Dhoni, Yuvaraj, Sourav Ganguly, Captaincy Material, T20, Indian Team

With T20 semifinals due to start today between India vs Australia, lot of discussion and expectations as usual from Indian fans aired around.
MS. Dhoni, had done a wonderful job as a captain but in T20 there isn't much a captain need to use his brain as in other formats of the game. Dhoni is a dynamic cricket with natural talent; his aggression is controlled in batting hence we expect him to be the same even while leading the team. We need to wait and watch.
Other man in the news - Yuvi, Yuvaraj, not doubt he is supremely talented and we should agree with Ajay Jadeja when he said "he is more talented than even Tendulkar", but his talent isn't supported or held by the head as Tendulkar's. Tendulkar succeeded since he never took success to his head and not many talented survived when they cant hold their head in the right place. Yuvi, is a naturally aggressive player with supreme confidence in his own ability which sometimes is the cause of his downfall. So with all his little known nature to fans like me, if he is the captain, he is bound to take battle into the enemies ground proudly and boldly maybe even unaware of what his real strength might be that his aggression. Which means, if he succeeds he is a super hero. He might be as aggressive as Sourav Ganguly but Sourav had a much experienced and fearless head.
Yuvaraj's father has decided to be his mouth piece but telling the media that his son is upset since he didn't get the captaincy, father shouldn't comment such things which might go against Yuvi's reputation with the board and even with the team members. He shouldn't put unnecessary things in the air since it will have only negative views and impression and will not influence selectors or Yuvaraj's fan.
Sourav Ganguly - I like him as a captain, he had the aggression which sometimes when out of controlled when stirred unnecessarily. His T-Shirt swinging was a hit with many though it had its negative sides, it is his strength to prove to his opponent after laying them down under his feet that he is a champion capable of doing the same act that has provoked the Indian fans and Sourav. Just imagine the strength in his mind to comeback after Chapell's regime with Indian cricket as a coach. He was determined and despite of our Old cricketer's screaming through the media for younger blood, he made his way back into the team and until now hasn't failed. There is a huge difference in their stares when a catch is dropped or mis-field; Sourav's stare had the aggression that went deep into his heart, Dravid stare was soft yet he did his best until he could take or accept it.
Whatever or Whoever maybe the captain, if India wins he will be hailed as a great captain and when India loses Captain's the cause. So it's a thankless job.
Despite of all the talent, who rules the world will be the one who have the strength in his mind, PASSION to be one up and head in the right place. Passion for excellence is the meaning of SUCCESS.
Cheer!!!
It's Robin's view again.
