Former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin expressed shock and surprise at Ravi Shastri omitting Sourav Ganguly from his list of best captains. Shastri had praised MS Dhoni, hailing him the ‘dada of all captains’, and kept him ahead of Kapil Dev, Ajit Wadekar and Tiger Pataudi, adding ‘there is no one else’. (No hurrah for MS Dhoni) “It was such a stupid thing to say,” Azhar told HT from Hyderabad, referring to Shastri’s running feud with Sourav Ganguly. “Can’t he see statistics? It doesn’t matter to me what he thinks of people but when Shastri refers to great Indian captains, his personal bias shouldn’t be used to insult those who have contributed more to Indian cricket,” he said. (Ranji Trophy final Day 2 live) For the record, MS Dhoni has been India’s most successful Test captain, winning 27 Tests during his tenure.

While MS Dhoni may have been coerced to step down as limited overs captain of the Indian cricket team, the development has rekindled a recently dormant debate in the cricketing fraternity -- who the best Indian skipper of all time is. In hailing MS Dhoni, former player and team director, Ravi Shastri, has discreetly thrown a punch to add to his long exchange of verbal volleys with Sourav Ganguly. A day after the announcement by the Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI), Ravi Shastri praised MS Dhoni’s decision in an interview with Wisden India, saying, “My salaam to a dada captain”.

This has given Virat (Kohli) time till the Champions Trophy to prepare for the title defence. MS (Dhoni) has won everything there is to win, he really has nothing to prove. Aga...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not relinquish captaincy of India’s limited-overs teams but was nudged by the selectors into making the “bombshell announcement” – they told him his time at the helm was up, sources said. The Indian cricket board announced on Wednesday that MS Dhoni, the double World Cup-winning skipper, had decided to step down as the captain of the one-day and Twenty20 sides but would continue playing. However, sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told HT that Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not step down on his own. Selection committee chairman MSK Prasad had met the 35-year-old in Nagpur during last week’s Ranji Trophy semifinal between Jharkhand, Dhoni’s home state, and Gujarat. Once the board made the announcement, Prasad hailed Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s decision. “I salute him for his sense of perfect timing. He knew that Virat (Kohli) is now a proven customer who has done exceptionally well as a leader in Tests,” Prasad told media. There are also r...
