We have to find out with time whether Babar Azam could play his natural game being a captain, Kohli is the best captain right now because he started performing better being a captain and if you look at the statistics you will come to know, so you never know how Babar Azam is going to perform and let us not judge him now.

Kohli was a specialist when there is a challenge in front of him and he showed those glimpses when he first came to the team and when he was chasing the score he was a really different player and he was the captain of the junior team which won the world cup too, so he was a naturally successor to Dhoni but he is yet to prove his true potential as a captain but he already proved that he is the best batsman.

Actually, as the captain, I don't think that Babar Azam will even be able to continue to play like before. IMO, it's going to be a double loss for the team:

Along with Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam is one of the most important players in the Pakistani batting lineup. And this is exactly why I don't want him to be under any sort of pressure. I still remember the time when Sachin Tendulkar was made the captain of India. Back then Sachin wanted the captaincy, but in the end the board decided to relieve him of this position after his performance as a batsmen got affected. And that's how Saurav Ganguly became the captain. And Ganguly became one of the most successful Indian captains of all time.

Kohli always had in-game chats with Dhoni when Dhoni used to be captain. He also was captain in his IPL team so he probably has good time to test strategies out. Overall I think everything needs time and I think Babar Azam will also be able to a good captain but will certainly need some time.

BTW now that Sarfaraz is sacked as captain, any ideas about his future? Will he be in team still?

Most chances now he will be not in test and twenty team but as board already saying they will announces ODI captain later so may be they consider him for this format and he will available but not good chance for him as right now mostly peoples in team management against him.

Yes, Sarfaraz is not getting from his teammate's support it shows the result of Lossing the t20 series with Srilanka in their home town, Sarfaraz has a good chance to show his captaincy skills upcoming series with Australia, before that Sarfaraz have done too much hard work to get his form back otherwise he will lose the ODI captain. maybe he loses chances from the Pak team.

Hands down Dhoni is the best captain India ever had and no one comes close to that and the Indian management played a big role in helping Kohli to take over as the captain when Dhoni was still in the team.

If you look at the history of Pakistan cricket if they sack a captain because of the teams failure they will not be in the team after that and usually they retire after being sacked, will there be a change this time is yet to be seen because he was also not in good form when the team was struggling.

Actually, as the captain, I don't think that Babar Azam will even be able to continue to play like before. IMO, it's going to be a double loss for the team:

-losing Babar Azam's performance
-losing Sarfaraz's captaincy

Sometimes, drastic decisions are required for the greater good of the team. So many people kept moaning and complaining that Pakistan need to make some drastic changes etc, but are now moaning again now that a big change happened.

Experimenting is essential and Misbah did the right thing here(He knew he would be under a lot of pressure), but decided to go through with it which is why it is better to stay optimistic which is why I believe that Azam will become an excellent captain just like Kohli.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

BTW now that Sarfaraz is sacked as captain, any ideas about his future? Will he be in team still?

He wont be selected in the team in the near future, Pakistan will be selecting a new team for their tour to Australia and they will be playing T20 and Test matches and there is no ODI scheduled for Pakistan this year and more over Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal are not selected for the tour as per the reports and there will be a complete change for the tour to Australia.

Critics like to challenge and question every decision and that is what we are seeing here too  .

Well Kohli also respects him a lot as he also still asks for Dhoni's input inside the game which is a very good character and a correct direction for becoming a successful captain. Dhoni has seen a lot and he is well experienced with strategies a team need to place at specific point of game. There is lot to learn about and respecting each teammates views and analyzing the situation and making a decision is a easy and fast way. Otherwise you will only be testing out strategies and who knows whether it might work or not.

Quite true, Sarfaraz to be sacked was something that I felt it coming (I guess everyone did). He has a good character but his decisions in WC were questioned by many. He is currently now 32 so I would say he is kinda getting old plus on other hand his recent performance also pushed the Board to make the decision.

Either way change is also a part of the game so lets see how it goes down for Pakistan with new captain and wicketkeeper. It surely won't be easy.

The process is really good, Ganguly, Sachin and Kumble helped Dhoni to develop as a good captain and Dhoni is passing the torch to Kohli, in Test matches Kohli is the better captain because of his aggressive approach to the game and so is the reason we are seeing results rather than draws and i rate him higher in that aspect and this is my opinion as a cricket fan.

Currently we can say Kohli is one of best test captains as his agression is his best weapon this happen just because of his love with cricket and good support from Dhoni this started from as mention Great Ganguly he was real hero for Indian agreesvie cricket now we will watch this for some more time as they are going in good and strong back of good cricketers in domestic cricket.

Kohli is one of the best cricketer, but if there isn't no mutual play from rest of the players he can't be the best captain. Looking at the previous test match India had the home advantage, but looking upon individual performance each and everyone played good cricket. The combined effort is the reason for the winning than aggressive play.

Ganguly was the best captain India ever had and Dhoni doesn't come even close. Dhoni started off very well, but very soon he got involved in team politics by favoring Chennai Super Kings/Chennai Cements players such as Dinesh Karthik, Ashwin, Jadeja and Raina. This resulted in some of the other players forming their own cabal under Virat Kohli.

Also, it needs to be remembered that Dhoni to this day remains loyal to N Srinivasan, the person who did irreparable damage to both Indian cricket and world cricket. CSK managed to earn huge amounts of money by fixing their matches, but they got one or two years of suspension and after that they were included back in the IPL.

Well I did heard about Dhoni favouring his CSK players more than others but anyway I am not saying that who is the best but right now every captain till now we had have played an important role in achieving the ranks we enjoy today. IPL are full of controversies and who knows what was the actual thing behind. If one gets caught they drag others with themselves so its hard to picture the actual mastermind.

It is hard to understand what goes behind closed doors but as a captain Dhoni was the best and IPL is pure business but it produces some talents in the team, Ashwin started his career in the IPL and so does many others and then became world class players so the contribution of IPL cannot be rejected and many people are coming forward to take cricket as a career because of the opportunities available right now.

Lol. I disagree. MS Dhoni is a legend who is the greatest Indian captain so far with Ganguly trailing behind him at this point. No other Indian captain was able to achieve the historical feats that he achieved especially when the Indian team was under pressure.

Team politics is a part of any sport(Not just Cricket) and every captain favors certain players. CSK was already screwed for 2 years thanks to their administration(Not the players) and they bounced back in a remarkable fashion. Think before posting wild statements about CSK fixing matches etc(I am a fan of SRH btw).

If there is no unity in a team they are not able to perform well and no captain can favor a player who is not having the caliber to perform, match fixing is predominant in sports but i did not understand your statement here, how the actions of an administration let the entire team to be banned, several teams were banned when there was a match fixing scandal in the IPL and CSK was also banned during that time if i am not wrong. 

[ene1980]

It is true that the team is banned because one of the administrative members were caught placing illegal bets and they got banned for two years on that grounds but other than that nothing is public and none of the players from CSK were banned so not sure what happened. There were many controversial things throughout the history of the tournament and whether the CSK players were involved is still a mystery.

The owner of CSK was placing bets on his own team. And he was betting against the Chennai Super Kings. Anyone with an IQ level of more than 80 would understand what was going on. But they got away with just a slap on the wrist. After two years, they were re-admitted to the IPL. None of the players were even investigated, and the wife of the accused (Rupa Gurunath) was recently elected as the president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA).

Now compare this to the treatment meted out to S Sreesanth (who was in the camp which was opposed to N Srinivasan). He was banned for life, and the BCCI refused to reconsider the decision even after he was acquitted by the court. On the other hand, Gurunath Meiyappan admitted his guilt and was back in power after two years. Sreesanth always claimed that the conspiracy against him was hatched by the right-hand man of Srinivasan, Dinesh Karthik. Sreesanth was one of the best pace bowlers back then and his career was destroyed. Karthik on the other hand got a huge number of opportunities, although he was completely useless.

I place Sourav Ganguly in a higher regard than any other captain because he started the trend of winning outside India, earlier i remember clearly that when ever India tour outside the subcontinent there is no way that India is able to win but when Sourav Ganguly became the captain he started winning outside and he picked team members from club cricket and Dhoni was picked in the team by Ganguly and he promoted him in the batting order and he made wonders and he stick with Yuraj for a long time even when he was not performing with the bat and he was instrumental in India winning the 2011 world cup and Dhoni continued that legacy and now Kohli and now India is the best team in world cricket and it all started with Ganguly in my opinion.
