India, that hails with millions of people who are cricket fanatics all have a puzzled look on their face today. They look like they are in great trauma. “Rahul Dravid wants to step down”. Rahul Dravid wants to step down? Why? This Question has been running across the minds of all those people who stay at home with their family to watch cricket, all those people who glare at the TV screen in the airports, all those people who block the road watching cricket in front of every TV showroom. Why? After doing so well in the England series and having lost only narrowly in the final match and at this juncture when India has to face a very good competition with Pakistan, Why has the captain decided to quit the captainship?
On a meeting with Mr. Sharad Pawar, The President of the BCCI yesterday (13th Sep.), Rahul Dravid said the he wants to step down from the post of the Indian Cricket Captain. He also said that he would continue to play as a batsman and not remain in the captain’s seat. Mr. Niranjan Shah, The Secretary of the BCCI opined that may be the captain wants to concentrate on the big game. People are under high pressure when they are given the responsibility of something. We can take Sachin Tendulkar’s Captainship as an example which had shown a great effect on his scores. And may be that’s the reason as to why Rahul had been batting badly quite sometime. But the Question is now at this point of time when India is doing well, why does Rahul wants to step down. A time when India was badly defeated by Bangladesh would have been a time for Rahul to decide. But why now?
If the people are ready to digest this fact, the next fact that hits us is the selection of the new captain. Who would be the next captain? Who would be Rahul’s successor? The two names that strike fast is M.S.Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. On this Mr. Ajay Jadeja, India’s former Vice Captain says that Dhoni would be a wrong choice. The first preference should always go to the latter. Apart from this the other players would be V. Sehwag or the former captains Sachin Tendulkar or Sourav Ganguly. It would be a decision of either going 2 steps ahead or two steps behind.
Who ever will be the next captain, the Indian cricket team when asked too said that is a great shock. The relationship with the seniors wouldn’t be an issue because as far as the public knows, he shares quite a good relation with his seniors. The Shock has now led the people to search for the conspiracy theory. But for the people its cricket. Its now become a great part of their life. To state the words of a layman, “ A CEO of a Company Wouldn’t say that he wants to step down from his post just because he wants to be an ordinary member. The Keyword is Stress.” Whatever may be the reason…. The question still remains….
