It looks like that Indian cricket board has got the
most probable captain as an alternative to Mahendra Singh Dhoni ahead of the
T20 World Cup 2012. It is no other than the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper,
Gautam Gambhir, who has come at the centre of media attention for his sensitive
leadership after successfully leading his team all the way to the title in the
fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
It is known to all that Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Chennai
Super Kings by 5-wicket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and claimed
their maiden IPL trophy. No doubt, with this victory Gambhir won the hearts of
millions of Kolkata fans. What astonished the cricket fans is his leadership
skill. He perfectly guided his IPL club to the title win.
Another important reason that has increased the possibility
of Gambhir to become the captain of national side is Dhoni’s inconsistent
performance at the international level. It seems that Dhoni is facing the
shortage of ideas to guide his team in all three formats of cricket game- Test,
ODI and T20.
It will be very difficult for the selectors to select
Gambhir as captain instead of Dhoni. Most of the selectors should want to go
with Dhoni, but Gambhir could bring freshness in leadership and perhaps can
help the Indian cricket team to get back the T20 World Cup again.
The T20 World Cup 2012 is slated to be played in Sri
Lanka in September.
