Dinush,Jay, PKB why going after Rohit , he is just another proxy who is planted by the Khanna's
So when you get the urge to go after Rohit Go after the Khanna's who are real evil masterminds behind this charade, one's who are responsible for this happening in the first place.
Rohit is just a insignificant pawn in their game, if they want they can just replace him with a blink of an eyelid just in one second he can be out if they wish,

^^^ Of course AITA and the Khannas are to be blamed. And we were only blaming them at first. In fact, if you notice, we were not going after Rohit initially, as we knew that he was just a pawn and that he was not the one who selected himself as the DC captain. Even the criticism against AITA was in murmurs, because it was DC after all, and we needed to support the Indian team.

I, for one, was fully willing to give Rohit Rajpal a chance to show us that he was a good student of the game and knew what it took to be a good captain, even if he was no great shakes as a player. That was okay, if the results later proved it. The sports world has many examples of less-than-ordinary players becoming great coaches, after all...

But that all changed for me, after Sweden, when this lowlife came after us fans. Like we were the problem! Yeah, sure, the "Indian tennis' daily fans" deliberately placed somebody in the press to ask a question and embarrass him, but he showed why he is a loser with his response. If he was not a loser, knew that he was not a loser, and had the confidence that he was a good captain, he could have easily laughed and asked back, "You really expect me to answer the question? If you are referring to Mukund and Sumit, they know what I am, as a captain to them. Next question". But it was so easy to prove that he was a loser by getting under his skin. And the loser had the gall to blame the fans and the news site instead. He went on and on about fans sitting in AC rooms and all that drivel. When somebody is classless, the lack of class will show pretty easily. It did, in his case. He knew all along, and still knows that he is an undeserving captain. He knows that he brings nothing to the table for the Indian Davis Cup team. That is why it was easy to get under his skin, and make him blurt out nonsense about the fans being the issue.

Once he came after us Indian tennis fans, it was "all gloves off". He gets no sympathy from us anymore for just being a pawn of the reponsible party, AITA. The loser made himself the responsible party!

The loser ought to go. Get the hell out of the position you occupy, you loser!

'^^^You are 100% correct, but need a slight correction..
Just replace the word Rohit and the word "Loser" with the word Khanna :D

I am interested in quantifying and checking these types of thinking/claims. In essence, "serial nitpicking". :-) So, in that vein, what does it mean for a country to be merit-based? Here is a study that tried to define and quantify things. Study Seems like Norway is the most merit-based (meritocratic) country and Ecuador is pretty bad ... Read if you are interested.

From the bridge.in article that Eric quoted above with captain sideburns' picture,
"Sasi is looking in good nick, he's our no.1 ranked player," said Rajpal.
Uh oh...

Guys, we are in trouble. It is Sasi there. If Sasi is in "good nick" that means we are in even big trouble, no?
