THE END OF A HYPE CALLED 'DHONI'
by abin chatterjee on Jun 15, 2009 10:28 AM

MS Dhoni has finally run out of luck it seems.People often forget that in most of the great victories abroad under Dhoni's captaincy,there has always been major contribution of some key players at crucial times, starting from Sachin's 100 & a 90 in the finals of the VB Serise in Australia to the last 20:20 world cup where Gambhir and Yuvraj were in the best form of their lives. waht has been Dhoni's contribution? In the last 3-4 yrs that he has played rarely has he won a match on his own for India. He has been damn lucky to get a few good youngsters who delivered when mattered.But he should have realized that in the current team other than himself, Gambhir & Yuvraj no other batsman had the experience of playing in English conditions. Its not like the dead pitches in India where mediocre players like Rohit Sharma & Raina can flourish. We needed the solidity of players like Sachin & Rahul & the experience of Sehwag.
