Is it a right decision or a wrong decision?
I think that he was good enough to lead Indian team for the next 1 year atleast. I know he is not a great captain but still i think among the seniors of our team he is the best person to lead the team.
i don't think that Yuvraj & Dhoni are ready to lead the team. They need some time.
Rahul is a very uncontroversial kind of a guy. He is simple & with no big 'EGO' like Ganguly. He is a permanent member of the team. He is respected by everyone. So i think this decision has come at a very wrong time.
Indian team is still recovering from the poor show at WC. They need a captain like Rahul.
Not many people realize that Rahul is doing a job under a lot of pressure.

I have given the first four answerer a thumbs up for giving good & +ve answers.
Re:Piyaa - Ma'm in India & Pakistan , captaincy is not as easy as in Australia, South Africa & England. In these two countries captain is always under the hammer & is blaimed for every mistake. The guy who's the captain in India & Pakistan takes a lot of pressure off the other members of the side. Many people don't realize this.
Rahul is very under-rated when it comes to captaincy. This is the same captain which led India to a 6-1 win over Sri Lanka.
This is the same captain which led India to a 4-1 win over Pakistan.
He is the first captain to win a series in West Indies in i think 31 years or more.
First captain to win a test match in South Africa.
I AM NOT AT ALL TRYING TO SAY THAT HE IS A GREAT CAPTAIN.
But he's a decent captain. He has his own style. He is aggressive in his decisions sometimes, may be not in the body language. Ganguly is for sure better than Rahul as a captain.

Re : mm - Again good to see you man. Agree with you. Rahul has done a lot for our national team. He is very under rated. He is such a nice person. Cheers

I fully agree with you that under the present circumstances, Rahul Dravid is the best person to lead Indian team. Though there have been lot of criticism about his captaioncy, he should have ignored them and continued as captain some more time and should have resigned atleast after the series against Australia and Pakistan.

first of each and every of the 35+ adult men i.e Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid and Laxman could desire to retire or be sacked as this old age in not for enjoying worldwide cricket. they're enjoying on just to make funds! And assessments and 50 over suits are quickly going to be history so Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni be made captain and vice-captain for India respectively! in common terms they're suited interior the well known 20-20s!

A gentleman and a selfless player but somehow who could not assert himself as a captain.To captain the Indian team should really been exhausting to him.Yet he had more successes than his predecessors.In the absence of an experienced successor India will definitely at a loss.This will release him from some pressure and to that extent let us hope he excels in batting.

This looks like aself made decision,rather then a influenced decision and it should be respected.When a Player himself says he cant handle the burden, then you cant force it upon him.
Dravids contribution as a Captain should be commended,he got us series victory in West Indies,England,Bangladesh,Pakistan and test win in South africa.

i think rahul took the decision in correct time. rahul,sachin,saurav is senior player of India. the can retire most probably in same time.
then who will lead India. so we have to find new captain quickly.
you told...rahul is doing great job under pressure....
can u tell me what is the pressure? ganguly did not have pressure?ganguly did not do great job(with is 'ego')?

It's not fair to put Ganguly ahead of Rahul. Both should be ranked equally. Its really unfortunate that he has decided to step down.

his batting has been affected off late. india also does not have a full time coach. BCCI has to bring some stability to the team with appointing a coach and captain for a longer tenure.

i think that was a really wise decision by him, especially since his batting was degrading noticeably... i hope his batting will come back to the form by which he came to be known as "THE WALL"... maybe Dhoni or Yuvraj or even D.Karthik can take over as the captain...
