What do you think of Mohammed Kaif as the new vice captain of India?

Question

The following are the arguments in favour of Kaif.
1. He was the capitain of the only under 19 world cup winning squad.
2. He was vice captain of the only under 15 world cup winning squad
3. He was part of the world cup squad that went to the final of the world cup 2003
4. He has captained UP to Ranji trophy champinships in tests and ODI's
5. He plays terrifically under pressure
6. He can field and save 20-30 runs
7. His absence in this edition of the world cup showed as the fielding was pathetic, the running between the wickets left a lot to be desired and there was no one to stay at one end as all big hitters went hammer and tongs and got no where
8. He was left out of the team to the world cup inspite of being the second highest scorer in the West Indies ODI's and scoring a big test century there. The series against West Indies should have been won had not Yuvraj Singh messed up the second ODI and the rain factor
9. He was the man of the series against Bangladesh last time

Answer 1

First of all Mohammed Kaif needs to be brought back into the team. His fielding and batting in the middle order are both important to the Indian side. He is considered to be the next Mohd. Azharuddin in the making in terms of his batting skills and his tenacity to lead. He should be in the team and a regular on top of that. He also needs to be given chances to lead the team in absence of the seniors as Yuvraj has done on several occasions. Yuvraj and Kaif are the future of Indian cricket and BCCI needs to groom them to be leaders of the future.

Answer 2

While I fully agree with your views, the fact remain that he is not a member of presnet Indian Team and it is not certain at this point of time whether he will be included in the Team for Bangladesh Tour. That is the reason why Yuvaraj Singh has been appointed as Vice Captain for Bangladesh Tour.

Answer 3

i think him not as a vice captain but as the future captain within the next two years.he had already rocked the ranji odis with an average of nearly 91.63 the highest average by a batsmen in that series and highest run scorer with one 150,119 and three half centuries

Answer 4

Indian cricket team is at rock bottom and whatever is left shall be finished if Kaif is appointed as the new vice captain of India.

Answer 5

at the moment he does no longer have an section except the middle order starting up from Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman and Ganguly fail to provide in attempt matches. He has the flair and shown captaincy textile for attempt cricket. yet he has failed miserably in ODIs and were given chance to practice himself. at the same time as the right 4 batsmen retire or compelled to retire or dropped he has a sturdy probability of foremost India in attempt cricket. In ODI that's an total diverse tale.

Answer 6

Definately he was an excellent player. His presence in indian cricket team is compulsary.He should be taken for rest of the series which were going to play by indian cricket team. I think he has capability to handle the team in any moment. And he is an excellent fielder,no doubt about it.

Answer 7

ya... i think he wil be the best captain coz you can see him cheering the players and being active in the feild and he will be good example for the other team mates in the area of feilding and running between the wickets,which is currently lagging now in INDIAN team...

Answer 8

first he should be selected into the team after seeing his performance we can consider whether he is eligible to be a captain or vice captain

Answer 9

Yes he is able to rule as VIce captain.
