Is dhoni in too much hurry to oust tendulkar & dravid?

Well, I dont have any sort of grudge or suspicion against Dhoni’s captaincy skills, in fact, I am a fan of his captaincy and his batting. But after winning the first test match against New Zealand, he said he dedicates it to Tendulkar and Dravid. In the second innings, too, he sent Dravid to open. Ok, I know that Sehwag was injured. But Dravid is not an opener, he is a no.3 or no.4 specialist batsmen. In the recently concluded Srilankan series also, Dhoni was reluctant to send Dravid down the order, because Dravid was not in best of his form. But at that time, Gavaskar, Jadeja, everybody were opining that it may be best for the team if Dravid plays down the order for a couple of matches, till he gains back his rythm. But Dhoni did send him at no.3 spot  only. We won the fisrt test match against Newzealand, just because Tendulkar and Dravid performed well, along with Harbhajan. The availability of seniors in the team is mandatory for Indian team to excel in test matches and I hope Dhoni wakes up to that.
