I am terribly angry with what people are doing to one of the best captains that Indian Cricket Team has ever seen, Mahendra Singh Dhoni from Jharkhand!
Alright I understand that it is THE T20 WORLD CUP and that we are the DEFENDING CHAMPIONS and all that! But, don't get mental about an exit out of it! I was talking about why people are being cheap, yes cheap, about the loss and most of them said it is valid. What Nonsense! This just goes to prove that Indians are not just emotional but also stupid at times! I am a hard core Indian too and a bigger Cricket fan at that! This hype about removing Dhoni is totally idiotic!
Let us look at some of the recent captains and their Wins ( W) and Losses (L) and see where our man MSD stands.. <>
*Sachin Tendulkar has captained 73 matches of which we won 23 and lost 43 with one tied match and 6 with no results
*Sourav Ganguly, was one of the best captains who captained 146 matches and won 76 and lost 65 , with 9 ties and 5 NR matches.
*Rahul Dravid captained 79 matches, winning 42 and losing 33 with 4 NR matches.
Then comes MS Dhoni who has so far captained almost 51 matches out of which we have won 31 and lost 16 with NR for 4 matches.
So are you saying that the best captains are just people more than 60% success rate? Then get dravid back as captain no. The point is it is not about being a good batsmen or wicketkeeper alone but also being able to skillfully make every match and every run and every ball work for India. Dhoni sure has done that!
Dhoni is one of the most complicated captains we have seen. He is a mastermind and he is as good as any of the best captains you and I have ever seen! Losing 2 matches isn't a big thing, when you look at the way he has worked with the entire team otherwise. This is more like a bad timing for our team cos like Gary Kirsten ( our teams coach ) said we probably are tired with back to back games of different countries and formats of cricket!
Yes I agree that we did not work on the short ball deliveries which were the sole problem against WI and England, but hello RELAX!!!
Hmmm... Give Dhoni time and chance cos he has never let us down as badly as now!! Get angry no issues! But don't ask him to step down as the captain or make him apologize again. Makes my heart bleed!

Inda media aalungalukku vera velai illai, AJ!
ReplyDeleteCant agree more :)
ReplyDeleteOur media is also quick in praising him and equally quick in putting him down when he fails..they need to relax too!
Moral - Not many Indian players know to play the short ball. All the opponent teams made use of this weakness. Maybe Rahul Dravid or Sachin needs to coach them on this aspect ;)
Kool Kool!!
ReplyDeleteI dont agree people calling for Dhoni's head but wat i see is a definite slow down in Dhoni's batting & decisions like sendin Jadeja ahead of Yuvi is pathetic. He's trying to be too clever at times.
Raina, Zaheer, Sachin,.. all are rested but the person who shud be rested is MSD himself! Thats all i hav to say!
