"Sachin Tendulkar’s refusal to take on the responsibility of captaining India has left me shocked and disappointed," writes Gundappa Viswanath in the Hindu.
The obvious question now is, if not Sachin who. The very fact that the selectors opted for Sachin in the first place is an indicator that they, perhaps, think that Mahendra Dhoni is not ready yet. If that is the case, they should not look beyond Anil Kumble, who unlike the other possible candidate Sourav Ganguly, has retired from ODIs, thus ensuring there will no real clash with Dhoni’s current responsibilities.
