I'd like to think that every captain around the world has a vision of how they want their teams to play and most of them are allowed to take their teams forward in their own way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The team should have implicit confidence in the captain's decisions.
As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad.
I am a great believer that a captain is as good as his team.
Any captain can only do his best for the team and for cricket. When you are winning, you are a hero. Lose, and the backslappers fade away.
The big upside to being captain is it's a huge honour, but the downside is that there is definitely extra pressure.
I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.
I'm a forward, but I can't be the only forward at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several strikers.
But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.
My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.
I think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.
