I mean who’s going to be the next test captain of India? Ideally it should be Dhoni since he’s already incharge of the one-day team but there have been reports in the Indian press in the past re. Tendu being interested in Indian test captaincy although I cannot find anything to that effect on the Indian news websites lately. Do any of the Indian guppies have any more knowledge on this?
Re: So who is it going to be?..
Tendu? Again? 
Re: So who is it going to be?..
Well there’s something here but it’s all pure conjecture at the moment.

The Test captaincy
The other big announcement concerns the Test captaincy - though the selectors have decided to defer that a bit. When the moment arrives, it is widely expected to be a two-horse race featuring Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Tendulkar. A two-captain policy, one for Tests and the other for the shorter formats, is unprecedented in India but the chances of Tendulkar being given another shot at the job, one that he last held in 2000, look increasingly likely at the moment.
With a big home series against Pakistan and an equally important away assignment in Australia coming up, the selectors might decide to offer the reins to the most experienced hand in Indian cricket. Tendulkar’s Test captaincy record, spread over two terms, is a woeful one - he has won just four of 25 Tests - but the respect he commands from the entire side, and his talismanic value, would work in his favour. The selectors have three other options in front of them - India’s winning-est captain, Ganguly, legspinner Anil Kumble, and middle-order batsman VVS Laxman - but these seem to be candidates only on paper.
Re: So who is it going to be?...
Dhoni looks riskly. Ganguly is toxic. Yuvraj rarely plays test. Tendulkar is favourite to take over.
Just for the sake of discussion? Who should be the next captain?
Re: So who is it going to be?...
I think Dhoni would be it.
After all this outcry following the dropping of Dravid....I think the selectors would not like to be seen favoring another senior - Tendulkar - instead.
By apponting Dhoni, they would want to give the impression they have some kind of a plan for the future - which, btw, they haven't.
Re: So who is it going to be?...
Guys i believe Tendulkar has accepted the test-captaincy for the next 10 tests which include pakistan, australia and south africa series. This is to groom Dhoni.
I think its a good move instead of putting so many responsibilities on Dhoni all of a sudden, he can take a break, learn to analyze the test arena etc etc
saw it on the news
was on couple of indian websites as well after that
official announcement will take place after some meeting soon
Re: So who is it going to be?...
Tendulkar to groom Dhoni. Interesting.
Re: So who is it going to be?...
Definetly should be Dhoni. Tendu is a tried and tested failure when it comes to captaincy. Dhoni has been an impressive and aggressive captain in 20/20 and ODI's. He's definetly got it in him to be a great captain for India in the long run.
Dhoni should be captain and Yuvraj should be VC. Keep the likes of Tendu and Ganguly away from captaincy, even though, in his prime...Ganguly was a fantastic captain.
