presure and become no1 captain in india cricket by achiving gr8
records( going wc final with a young team,beat aus,pakistan and many
more)also superb captaincy in test criket(huge records), in no 6 pos
near 6000 runs...remarkable
>>more than 70% runs ar scored when team needed(not like sachin who
does not take any resposiblity),in wc quterfinal & semi final if he
does'nt score then india not reched the final---must rember thing

>>by keeping rahul darvid in the one day team(today he is near
10000) he also done great contrubution(people may forget it somtimes)
