New Delhi, Oct 20: Former India cricket captain Kapil Dev backed current skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni after questions were raised on his abilities as a team leader.
The 1983 World Cup winning captain said that Dhoni's success has led people to expect a lot from him.
"How can we expect him to win every tournament for India? We have a captain who got India the No.1 rankings in Tests. He won us the 50-over World Cup and the World Twenty20. Because of all this, our expectations have risen from him and when once in a while he fails, people start pointing fingers at him," said Kapil on the sidelines of the Fenesta Open National Tennis Championships, where he had come as a chief guest.
Kapil also dismissed talks on the multiple captain theory for India.
"When we have a captain who can handle all three forms of the game then what is the problem? He is a big player that is why people point fingers at him or question him."
