I cant understand why so much hype is given to dhoni?
by Vipul on May 28, 2009 04:35 PM  | Hide replies

I think the only reason why dhoni is in num 1 spot is because he remains not out in maximum matches. I also often see that whenever the target is less he comes 1 down and leads India to win but whenever the target is challenging he sends other players to go and score. Also as far as the T20 world cup is concerned i think India won because of excellent batting of Sehwag and Gambhir followed by brilliant bowling of RP Singh. Dhoni has hardly contributed in any match in world cup. And as far as IPL is concerned I think CSK lost in semi's because of Dhoni only. After going at 10 rpo it was dhoni who lowered down the run rate and went for just 38 of 40. And please stop comparing him with some1 like sachin. Sachin is a legend and only because India didn't win any World Cup with him doesn't mean that india lost all the world cup's because of him

Dhoni is 2nd highest scorer in last 1 year with more than 1200 runs. It is more appreciable if he made it by remaining not out so many times.

Because he is the Only Players from indian side to bring home a World cup after the legendary Kapil... and that too without our big guns ( all flops when it is a World cup ) trimurthi ( Sachin, Dravid and Gangully) .... I am sure..u would be more then happy when india won the T20 worldcup against pak in 2007...and now u are not able to understand that why ICC ODI's No1 batsman and one of the gr8 indian wiket keeper batsman and probably one of the best Indian captain ..is so much talk about...
You need a brk..?

No doubt he was the second highest scorer of year 2008 but just look at his strike rate its just 80 which i think is very low for some1 batting down the order. And as far as winning the world cup is concerned it was not Dhoni who won the world cup it was team who had won it. You should give more credit to players who won the world cup for india then to player who had hardly given his contribution in any match. No doubt he is a good Captain but i dont think he is that gr8 player.

Guys its don't matter whether you like him or not...but if the Statistics are supposed to be performance measure ..then at this stand U can say Sachin is great, Made 43 hundreds, more then 15000 runs and so on...and so on.and so on..but when it comes to the international arena then Kapil dev is supposed to be greatest Indian player because he won the World cup...and Somehow dhoni did it again so what if in t20...After all a world cup is world cup....As a Dhoni supporters all i can say that he had won atleast a world cup fo us..for India....Go dhoni go...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is latest India’s captain and now a day in T20 matches are wins in IPL match.
I think he has allrounder player of India. and the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship table, England's 2-0 victory earned it one rating point and it is now on 109 rating points, just two behind fifth-placed Pakistan.

Dhoni is the greatest Indian cricketer and captain. Others should learn from him even if retired like ganguly. sachin is still a child in front of Dhoni.
Congratulation for the great captain Dhoni for showing the way for the Indian team.

Dhobi has no role in indian win.
He is as great politician as dada.
Best batsman for India-SRT. best bowler & captan of india- kumble who is based on performance.
Dhobi by keeping few media friends/bollwwood stars & biased fans will not last long in sports.
Thats why he is encasing all the adds these days.
Comparing dhobi with great sachin is insult of cricket.
Dhobi can't bat on overseas wickets against quality bowler same as dada.
All win due to great sachin/dravid/laxman/kumble/sehwag/zaheer in test & gambhir/sachin/yuvi/bhajji in one day. Do not overhype him for nothing

Its indian team who won the world cup & not the dhobi.
captaincy doesn't play more than 1% rile in cricket.
Same australian cricket team who won record no of matches under ponting captancy started loosing frequently these days under same captan. Reason all great oldis -gilly,hyden,warne,mcgrath retired at same time. That proves very clearly that any captan is as good as his team.
People remember u only by ur performance. Dhobi has not won more than 1 or 2 match due to his performance while sachin has won atleast 50 matches on his own in all forms of cricket.
So keep ur mouth shut u dhobi supporters & enjoy Indian team success & donot attribute it to dhobi.

Boss,Yes I agree that Dhoni not alone won the t20 worldcup, but he has contributed as a player and mostly did everything right almost upto 99% since he had start playing for the india..

He is the Current ODI no 1 batsman for quiet a long time...

I appreciate Sachin what he did for Cricket in India...but the people should respect the later gave him his due respect or credit.....not Like mr Samir talkar calling Dhoni as a shame...You should be think of urself....if you think so..then any one who knows cricket will call you a F_O_O_L...

bt again y to compair him wid sachin? if u talk abt batting sachin is mastern i believe thre is no replacement of sachin. b4 compairing jst grow up kid

m nt playing wid words. ys dhoni may b gud captain in comparision to sachin. no doubt. bt if u compair dhoni wid sachin as a batsman then i will hv 22 say its foolish. there is no comparision of sachin. let dhone play for atleast 15 yrs then compair him wid sachin. i doubt after 15 yr any1 will remember dhoni as a batsman.no doubt dhoni did very well in ODI bt it does not mean that u wll start compairing him wid sachin. no way.
u pls chck the records. c all those matches in which sachin made centuries n c percentage of matches in those in which india won. He made 43 century in oneday matches n i think 31 of them have been won by india. also he has 57 man of the match award. do u think tht ppl who gv him the award r fool? c the contribution of sachin in testmatches india played in last 20 yrs n see his average in those matches. it will make everything clear.

Techniue play role in test & dhobi average is only 34 there.
his overseas average is less than 25 in test with only one fifty till now.
Even in oneday his average is inflated as he comes most of time & score 15-20 not out.
Maintaining an average of 44 after more than 300 ODI & average of 55 after more than 100 test is achievement what sachin has achieved. Also sachin has won much more matches than dhobi. So do not compare for god sake-

On that logic why you are throwing your baap dhobi from CSK in IPL.
He couldn't win any IPL even after paid 6 crore by owner.
Anyway he was paid only for his captaincy as everyone know he can't be in team as a player. Throw him out first.

Look at Raina alone his teammate for Comparison. Notwithstanding. Raina also done well in Both the conditions but his SR is not dropped like Dhoni. But his 30 ball 28 in Semi is a Joke. Do you think it's the way to bat in the death Overs?

Why are you comparing him with Raina? Just compare him with Y.Pathan, Gambhir, Sehwag, G.Smith etc.

For Y.Pathan & Sehwag there is no difference in SR but they gone through a bad form. G.Smith & Gambhir reasons unknown. B.Mccullam is aftected by his Captaincy since he is not Captained so many Teams at this level. For Jayasurya his age makes him like this. You can watch how he is going to Bat in World T20. More or less his chapter is finished. Gammbhir should come good in world T20, otherwise it's a Big headache for Dhoni in the Top of the order.

I think 146 was defendable total like DC defended in final on same pitch.
But CSK bowling was so weak. Specially Gony in place of S.Tyagi was wrong decision.

It's again Dhoni's decision. He did a lot of Mistakes in the Semi starting from Selecting the Team to Selection of Batting order and Bowlers. he can't do those things in World T20.
1. Hussey/Ntini on the bench while J.Oram in the XI.
2. Tyagi & Aswin on the bench while Gony & Balaji in the XI.
3. He came up the order. Didn't scored fast. Breaked the mommentum abd blaming Hydos got out at the wrong time
4. Delyaed Murali when Pandey and Dravid playing Well.

His tactics going bad. He should correct in World T20. I don't mind he is loosing in IPL but country wise it's so important to defend World T20. Hope he can. I can't accept tht CSK bowling is so weak when they can Defend 116(Lowest total to Defend) without much Buzz.

It's also appreciable while we know he is suffering with back pain.

He should take a Break like he did SL test series. It's a silly reason. If you are not fully fit don't play.

Dhobi strikerate is also in similar range though refred as T20 specialist by his baised fans.
Couldn't win a single IPL even after paid the maximum money- what a shame as captan.
I know captan doesn't have much role- but just to correct those biased fans who overhype dhobi/dada in name of captaincy.

MS Dhoni is very good player of the cricket. He is a very good decision of the game. He is cooled mined player. He shot very powerful. He is a very good wicket keeper. Dhoni is successful captain for India. I am proud of you Dhoni.
