Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
What ever the reason he took a decision and resigned. Some people wouldn't even resign even when the pressure was on them to do so.

**Tendulkar offered Test, ODI captaincy!
**
Sachin Tendulkar will take over as the skipper of both the Test and the One-Day team.According to sources, the selection committee has already spoken to Tendulkar and the Little Master has agreed to lead the Indian team although he will take another two days to give his final word.
Tendulkar has told the selection committee that he is willing to lead the Test and One-Day team once again but he should be appointed the captain on a series to series basis.
India Twenty20 skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be Tendulkar’s deputy in both the teams, the sources added.
The post of the Indian Test and One-Day skipper fell vacant after Rahul Dravid decided to call it quits.

Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
This is sad, I had tremendous respect for Dravid, Tendi nothing exciting as a captain. It is sad that politics is creeping into Indian team as well.
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
i reckon that ganguly may again be a able to retake the captaincy of the team india.
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
Yeah Ganguly and not Tendu should be the new captain
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
Tendulkar as captain? Yikes!
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
but he’s just resigning as captain of the team. So, he’ll still be playing and you’ll get to see more of him. He’s always been mr. dependable
PS: Irfan pathan is a lot better looking don’t you think 
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
It seems somebody is pulling strings from behind.there r 90% of chances of tendulkar leading the side.
Re: Dravid resigns as India captain
Why Rahul Dravid stepped down?](Why Rahul Dravid stepped down)
He may have told the BCCI chief Sharad Pawar that he wants to concentrate on his batting. But only those unaware of the dirty politics rampant in Indian cricket since time immemorial, will take Dravid at his word.It is not difficult to see Dravid is not telling the truth for obvious reasons. Being a thorough gentleman, Dravid would probably never disclose the actual reasons for his abrupt decision, considering he had just led his team to a Test series win on English soil after 21 years.
A key member of Team India told rediff.com on condition of anonymity that Dravid was “feeling suffocated”, not because of the weight of captaincy affecting his batting, but because “certain people from outside tended to dictate to him as to what he should do and what he shouldn’t” as a captain.“You could clearly see Dravid had been feeling some sort of indirect, mental pressure from the always powerful Mumbai lobby, which has again swung into action since Pawar has become the BCCI president,” he added.
What lends further credence to the theory that the Mumbai lobby had been secretly working against Dravid is Sachin Tendulkar’s comments on the England tour itself that he hadn’t “enjoyed” his previous innings as the Indian captain. Tendulkar was reported to have made such remarks on Sky TV’s serial Indian Pioneers in the middle of the Test series.And within hours of Dravid tendering his resignation from the captaincy the BCCI has sounded out Tendulkar to take over the reins of Team India.
A man of quiet dignity, Dravid has always played the game and steered clear of controversies. He could withstand even a sustained attack from the media and former cricketers-turned-critics for having not enforced the follow-on on England in the third and final Test at The Oval and squandering a golden opportunity of winning the series 2-0; but certainly not the skilful political manoeuvrings the BCCI bossess are masters at.Dravid has proved his leadership ability in his own humble way despite the limited resources at his command and the outside pressure he was invariably subjected to. However, a person of his temperament can neither stand all this nor continue any longer in such a scenario, especially when he has realised that captaincy has begun to affect his batting.
With the tough series coming up against the world champion Australia, first in India and later Down Under, Dravid has taken a wise decision to relinquish the captaincy on a winning note. His batting is far too important to Team India than his captaincy.
