Yes, coz after becoming captain his performance is going down since he is handling much responsibilities.
Hence I feel Sourav Ganguly should be made captain coz he was the most successful captain of India n also if we see his present form he has all the ability to cope up with every thing.

Yes, Dravid should step down as captain, owning moral responsibility to the team's debacle in the WC 2007. It may be the collective failure of the team, but the loss against Bangladesh is inexplicable and atrocious. Had India won their matches against Bangladesh and Srilanka, would Dravid not have posed proudly? It is high time Dravid and the "so called" seniors retire from International cricket, and inject fresh blood into the Indian cricket, which lies in a "coma" stage at the moment !

Why?His batting has not faultered.Gavaskar too said this.We people are not able to think on our own and if we develop an idea we stick by it.Dravid was nominated by the ICC for the best captain award and he was sort of second as he lost to Jayawardane.Tell me has ICC not got a mind of its own?dont they know who is a good captain?and he has continued to be a great player and will be.Aggression is not the only criteria of being a good captain.Dravid has an astute mind.What else does a captain need?I feel we dont need a captain who takes off his shirt when the team wins and bites his nails when they need him the most.If one sees Sorav's record,then you may say he has performed well but if you take a closer look you will find that he was more bothered about scoring a century in the 2 matches when he scored half centuries and nit worried about the team's needs.We dont need such a player in the team.Rahul is a gentleman and well a player of that era when cricket was still considered a gentleman's game.He goes on well along all sorts of people and is a no controversy man.You dont want controversies ruling Indian cricket.Do you?He is a great player and a good captain.He should and will continue.

No. A captain cannot win a game. It requires the collective effort. If the big names in the team do not play consistently, what can the captain or the coach do? Dravid as a player, did well with the bat. There is no point raising accusing fingers, against all those matter in the team. Let the time heal the disappointment in every body's mind.

Off course!!! Dravid should leave captaincy.I think Ganguly is
better than Dravid. Bcoz captain's nature should be aggressive. Its not in Dravid. So Dravid should leave captaincy.

There is a strong possibility that Rahul Dravid might not accept the captaincy if it was offered to him.
"The Wall" apparently has been a bemused spectator at the "volley of words" flying back and forth between Greg Chappell and Sachin Tendulkar with possibly no-one deeming it fit to consult him.
Neither the Chappell leaks nor Tendulkar's stance has been at the behest of Dravid nor was he taken into confidence.
This when Dravid had made a personal request to all in the Indian dressing room to avoid the "blame-game"
after the team had been annihilated by Sri Lanka on March 23.
Dravid had then thanked everyone in the squad and requested them not to indulge in mud-slinging in public as he suspected, rightly so as borne by events, that accusations would fly thick and fast.
Dravid will also have to consider if it would be right for him to accept captaincy if he doesn't have the support of key members of the squad.
A senior board official has confirmed that there would be a concerted effort on Board's part to ensure that Dravid doesn't refuse captaincy if it was offered to him.
Meanwhile a senior member of the Indian cricket team has denounced suggestions that Sachin Tendulkar accepted vice-captaincy in order to further his own personal ambitions.
"Tendulkar accepted vice-captaincy because he wasn't quite happy with the tactical nuances of Dravid and Chappell during a game and wanted to have his input on those matters," said the senior member.
According to this cricketer, Tendulkar was unhappy that he wasn't given to bowl against South Africa in their second innings in the Cape Town Test when the match was hanging in balance.
Tendulkar apparently wanted to bowl but he was not encouraged by the team management of Dravid and Chappell.
He was brought on very late and by then South Africa had more or less been assured of victory. Later home captain Graeme Smith was to say that things would have been different had Tendulkar bowled 15 or 20 overs.
"That's the reason he accepted vice-captaincy. It wasn't as if he was keen to be captain of India," remarked the senior member.
Apparently Tendulkar was also upset that he was asked to bat in the middle-order when 37 of his 41 hundreds had been scored as an opener.
He could have also felt that Ian Chappell's recent attack on him, asking him to retire, had been at the behest of his younger brother Greg Chappell.
