In India you are great if you do one thing good. means batting, bowling, captaining
But dhoni does three things very good captaining- very good keeping- excellant batting- ok running between the wickets-by far the quickest in Indian team
India should be thankful to have a captain like him

If he was not a captain then perhaps he might have less pressure and could have played in his natural style which was to attack.
Sometimes he becomes very defensive specially in tests.
But overall he is a good captain and I am happy with his performance so far.
Don't forget even under Gambhir second string Indian team beat New Zealand 5-0

If we see the proceedings after the match ,its obvious that he has never said that because of him he has won, but he has always been saying its a team work which has won and sometimes praise for some individual performance ,WAT HE HAS DONE , IS PERFORM AND PLAY IN THE TEAM.. HE HAS NEVER DONE ANY SORT OF POLITICS, 3 YEARS BEFORE HE HAS SAID THAT HE WANT PLAYERS WHO HAS PLAYED ATLEAST 100 ODIs should be in the final 11 , it means he wanted to have such players who can sustain the pressure situation. IN MY OPINION HE IS THE BEST ONE SO FAR AS A CAPTAIN.

See how Mr Prior (wicketkeeper batsman of England) batting at no.7 scored a century(not out) against quality bowling attack of Pakistan on seaming pitch & in critical pressure situation. This resulted in England win over Pakistan in last test series in 2010. Offcourse well supported by Eng bowlers. Same is done by wicketkeeper batsman like Gilcrist, Mclumn, Sangarkara, Boucher etc in past on many occasions. They helped their team many times in test/T-20 as a batsman for winning or saving. See our useless mediocre politician dhoni who has never scored a century against quality attack. He has never score even a fifty against quality bolwing attack on overseas pitch in his entire test career. Same is true in t-20 where he has never scored a fifty or any match winning inning even after playing 30 T-20 intls including 3 wcup. None of his test inning helped India to win match or save match. All his test runs scored against waek bowling attack, on flat track & in non pressure situation like how he scored 78 in 2nd dead test match against SLK(this is two of fitys he scored in test in last 20 innings. Even on dead pitch he scored hundred only when 2-3 other batsman like sachin/dravid/laxman/sehhwag has hit centuries & he has no pressure. When ever pressure situation , team needs it & good bowling attack, he is not capable of even making 30 runs. All mentioned wicketkeeper batsman are million time better batsman, wicketkeeper &
