The real reason for failure is IPL but Dhoni don't want to admit it because he don't want to miss the fat salary he get's from IPL. Dhoni gave fitness as the main cause of failure. Now those fitness problem was also created by playing in IPL.

India certainly missed Sachin....Sachin can win the match with his superb batting,bowling & he can also contbute his brilliant ideas & innovations to the game.

you are right, he has brilliant ideas and innovations, that's why he has failed as a captain, what a crap? If somebody else is captain then it's very easy to gyan bantna, when he was captain, he was a super flop. so stop your crap.
This is pretty hard to believe, guys: three T20 defeats in a row. If the West Indies fast bowlers proved we cannot play pace, the South Africans showed we cannot handle the turning ball either. So what are we? Just flat pitch bullies?
Though our spinners bowled well in restricting South Africa to 130, I still can’t fathom why we kept Pragyan Ojha out on a spinner-friendly track.
By and large, our batting followed the same disappointing pattern as in previous games. The top order failed in varying degrees. Not one player crossed 30 runs. With five runs off 12 balls, Dhoni’s horror story reached its climax. In the end, we weren’t even close, losing by a comfortable 12 runs.
With India having played its last game, I am skipping the player by player analysis today. Let me try to put our defeats in perspective.
Seven of the 11 cricketers who played and lost against England on Sunday were the ones who had vanquished Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World Cup final: Dhoni, Yuvraj, Rohit Sharma, Gambhir, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan and RP Singh. So why did the team capitulate so dramatically in the crunch games this time?
Here are seven reasons why we triumphed in 2007 and were humiliated in 2009:
1. Couldn't handle the pressure of expectations: Before the 2007 World Cup, T20 was just a sideshow in the eyes of the cricket world, especially India. Going to South Africa, M S Dhoni and company were one of the least experienced sides in the

Is fatigue not applicable to players of South Africe, West Indies, Sri Lanka etc who all played in IPL and home serries before that,or it is only 4 Indian players...this fatigue has become a very good excuse after every loss............
why r u guys giving false information?? just because 2 people have different points of view it doesnt mean there is discord you jackasses. dont manufacture news.
So if Dhoni says, "We never performed as a team. We are used to team performing collectively to 80 per cent level. Here it wasn't even up to 60 per cent"
he actually means that last year in the IPL they get 80% before the IPL and 20% afterwards, this year they got just 60% before the IPL and have not received the remaining 40%... hence the distress call (ugly performance) to the BCCI.
