Do you find any good captaincy material in the team for the future? If yes, who?

Hmm....Truly speaking,no captaincy is required for our team since all the team members show 100% commitment and extreme thirst for victory...But a captain has to be there to organize the team...and my opinion is that bala and ajay(immediate seniors) are versatile players who are capable to lead the team effeciently...I hope both of them would set an example for Captaincy and in fact they are the 2 pillars of our team..
