Being an extraordinary player and being an incredible pioneer is totally unique. There was a period in the game when the best player in the playing XI was given the captaincy, yet time has indicated that many have neglected to adapt to the weight of captaincy regardless of having overwhelmed the game with their unmatched cricketing aptitudes.

Driving a cricket crew is certifiably not a comfortable occupation, and that too in a nation like India where cricket is praised as a religion.
