ODI teams of the past with captains like Kapil, Azhar, Ganguly and Dravid has 48-52% winning percentages, but now with Dhoni the percentage is about 57-60%.
With Kohli, Jadeja and Sudeep, the Indian fielding quartet is improved with Yuvraj and Raina. Jadeja bowls 7.3 overs per match and Sudeep may show some improvement in the seam attack to support Nehra and Zaheer.
Even though Sachin will be back, the one day team is stronger than ever before. Yuvraj is bowling better and the new ball bowlers have less overs to complete if the part-timers with Jadeja and Yuvraj bowl 20 overs per match.
THe strong Indian batting can overcome the weak links in the team 66% of the time and this is the highest it can achieve.
Dhoni as captain..... by Anurag Rathore on Jan 12, 2010 10:44 AM | Hide replies
Without Sehwag: 19 wins-10 Loss Without Sachin: 19-9 Without Yuvraj: 3-3 Without Zaheer: 19-15 Without Bhajji: 11-6 Without Gambhir: 6-4
The above stats shows Dhoni got full strength side rarely. India performed as a team unit and never depended on an individual.

If you have used your brain properly, you could have reached the correct conclusion.
But then, not everyone can be good analyzer. One must be not only intelligent but also unbiased so as to draw right conclusion.
These data only confirm what is know,"that A team needs a good bowler/bolwers to win matches". It is no suprise that Dhoobi lost more matches without Zaheer.
