. This was followed by a defeat to SA at home, following which Sachin relinquished captaincy, and Ganguly was put into the hot seat. Under Ganguly, the team played the ODI series in SA, some series in Sharjah (I could be wrong on this) and as Asia Cup in Dhaka. It was in Dhaka that both Azhar and Jadeja played for India for the last time. The match fixing controversy had started during the 2000 Ind-SA ODI series and Azhar and Jadeja’s names were involved at the time the Asia Cup was going on. That was when the match fixing saga really started. Technically, India had 2 captains between Azhar and the match fixing saga.

[@AshokSridharan]

You’ve covered what has been- in relative terms- a golden era. There was a time when we had 4 captains in a 5-test series. Not surprisingly, we were pummelled in that series and coped an even bigger shellacking in the tour to England that followed shortly!

Well curated video. Your narration is already top shelf stuff... Kudos to you. The script is impeccably written with all necessary elements and there was nothing more one could ask for. With regards to narration, you are already doing 95% things right. What you could consider focussing on is that at some points you stress on some verbs/adjectives that we would have stressed on had we been speaking Hindi, not English. Examples: 1) at 0:46, you emphasized on "sport" instead of "just".... (but emphasis on "religion is beautiful). In Hindi we would have emphasized on "khel" in the below sentence: cricket sirf ek KHEL nahi, balki DHARMA ban gya. 2) at 0:58, the emphasis on the word "cricket" wasn't necessary,sounds misplaced, and breaks the sublime flow you magically create. 3) at 0:18, the dieing tone on "Indian Captaincy" makes it sounds like the end of the sentence and the small pause that follows seems to confirm the end of sentence, but when you continue with "seems to have hit...", the sentence fails to deliver the punch as effectively as it could have. I repeat, your narration stands out, is a treat to hear, and you have all it takes to become the best. Cheers!

Tbh Kohli built the fast bowlers entirely as Dhoni never actually groomed any fast bowler but yeah Dhoni groomed spinners well

[@prabhatsharma4]

Dhoni's test rank was destroyed in an year .he got the team which qas ranked no 2. Virat got a team ranked 7, went on to be no 1 in test and india is still no 1 for last 5 years

Gavaskar is a great batsman. But he can under perform. The semi final in Mumbai where he got bowled by Defritas on a defensive shot. He did not want to go to Calcutta.

[@apratimdutta2223]

I don't there is any rift between Rohit and Virat .Today I saw Virat was genuinely concerned when Rohit got injured and pat his back.

[@DPPD1112]

Indian team very much needs a cool , unbiased and focussed head rather than an animated , arrogant , woke whose below avg captaincy is rescued by talented individuals'( including himself) performances many a time !! Gracefully he should step down from ODI and T-20s captaincy and pass the baton to some shrewd 25-26yrs old to give him time to build the team( Dhoni's words) till world cup !!

Captains like Kapil Dev sowed the seeds of Indian cricket. And captains like Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid nurtured a young tree and gave it a character! Then it was all upto the Dhoni and Kohli to maintain and lead that roaring Indian team towards glory!

@@deepakshukla8142 well firstly he doesn't need a damn biopic for publicity (if ur implying that) and he don even need his captaincy to promote his biopic. ur statement and whole connecting the dots thing make any sense.
