He is rulling since hes stepped into the captain shoes of indian team. And since the day he came as wicket keeper batsmen hes been in good form with sevral knocks including a 183 n.o. Has broken several records and has reached 1st ranking world wide in quite a short time. So far he has been the most succesful captain for india but theres still long time to go now. His batting style looks edgy although he manages to get runs at much slower rate than earlier since he has become skipper. But still manages to hold a decent knock even coming 3-5th down the order.

Do you think he should stay as captain and will he find success to indian team in future?

In real life, there is nothing called as 'guarantee' or 'warranty'. Anything and everything will fail at somepoint of time. I don't know why people keep questioning this basic rule of nature.

Also, it depends upon how long is your 'future'.

there is indeed nuttin called guarantee or warranty....but the question is about "trust" not warranty of dhoni.....i guess!!!

and yes trust does exist in the game....its on trust only if dhoni will be the captain...and that trust is becoz of his current form as batsmen/captain/keeper.....and expectations derived from that....
there are still a number of critics that exist fr him...like he is edgy in batting, a bit too fast n furios wit decisions...so far he has been answering his critics well....esp to ravi shastri who sed dhoni cant captain the next moment he won his team a world cup T20 aftr humilating defeat in world cup the same year wit dravid as captain...hope m more clear now! thank u

ps: and for ppl who think it cant be judged or cant say anything abt cricket....there still an option exists for them....the last one

Enjoy~!

like Indian cricket it completely dependent on this one person ...


I'd say let him be at the helm as long as he produces the necessary results...the day things look bad... the board can do what it does best :D
confused!!

Dhoni will. But requested to him don't get over confident like other Captain player. And reduce advertisment.....
No Advice but best of luck for future. We all hope for better. Though will all Ranchi young guys are anti of Dhoni because of lot girls fan but we always think and pray positive for him.

Happy for poll all positive thinker. REQUESTING Don't make him different on the basis of state yea if you have lost your girlfriend as she has become Dhoon's fan then OK !!!!!

^^ Agreed.

Even Dravid was showing very good results when he was newly appointed as the captain.

Everything which goes up has to come down.
When Dhoni came out his batting was aggressive, but now he has toned himself down. Is calm & hits only when the situation demands. But there are times, when he wastes deliveries & then makes it tough for the following batsmen to take India out of trouble.
