Team India: Due to the failure of Team India during his leadership in the year 2007, Rahul Dravid had decided to relinquish the captaincy, after which the great batsman wanted to make Sachin Tendulkar the captain of a legendary Indian team, but this could not happen.

In 2007, this veteran wanted to make Sachin the captain instead of Dravid

Today is the 82nd birthday of former BCCI President Sharad Pawar. Sharad Pawar was the President of BCCI from 2005 to 2008. Sharad Pawar himself once made a big disclosure and told that in the year 2007, when Team India was on a tour of England, the then captain Rahul Dravid came to him and told his decision to leave the captaincy. According to Rahul Dravid, his batting was being affected by the captaincy. Sharad Pawar said, 'When I wanted to hand over the captaincy of Team India to Sachin Tendulkar after Rahul Dravid's decision to relinquish the captaincy, he flatly refused.

Sachin Tendulkar refused

Please tell that Sachin Tendulkar had captained Team India from the year 1996 to the year 2000, but seeing the impact on his own batting, he also said goodbye to the captaincy. Under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar, Team India was destined to win only 23 matches out of 73 ODIs. At the same time, under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar, Team India won only 4 out of 25 Test matches. When Sachin Tendulkar was asked by Sharad Pawar to take over the captaincy of Team India again in the year 2007, he refused for the same reason.

Sharad Pawar revealed that Sachin Tendulkar himself refused to captain, but he gave the best idea of making Mahendra Singh Dhoni the new captain. Sharad Pawar said, 'Sachin Tendulkar then told me that there is one player who can captain Team India and that is Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After this we had decided to make Mahendra Singh Dhoni the new captain of Team India.
