Dravid reveals he wasn't enjoying captaincy

Rahul Dravid, who resigned as captain of the Indian Test and One-Day team, revealed on Monday that he relinquished his post as he was not enjoying his stint.

"I was not enjoying captaincy of the Indian team," Dravid told PTI in his first public comment since his resignation.

"I began considering stepping down as Indian captain towards the end of the ODI series against England," Dravid added.

The thought of stepping down had crossed his mind after India's early exit from the World Cup in the West Indies for which he felt responsible, Dravid said, adding, "but I still felt that I had the strength and energy to do it then" in the hope that things could be turned around.

However, towards the end of the ODI series against England which ended this month, he had begun considering resigning. "I did not want to take any decision there without first speaking to my family and wanted to give it a few days back home to see if I felt differently before taking a final call," he said.

The decision was "personal and based on my observation of whether I would be able to give it my very best like I have always tried to", Dravid said.

Dravid, however, refused to comment on who should succeed him saying that the decision was best left to selectors.
