DC does not have keepers other than Sanga. So looks like he is a certainty for the xi and captaincy. He is a poor captain IMO

Have Punjab made Gilly the captain? He sucked as a batsman last time - If he doesn't score he is just wasting a foreign player slot.

Should have gone with D Hussey or maybe even KKD?

Kaif can never be our skipper. Infact I feel he is just a standby player for someone like Pujara. We bought him just for show-off, that is what I presume. Mallya was bidding in his hometurf and he wanted to be the final bidder. I am sure if someone else had bid further, he would have said No!Thanks, you can keep him. Anyway a decent buy for the money, we can use him as a sub fielder.

Well, I am not what you think, atleast I have basic courtesy unlike one bugger who feels that Dravid is not a T-20 player. His father had to make up for his blundering son with some polite words which still meant the same anyway.
