: Good comeback from New Zealand. India was great and they deserved a win.. Good job by both teams

Ganguly looks set to miss the 2nd Test.

Yuvraj Singh is set to replace him, with Rahul Dravid taking over the captaincy.

Read about it here.

I am sure Dravid will do a good job just like he has done in past

 

[andrew_nixon]

He's captained India on 3 occasions in the past.

Once in the unofficial "Test" against South Africa back in 2001 (which India lost) and twice in ODIs (India won both)

This is his first time captaining in a Test Match.

Lets hope he does everything fine.

good luck to Indian team
