Sourav Ganguly said on Thursday that a captain has to keep performing to hold his place in the team but his lack of form alone should not be held responsible for the team's debacle. "There is no doubt that the captain has to lead from the front, but it (cricket) is a team sport. Just like any other player, a captain has to perform but he is also a human being and is likely to fail... Sometimes the team could be winning when the captain is not in form. When India won the World Cup, Dhoni was not in form until the final," he said.

 

So, there is no truth in reports that he will opt out of the remaining three games? "Absolutely. I am the captain for the full season and will continue to be the captain."
