What it will require from him is a change in the way he captains, a recognition that he can&#8217;t do everything all the time, and the willingness to ask for and accept help,&#8221; Dravid said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dhoni has got to recognise that he can&#8217;t continue to captain and play all the time, because it is making him stale&#8230; To start with, Dhoni could easily give up the India T20 and Chennai Super Kings captaincies&#8230;He needs to take breaks between captaining and keeping and playing,&#8221; he wrote in his &#8216;ESPNCricinfo&#8217; column.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He should certainly play ODIs and T20s for India, because he is invaluable to the side. Giving up a couple of captaincy roles might give him more time in the main India job and the freshness to keep doing it. It would also give India an opportunity to perhaps give someone like (Virat) Kohli a chance to be T20 captain, break him into the job and see how he goes,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is under criticism for India\u2019s losses in the last one-and-half years, has found a supporter in former India captain Rahul Dravid who on Thursday said that Dhoni is the &#8220;only man&#8221; capable of leading the Test team.
