Goutam Gambhir was a outstanding captain. Mr. Gambhir deserves captaincy for national cricket team in test match format for sure. Test format is the most important format of this sport, dhoni hold on test captaincy wrongly, m dhoni was a failure in test cricket as captain. Btw, we all knew MS is a legend and he served greatly with bat in all formats.
MSD has always been classy which makes him so different just like Dravid. How well he transitioned captaincy to Kohli and played amicably. 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! Unfortunately most people are not even at that level to understand that guy's maturity. If you want to learn about life, just learn from MSD you will be sorted!

I never take Ajay Jadeja's comment too seriously. But Ajay, in a show, commented the biggest success of Dhoni is how he passed the captaincy batton to Kohli. (Not the trophies he won). Now I understand how correct Ajay Jadeja was!
People will slowly realize that Dravid , Kumble and Dhoni were actually the most important players who made India the most prestigious team in Cricket as well as are the most gentleman players from India .
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. All people remember his captaincy is for 2007 WC. But test series wins in WI, Eng and all those bilateral series wins under him are so easily forgotten. Hopefully he ushers in a new era of solid Indian coaches as well...
That's why in every interview, you can see Suresh Raina and Irfan Pathan talk about how great Rahul Dravid was. He always backed the youngsters back then.
2007 WC was more of a collective failure of batting unit, I don't think even the best captain on earth could have saved India from getting knocked out with that poor batting against SL & BAN.
Though we collapsed miserably in the 2019 World Cup, the decision of Dhoni to hand over ODI captaincy to Kohli two years prior for me is the epitome of the values of a true leader. He made sure the team in no way should fall apart whenever he leaves the team for good.

MSD the man who steadied the ship in his tenure and brought glories to Indian cricket. MSD becoming captain is the best thing happened to Indian cricket.
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.
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
Key point is after Ganguly took over the captaincy all the players wanted team India to build stronger team and give enough time to build the new generation of team when ever the senior quit ..the seniors from the Ganguly's period had no ego ... Thats called maturity who thinks of the team .. Earlier it was a kind of ego floating in the team which actually did not develop a strong team ...every individual focus was to how i can stick myself to team India ... things have changed and i hope the future ll be the same ...

@@Abhijit_Mishra91 u have to compare when Kohli captains 10 too duh, he captained only 3 yet took the team to knockouts in all of them. Losing 7 is definitely worse than losing 3.
What a Show. Brother you Bringing to Life the Memories and Moment s Frozen in Time as if Happened Yesterday. We have lived it You making Us Relive it. Wow. Keep the Good Works. Kudos.
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.
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
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.

WoW. Just a word to describe your beautiful narrative and those music and animations with those pictures is definitely a very little. What a beautiful narration that was! I almost felt that I was watching a documentary in a cinema hall. I have fallen in love with your beautiful voice and narrations now. Saw 5 continuous videos of yours and here I am feeling proud to discover your channel. Being a fan of cricket, it feels great to know about cricket from a deep point of view. From a perspective, I never knew before. From an angle, that is necessary in today's world. You really do a great amount of research, I must say. It feels great to know about my favourite player's mind from your videos. Keep making videos, I will be one of your first subscriber (admirer) to watch and adore your beautiful narration. Cheers and have a great day, Sir.
May be Dhoni came in as an mentor to just do that. I still feels India needs alteast two captains. One for Test and ODI and one for T20. Since T20 format itself is very diff from test.
Content is never a question on this channel, it's been always a Quality rather other thing i would say is.... Phenomenal narrative capabilities, exceptional pauses you take in between, complete package, one day I wish to meet and greet you.. RESPECT CRICKET RAAZ, YOU HAVE EARNED IT
Back here after Kohli's handover of Test captaincy.. When I read the news, the end in the end came to my mind immediately.. "Indian captaincy has always been a shaky boat, always need to be ready for a bumpy ride"
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!
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!
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.
Hi admin , I have been watching ur videos repeatedly not only because of m a cricket fan I am like addicted to ur story telling .. here are some of my long time searched stories on ' story behind declination of sl cricket pak cricket South Africa cricket ' gone are those days when I watched our team get thrashed all over park by sa batsmen .. rarely I have seen dominating. I don't see even a contest from these 3 teams now a days. I used to bite my nails and watch even matches against Zimbabwe where flower brothers used to be nightmare for our toothless attack. Pl do a video on where and why the dynamic shift . At presnt it is only contest between eng NZ and india. Bangladesh and aus almost at same stage.
I don't think virat or dhoni should be on the list. Kohli knows the writing is on the wall, he fails to win another icc trophy his days as white ball captain are done. Dhoni knew his days as test captain were done after the 1st test vs aus where we showed more fight under kohli in 1 test than we did under dhoni in his last 8 tests there. Both chose the graceful I Quit rather the humiliating you are fired. Can't exactly call it voluntary though.
You missed out a very important information . When Tendulkar left captaincy for the 2nd time , in the last test series Ajay Jadeja was brought back to test matches again and selectors hoped and prayed he performs , as Ganguly was never their first choice as captain . Jadeja failed in that test match on the eve of selection and he on record said to Saurav , congrats I know you will be India ‘s next captain as I have failed in test and India wants same captain in all formats .
Once again an interesting video. However, you could have elaborated a bit. For example during the azar-sachin transitions you just mentioned the time period of their sacking.
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!
Seeing this now the transition from virat to rohit seemed really smooth except the media involvement which came down subsequently. And I think it will be the same case in rohit to rahul too..
MSD has always be classy which makes him so different just like Dravid. How well he transitioned captaincy to Kohli and played amicably. Credit to Kohli as well who always maintained that MSD will always be my captain. They don't make such men in cricket Or real life anymore.

You're one of the finest youtubers, no drama no bullshit just the pure information through video and the way you convey is brilliant, now u have made a collection of videos which I'll definitely show my kids to make them feel what cricket is. Just keep it up and we'll supporting you along!
Thanks a lot brother. will try to live upto your praise. Do give any suggestions or video topics you would like videos on. It really helps me in choosing my topics
Dont worry abt giving captaincy on its own or not...dravid was given a chance and well respected by the board...whereas sourav has had the board and everybody against him since 1992 onwards...its just his bat and HIM personally doing everything of its own to make his name like what it is now...even after so much disrespect from board,coach,captain
Now Kholi is gone and Rohit comes in, soon all those supporting Rohit will start to criticize Rohit and ask for next person in line to be the captain ... And so the drama continuessss....... 😂
i dont know where Ganguly's captaincy period gone in your video.. there was no turbulence... only turbulence done by greg chappel..not by any team members... All seniors including sachin respect dada bcz they also get respect... and till date max no of players debut under a captain - Sourav Ganguly...(dont count some force changes)
Your observation was biased towards Dhoni. He did try to emulate Kumble. He was a coward to retire midway through an English series, where India were already losing the series. He was already under fire to give up Test captaincy due to his poor batting form and his overseas win record in SENA countries were abysmal.
I thought you know about the Bombay vs rest of India thing .Many people from this generation don't know about this. People from Bombay like gavaskar ,manjredkar , ravi shashtri have had a hand in this. If u dont believe just wait and watch .Rohit will obviously be made limited overs captain. Rahane will be made test captain . And the bombay lobby will ensure that Bombay players like suryakumar yadav ,Prithvi shaw or Shreyas iyer will be made future captains sidelining players from rest of the country like kl Rahul and Rishabh pant.
I know about it brother, but adding it here would just muddy the core story. Especially given the variety of conflicting reports regarding it. so decided to keep it separate.
Immense thanks to Kohli we have finally winning Tests outside India ,not loosing tests series after tests series. Now only an ICC trophy 🏆 needed. Kohli sir actually not done so much wrong in ICC trophies,he led 3 ICC trophies where India finished in 2 finals and 1 sf. Dhoni did great winning by winning 3 icc trophies but he lost 8 icc trophies leaving those away series specifically tests series. Hope Kohli gets a good run like dhoni atleast he deserves to lead 5 ICC Trophies and let’s see where he finishes. If Kohli sir manages to win this t20 WC which will be not easy at all then without a doubt he will be the best Indian captain and probably one of the greatest captain along with Ricky Ponting or Steve Waugh.
Kohli did nothing team was set by dhoni earlier.. Kohli just bring some approach in test but it's fact that players are good now a days. Besides koli made mistakes in icc tournaments. Final 2019 sending dhoni at number 7 🤷♂️
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.
Excellent content. I love your videos on Indidan cricket. Request to make your target cricket at large as well. May you have continued and further success in future.
Gavaskar (despite 1985) and Sachin were never a captain material. Azhar, Dravid, Kumble & MS were always a better game reader + leader. Kapil, Ganguly & Kohli were not captain materials but they developed their captaincy although not in greatest ways due to their less knowledge & unnecessary aggration.
Tbh Kohli has better win percentage than all previous captains, it's wrong to think u can't be aggressive & smart to lead. Ponting is the best ever captain yet u know he would easily pass as Kohli's father.
@@srikanthsv79 Yep but we should never forget that when he became captain he got all best players, players who outperform our OGs, he got captainship when we were playing our best. Bumrah , hardik, chahal were discovered and given chance and became great players before dhoni handed captainship over to virat. Hence the better win percentage.
@@twentyeightO1 he made the team, the fast bowlers existed during Dhoni's time too yet Dhoni didn't groom them. U know vinay kumar alone has McGrath like stats in Tests but did Dhoni play him? Nope Umesh Yadav is great in tests but did Dhoni groom him? Nope Ishant is our best bowler since 2015 in tests conveniently after Dhoni left, shows who helped him better. Shami improved after Dhoni stepped down as captain again, shows Kohli knows how to groom fast bowlers. Kohli didn't groom spinners well though which Dhoni did so yeah Dhoni relied too much on spinners which made his overseas record absymmal while Kohli focused too much on fast bowlers that even at home we sometimes play only 1 spinner unless it's a spin track.
@@srikanthsv79 It doesn't work like that. Bowlers who did well stayed while others had to leave. Kohli sure relies on pacers but that does mean he did something for them. Dhoni had the great team but only for 2011 wc from then he had try out too many players & combinations, well we found rohit-dhawan duo, bhuvi and ishant were also doing great at that time in odi & tests. Now ishant plays tests only. Ashwin was playing all formats but when virat became captain he lost his place from odi and t20 (was he doing bad? Nope still). Shami, umesh were playing wc 2015 under dhoni's captainship and were getting wickets, remember?
@@twentyeightO1 well Dhoni did have Praveen Kumar, Bhuvi, vinay kumar, shami etc & groomed none, u can see any fast bowler praise Kohli more than Dhoni as Kohli didn't even let guys like Varun Aaron rest while Dhoni didn't hesitate to play 3 spinners overseas because Dhoni just doesn't know how to groom fast bowlers
Please make a documentary of how ipl started in india. root cause..how it gave Indian team young cricketing talents.And what makes it even better than the ranji trophy,vijay haz. or even the inter state level matches..
I hate the way BCCI played pingping with players while choosing the captain of the team. Victories and losses are part and parcel of a game, and every time a captain fails to lead their team toawrds victory, the captaincy would be snatched from them, and then there would be chaos in the team, the players would need time to get accustomed to new captains method and even the person becoming the captain would be under constant pressure, resulting in him being ruthless and tough task master or even tyrant in order to extract excellent performance from his team mates as he would be under constant threat of loosing not only the captaincy but also his spot in playing XI. As a result, he would be hated by his teammates, or they would have a strained relationship. This kind of method is not healthy for the mental condition of players.
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 !!
Dhoni also got test rank 1. He ia often stripped of that credential unfairly. Ofcourse it was previous team. Just like how kohli started with msd s team.
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

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.
Now Rohit Sharma is All Format Captain.
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
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.
Bombay lobby was so bad for our team. Glad it changed (I play in Mumbai cricketing circles myself)
@@siuuuu5234 Never in your life would you hear Australia favours players from New South Wales/Queensland or England prefers players from Lancashire/Yorkshire. But Indian Cricket is just.....
Fantastic quality content!! Keep them coming!!
Make a video on the Ganguly era of Indian cricket... That was the turning point of Indian cricket...
Rahul Dravid again and again prove that why he know as wall where ever he goes he brings positive changes be it captaincy or coaching 💪💪
hey respect to that man from SriLanka❤ i like Dravid
Dravid is ultra Pro max Dhoni. Calm, composed and mature leaders.
WoW.
Just a word to describe your beautiful narrative and those music and animations with those pictures is definitely a very little. What a beautiful narration that was!
I almost felt that I was watching a documentary in a cinema hall.
I have fallen in love with your beautiful voice and narrations now. Saw 5 continuous videos of yours and here I am feeling proud to discover your channel.
Being a fan of cricket, it feels great to know about cricket from a deep point of view. From a perspective, I never knew before. From an angle, that is necessary in today's world.
You really do a great amount of research, I must say. It feels great to know about my favourite player's mind from your videos. Keep making videos, I will be one of your first subscriber (admirer) to watch and adore your beautiful narration.
Cheers and have a great day, Sir.
Please make a video on Ganguly's Arrival and the role of greg chaplle's poor role.
I don't think captaincy would be a bloodbath this time it will end up a peaceful transition
Bahar se peaceful hi lgega
@@ahsansdiary6805 that's how it should be. Jo bhi karo, ghar par karo. Don't take it outside. Keep it in.
May be Dhoni came in as an mentor to just do that. I still feels India needs alteast two captains. One for Test and ODI and one for T20. Since T20 format itself is very diff from test.
Content is never a question on this channel, it's been always a Quality rather other thing i would say is....
Phenomenal narrative capabilities, exceptional pauses you take in between, complete package, one day I wish to meet and greet you.. RESPECT CRICKET RAAZ, YOU HAVE EARNED IT
Dravid, retiring like a boss. 💥❤️
Back here after Kohli's handover of Test captaincy..
When I read the news, the end in the end came to my mind immediately..
"Indian captaincy has always been a shaky boat, always need to be ready for a bumpy ride"
Yaar pls Spotify pe podcast start kar na would like to hear you during long drives 🙂😝
I am serious about it!!!
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!
Great video. Discovered your channel recently and love your channel ❤️
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!
The Man always knows how to start any good changes - Dravid ❤
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.
Love Dravid and the fact someone had will and knowledge of game
Hi admin , I have been watching ur videos repeatedly not only because of m a cricket fan I am like addicted to ur story telling .. here are some of my long time searched stories on ' story behind declination of sl cricket pak cricket South Africa cricket ' gone are those days when I watched our team get thrashed all over park by sa batsmen .. rarely I have seen dominating. I don't see even a contest from these 3 teams now a days. I used to bite my nails and watch even matches against Zimbabwe where flower brothers used to be nightmare for our toothless attack. Pl do a video on where and why the dynamic shift . At presnt it is only contest between eng NZ and india. Bangladesh and aus almost at same stage.
Indian Captains who gave up Captaincy Voluntarily:
1. Sachin
2. Dravid
3. Kumble
4. Dhoni
5. Kohli (As it seems)
Dhoni se jabardasti le gai
Sachin voluntarily? woow
I don't think virat or dhoni should be on the list.
Kohli knows the writing is on the wall, he fails to win another icc trophy his days as white ball captain are done.
Dhoni knew his days as test captain were done after the 1st test vs aus where we showed more fight under kohli in 1 test than we did under dhoni in his last 8 tests there.
Both chose the graceful I Quit rather the humiliating you are fired. Can't exactly call it voluntary though.
@@dethronedhere8045 the second time it was voluntary. The first time he got sacked.
Biharis 😂
Sharing this video with everyone I know..... Weldone brother ❤️
Could you please make a biography of Sourav... His rise then the Chappel issue then his mighty return..
You missed out a very important information . When Tendulkar left captaincy for the 2nd time , in the last test series Ajay Jadeja was brought back to test matches again and selectors hoped and prayed he performs , as Ganguly was never their first choice as captain . Jadeja failed in that test match on the eve of selection and he on record said to Saurav , congrats I know you will be India ‘s next captain as I have failed in test and India wants same captain in all formats .
It is a bumpy ride for viratians
Now the test captainship it's shocking news
Standing in 2023 this video surely deserves a Part 2..great work
You really have a god-gift in story telling 🥰🥰 💖💖💖
Once again an interesting video. However, you could have elaborated a bit. For example during the azar-sachin transitions you just mentioned the time period of their sacking.
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!
As usual excellent narration and google tells me the meaning of some unheard words in between the video😁
I lost all my emotions towards cricket post Dada's retirement.
Seeing this now the transition from virat to rohit seemed really smooth except the media involvement which came down subsequently. And I think it will be the same case in rohit to rahul too..
What a day to release the video on captaincy!!!( RCB vs CSK today)
Beautifully put together
MSD is Just Love ❤️
MSD has always be classy which makes him so different just like Dravid.
How well he transitioned captaincy to Kohli and played amicably. Credit to Kohli as well who always maintained that MSD will always be my captain. They don't make such men in cricket Or real life anymore. 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? Unfortunately most people are not even at that level to understand that guy's maturity. If you want to learn about life, just learn from MSD, you will be sorted!
You are doing great. This is some amazing content. 💗
You're one of the finest youtubers, no drama no bullshit just the pure information through video and the way you convey is brilliant, now u have made a collection of videos which I'll definitely show my kids to make them feel what cricket is. Just keep it up and we'll supporting you along!
Thanks a lot brother.
will try to live upto your praise.
Do give any suggestions or video topics you would like videos on.
It really helps me in choosing my topics
Beautiful narration 👌🏻
Dont worry abt giving captaincy on its own or not...dravid was given a chance and well respected by the board...whereas sourav has had the board and everybody against him since 1992 onwards...its just his bat and HIM personally doing everything of its own to make his name like what it is now...even after so much disrespect from board,coach,captain
9 captains from 1980-1992? Those are rookie numbers today!
Now Kholi is gone and Rohit comes in, soon all those supporting Rohit will start to criticize Rohit and ask for next person in line to be the captain ... And so the drama continuessss....... 😂
Your vedios are just awsome.....the in depth analysis that you do is just out of the world....kudos brother.
i dont know where Ganguly's captaincy period gone in your video..
there was no turbulence... only turbulence done by greg chappel..not by any team members... All seniors including sachin respect dada bcz they also get respect... and till date max no of players debut under a captain - Sourav Ganguly...(dont count some force changes)
On their rise indian captain shines like star. They have absolute power but they fall like fallen star
Please give a video on why Saurav ganguly retired because of match fixing or not please make a video
Azhar was the one involved in match fixing scandal not dada...
I love the way you do the story telling part. Your research is awesome
Bro what about the great dravid please make videos over him
ruclips.net/video/_C9PfP4lrpg/видео.html
Hope you like it.
I accidentally spotted your content. And as a cricket fanatic, I love your content
Your observation was biased towards Dhoni. He did try to emulate Kumble. He was a coward to retire midway through an English series, where India were already losing the series. He was already under fire to give up Test captaincy due to his poor batting form and his overseas win record in SENA countries were abysmal.
What happened in the 1996 world cup semi final, please make a video on that
I thought you know about the Bombay vs rest of India thing .Many people from this generation don't know about this. People from Bombay like gavaskar ,manjredkar , ravi shashtri have had a hand in this. If u dont believe just wait and watch .Rohit will obviously be made limited overs captain. Rahane will be made test captain . And the bombay lobby will ensure that Bombay players like suryakumar yadav ,Prithvi shaw or Shreyas iyer will be made future captains sidelining players from rest of the country like kl Rahul and Rishabh pant.
I know about it brother, but adding it here would just muddy the core story.
Especially given the variety of conflicting reports regarding it.
so decided to keep it separate.
@@cricketraazenglish yeah true 😊
I watch your videos when I am down. Your voice and the story gives me that energy to go further and try new things in life and gets ke there
Immense thanks to Kohli we have finally winning Tests outside India ,not loosing tests series after tests series.
Now only an ICC trophy 🏆 needed.
Kohli sir actually not done so much wrong in ICC trophies,he led 3 ICC trophies where India finished in 2 finals and 1 sf.
Dhoni did great winning by winning 3 icc trophies but he lost 8 icc trophies leaving those away series specifically tests series.
Hope Kohli gets a good run like dhoni atleast he deserves to lead 5 ICC Trophies and let’s see where he finishes.
If Kohli sir manages to win this t20 WC which will be not easy at all then without a doubt he will be the best Indian captain and probably one of the greatest captain along with Ricky Ponting or Steve Waugh.
Thanks Sir got a love from yours meant special.
Dhoni did in 5 years koohki is floo
Kohli did nothing team was set by dhoni earlier.. Kohli just bring some approach in test but it's fact that players are good now a days. Besides koli made mistakes in icc tournaments. Final 2019 sending dhoni at number 7 🤷♂️
Dhoni was the men that show believe you can do
Dhoni had to announce retirement from tests because India was performing very bad in aus
Thanks for no drama in ur video bro 👍
Video is neat and clean thanks for a such video 👌
Who do you think is gonna get captaincy? Rohit for the next WC then some youngster or directly someone new?
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.
We want A video for dada's story
Excellent content. I love your videos on Indidan cricket. Request to make your target cricket at large as well. May you have continued and further success in future.
Dravid ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The contents of video increases day by day 🥰
Gavaskar (despite 1985) and Sachin were never a captain material. Azhar, Dravid, Kumble & MS were always a better game reader + leader. Kapil, Ganguly & Kohli were not captain materials but they developed their captaincy although not in greatest ways due to their less knowledge & unnecessary aggration.
Tbh Kohli has better win percentage than all previous captains, it's wrong to think u can't be aggressive & smart to lead. Ponting is the best ever captain yet u know he would easily pass as Kohli's father.
@@srikanthsv79 Yep but we should never forget that when he became captain he got all best players, players who outperform our OGs, he got captainship when we were playing our best. Bumrah , hardik, chahal were discovered and given chance and became great players before dhoni handed captainship over to virat. Hence the better win percentage.
@@twentyeightO1 he made the team, the fast bowlers existed during Dhoni's time too yet Dhoni didn't groom them.
U know vinay kumar alone has McGrath like stats in Tests but did Dhoni play him? Nope
Umesh Yadav is great in tests but did Dhoni groom him? Nope
Ishant is our best bowler since 2015 in tests conveniently after Dhoni left, shows who helped him better.
Shami improved after Dhoni stepped down as captain again, shows Kohli knows how to groom fast bowlers.
Kohli didn't groom spinners well though which Dhoni did so yeah Dhoni relied too much on spinners which made his overseas record absymmal while Kohli focused too much on fast bowlers that even at home we sometimes play only 1 spinner unless it's a spin track.
@@srikanthsv79 It doesn't work like that. Bowlers who did well stayed while others had to leave. Kohli sure relies on pacers but that does mean he did something for them. Dhoni had the great team but only for 2011 wc from then he had try out too many players & combinations, well we found rohit-dhawan duo, bhuvi and ishant were also doing great at that time in odi & tests. Now ishant plays tests only. Ashwin was playing all formats but when virat became captain he lost his place from odi and t20 (was he doing bad? Nope still). Shami, umesh were playing wc 2015 under dhoni's captainship and were getting wickets, remember?
@@twentyeightO1 well Dhoni did have Praveen Kumar, Bhuvi, vinay kumar, shami etc & groomed none, u can see any fast bowler praise Kohli more than Dhoni as Kohli didn't even let guys like Varun Aaron rest while Dhoni didn't hesitate to play 3 spinners overseas because Dhoni just doesn't know how to groom fast bowlers
Please make a documentary of how ipl started in india. root cause..how it gave Indian team young cricketing talents.And what makes it even better than the ranji trophy,vijay haz. or even the inter state level matches..
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.

I hate the way BCCI played pingping with players while choosing the captain of the team. Victories and losses are part and parcel of a game, and every time a captain fails to lead their team toawrds victory, the captaincy would be snatched from them, and then there would be chaos in the team, the players would need time to get accustomed to new captains method and even the person becoming the captain would be under constant pressure, resulting in him being ruthless and tough task master or even tyrant in order to extract excellent performance from his team mates as he would be under constant threat of loosing not only the captaincy but also his spot in playing XI. As a result, he would be hated by his teammates, or they would have a strained relationship. This kind of method is not healthy for the mental condition of players.
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 !!
Hope it gave u trophies now....
I need a video on how ganguly captaincy era was ended
Dhoni will always be my captain ❤️
Waaw superb man u always makes it special great man
Dhoni also got test rank 1. He ia often stripped of that credential unfairly. Ofcourse it was previous team. Just like how kohli started with msd s team.
Tbh Kohli built the fast bowlers entirely as Dhoni never actually groomed any fast bowler but yeah Dhoni groomed spinners well
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
