Rift is detrimental to cricket

It is not good that the rift in Indian Cricket team has come into open. Discussion among players must not come out of Dressing room. What should be discussed inside must be stated in public. The morale of Indian cricket team is at its lowest ebb because of several defeats in a row.
It is natural that the rift would develop in the given situation of disastrous performance in the two test series one against England and the other against Australia.
India have lost all the 8 test matches in the two series played abroad. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni being the captain of the team owes greater responsibility. This is almost the first time in the history of test matches that India has performed so shabbily in all the eight test matches they played abroad. Not even a single team member whether it is junior or senior played up to his potential in any one of the eight tests.
Dhoni leads the team. So, he should first introspect why India have reached to such a pathetic stage rather than advocating for rotation system under which the youngsters should be given opportunity and seniors should be rested. Dhoni says that senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virendra Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir are slow fielders and because of their slow fielding India loose at least 20 runs. It is not in the interest of the team that the captain should speak openly that denigrates the playing abilities of senior players.
Responding Dhoni’s statement of slow fielding by senior players, Virendra Sehwag, stand-in-captain, has explained clearly by asking the reporters who were taking his reactions that they had ever seen him taking the catch. Sehwag states that he is fielding the same as he was doing 10 years back. It means that Sehwag has definitely not liked his captain’s statement and it also makes clear that serious rift persists among the players of Indian cricket. The time has come for BCCI to think of appointing three captains one each for every format of the game.
It is beyond any doubt that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has not been as successful a captain of test cricket team as of one dayer or Twenty20. So, Dhoni must exit honorably as test captain and give for other aspirant team member and he should lead One dayer of which he is also a terrific player.
It would be detrimental to Indian cricket if the rift was allowed to persist and BCCI looked the other way to generate only money as always. BCCI in the interest of Indian cricket deal with the situation promptly. Indian cricket team is passing through one of the worst phases.
Rifts in the Indian cricket team has widened after stand-in-skipper Virender Sehwag publically taken a dig at regular captain MS Dhoni.

The controversial rotation policy, which has sparked of a heated debate among critics and speculation of a rift within the team, took a more confusing turn with Virender Sehwag saying he did not know that fielding abilities had anything to do with it.
