Former Captains speculate on Captain Cooool

Growing controversies between Captain Cool and his senior teammates has become the centre stage for controversies with former captains lending their voices on the issue. Former captain Azharuddin felt the issue as a serious one and expressed that the controversies could alter the team fortunes, giving a bad tinge in the dressing rooms. However, the world cup-winning captain Kapil Dev brushed aside speculations saying, `the players were well matured and would not let emotions take toll on the team’s prospects.’

"Today's players have a different mindset. They say and act differently and don't hesitate in speaking their mind. Captain has a way of thinking and it is not bad in having a difference of opinion. I am sure, whether it is Dhoni or Sehwag, they will never put their ego ahead of country's interest," said Kapil.

"Dhoni certainly has to be careful about his comments. Many seniors had already played 20 years of cricket before Dhoni made his India debut so making reckless statements can spoil the bonhomie," Azhar said on a news channel. Airing their views was presumably well but in the end Kapil seems to be right. The performance of Sehwag did prove controversies wrong. However a tongue- in-check is recommended to captain Cool by the former most successful captain Azhar.  (With inputs from internet- AW AarKay)
