As a last minute surprise, Kumble did not play in the eleven due to fitness issues. With everyone expecting the pitch to favor the spinners, skipper not leading from the front has definitely put a break in the Indian camp.
Trailing the series 0-1, Sachin not fit, Kumble's omission will be a big worry for the Indian team.
Dhoni has been asked to lead the country one more time. He has already proved his skills in short version of the game--the one-day and the 20-20. If he accepts the challenge and proves himself, it is good for India.
He is the first wicket keeper to captain India, which means, this is his first test as captain. We have to wait and see whether his captainship form continues in Kanpur!
