I have been closely monitoring Dhonis attitude in the recent past and it is true that he has indeed brought success upon his head...His attitude suggests that he should be considered the "Ultimate Boss" and it is quite natural that the senior pro would dislike that...He is no longer the earlier Dhoni that I used to admire long time ago !!

I feel he is a no-nonsense guy and nothing wrong if he makes it clear who is the boss. Look what happened with Kolkatta Knight Riders when captaincy became a merry go round. A team needs a strong leader and Dhoni is one. The media wants sound-bytes and tend to misquote or exaggerate issues. They create controversies where none exist. They may think thats their job, but then don't expect the team to feed the grist for their rumour mills - especially just at the start of the world cup. It was obvious when Sehwag did not play the first two warm ups that he was not fit. May be the team management was waiting official confirmation to release the info to media. Instead of backing the team during the world cup this stupid media tries to create issues and disharmony, just to sell their piddly news. I am ashamed of the attitude of the media and feel Dhoni is justified in putting them in their place. Some media guys think they can cross any line with impunity.. they desrve what they got from Dhoni..

Cricket - captain is not all that important, If all individual players perform to their potential,that team will win , captain is there only to maintain the serial order ie 1,2,3...,damn silly job,silly game.silly people, all sillys put together

You cannot compare him to the earlier Dhoni bcos he was just a player then. He is the captain now and has to show leadership qualities. It is obvious that he has a huge task with a lot of pressure and he has more important things to do than handle media pressure over trivial issues.
trust the media to make mountains out of molehills,they are so news hungry that they will stoop to any level to sensationalise any small issue,tommorow they will also create such a hype about any body peeing against a tree or wall. The modern media is only about cheap publicity without any ethics and 99% of the reporters are are only rumour-mongers.Till date the media has not helped solve any public issues they have only sensationalised,the plight of somebody trying to commit murder/suicide/drowning/setting ablaze etc .the dirty media men have only stood aside and tried to get the best shot of the incident and gloat about the scoop /scam. SHAME ON THE MEDIA

Whether BCCI team win or not does not matter, this argumentative Indians,is what matters...
MSD has followed protocal. Any injury to any player disabling him from participating at the international level is to be exposed to the media through the BCCI only. MSD has no right to disclose the internal sitiation of a player to the media in accordance with the BCCI norms. He has followed this in the case of Sehwag. The media on the other hand has been far to probing into this issue and has to be blamed for MSD's reaction. In fact, the media has certainly disturbed him mentally by constant probing. I blame them only. Wherever there is media, there are problems. This is a fact that nobody can deny. If India looses, I will blame the media for having disturbed the captain mentally. The entire team will get effected as a result. After all, MSD is only human and has his limitations. He has gone to bring the cup back to India....is this not enough pressure? Why get after his life? He has only followed the rule book. Shame on the media.

See, as per yr news, MSD is mentally upset, he cannot function sat his best therefore as a good cricketer, he must step down due mental health problem.Satisfyed ... happy
Conspiracy of Seniors of the Indian Team 's . They bribed the Indian Media . They are jealous at success of Dhoni especially (S Ganguly)becoz Sehwag is his man

Ha..ha...ha, boy you are too much, you mean to say, ganguly is greater than Kapil Dev, Gavaskar. In camparision ganguly is a very small boy with gloated head, when all teams members performed he was a failure for a long time.
The Media in general, the Indian Media in particular thrives on sensationalism... I dont know why is Dhoni being hounded if Sehwag is injured. Fine, they could hae been more transparent, but why should they? These are tactical issues, the Media need not know everything & anything. Sehwag has a fear in the mind of the opponents. It suits India that opponents plan for him & sweat it out.
Why is the Media getting touchy & publishign all rubbish about a rift etc. Dhoni was right in showing Media their place. The Media cant think itself as God.
They should be not be overly concerned & unnecessarily read more than what is requred. There is a thin line between Pro-active Journalism & Sensational JOurnalism. The Indian Media may never learn that difference, though....

We all know they can't survive without promoting nudity, they can't survive without creating some 'gossipy' story, and to put the cherry on the plum, once you get paid you are forced to meet your commitments, but then for heaven's sake national cricket team is the nation's pride not the politicians' and you do have to take up your own responsibilities before pointing your finger to someone else, don't you?
This is Sehwag's inhjury. This ids the problem and he is going back. Why we need BCCI Bull shit in this? This is a new precedent. Don't blame media for this. Media is only asking directquestions that you and me can not ask. We need direct answers.
Real Reason of Media's spat with MS Dhoni is that MSD brother has joined the BJP . All the media as we know in the general election were vicious supporting the Kangress and vicious demonizing the BJP All the media is Anti-BJP. Media is hurt on MSD brother joining the BJP .

ohhh so u may also think that Congress is in power and they stop him from playing cricket?? I dont know why u ppls attached these things to politics... If indian beat Pakis in their home series means Mushraff hang all paki team cause he is dictator in his time...
Dhoni should have handled entire episode more tactfully, after all he is Captain and media will always chase him for news and there is nothing wrong in that, he is becoming arrogant and having no respect for seniors, sucess has gone to his head. Mahesh

In his position I would act more responsibly, media is always in hunt for rabble-rousing becos it is their survival,More-over Dhoni is after-all a captain of a cricket team not PM of India, too much easy-money has gone to his head.

1 for Mahesh comment.
There are better ways that this kind of situation can be handled. One should always look for win-win situation and not loss-loss(which I feel is the case of this situation)
Just imagine the king of pressure INDIAN CAPTAIN r under always they r also humans sachin,ganguly,dravid,Azhar all suffrered with their bad form with the bat during their captaincy period its all bcoz of the expectations and pressure from 1 bllion people watching ur every movement thats why INDIAN CPTAINS always fail to perform themselves
Media targeting Dhoni - Because his brother joined BJP in Jharkhand ... simple!!! Had his brother joined Congress, Media would have converted this news making Demi God by saying Dhoni's zero tolerance on Indicipline saying Sehwag was actually behaving irresponsible & was indiciplined
