bhajji did bowl pretty tight, that the batsmen took minimal to no risks while he was bowling, they targetted ojha and also fell to ojha in the process.
meanwhile a captain's job is to motivate his team, instill belief and enthusiasm in his team that bhajji did. you could see he was constantly talking with his bowlers. moreover, he was energetic in the field , that run out of ashwin was because of his energetic fielding/quick throw .
ojha immediately said after the innings that bhajji told him to give his 100% . you may have never played under a captain, I have, i know it's very important to be encouraged by a captain

All my Bengaluru brother always know for out of boxed thinkings. My brother say Bhajji by won an T20 world cups he is big than Dhoni who won World cups, 2 time IPL cups, T20 World cups and etc cups.
If Bhaji or RCB won an single IPL cups mean no need for ISRO to manufactured rockets. We Bengalurus will carried sattellites on hands when jumped into stars.

yesterday I wrote that Harbhajan has a point to prove and sachin will play his best cricket in this IPL V.How correct I was is proved the way MI won over the CSK.The determination to win was written on the face of Bhajji and Sachin from the word go.As the match progressed it was there for everybody to see it. CSK never looked like they want to fight and win. Captain Dhoni looked liked a depressed man in his face.Even at the Post Match interaction with Ravi Shastri Bhajji overshadowed Dhoni in English vocabalary and his selection of comments.Bhajji has again proved that winning CLT20 in 2011 was not a fluke and He is a real Captain material.I am very confident by the end of IPL V whole of India will see a replacement of Dhoni in him.But for the baised BCCI to accept this fact it is very hard and will never do it.Even they may not even call him to join the Indian Team on the statiscal record of his number of wickets taken.It was however in full view that a good Captain can win matches without taking wickets.But this memory is short lived and statics are what selectors compare while keeping him out of the Team.Jassi

by Ramdas Nayak (View MyPage) on Apr 05, 2012 01:36 PM This is the first match only. Do not judge Bhajji's qualities on this result. It was CSK's failure than MI's victory. Imagine the luck of MI when three major run outs in CSK contributed to their victory. It is only amazing that Sachin showing so much enthusiasm and vgour in IPL when he was looking sober when representing India just a month ago. Money makes everyone young. No doubt.

Dhoni became captain before he played for CSK. KOhli is the next captain, he plays for RCB not csk.

Captain material?! He came back from England with a strained stomach! He's not strong enough to even be the strike bowler. The benchmark will always be Kumble playing with a broken jaw. Bhajji pales in comparison. Bhajji may turn out to be a good T20 captain, and that's basing it on only the Champions League and yesterday's match. Dhoni led the TEST team admirably for 2 years until his first failures last year. World Cup 2011. T20 world cup 2007. IPL 2010 and 2011. Test No. 1. Harbhajan's appalling on field behavior will make him a bad apple on par with Ponting when he was captain. If not for Tendulkar's backing, Bhajji's career would have been over with the racism scandal. Harbhajan must be kept far, far away from Indian captaincy. He's a terribly behaved person and will disgrace Indian cricket if he's made captain. The empty, boneheaded posturing that Bhajji keeps repeating is not aggression. Kumble was no less effective and he was never as embarrassing as Bhajji.
ahh... being captain cudn't even judge the situation... they were 75/2 in 9 overs. it was raina's and Bravo's quick wickets by Ojha that turned the momentum of match in favour of mumbai, not when dhoni got out. bajji is trying to give importance to dhoni's wicket by saying this to please dhoni to make a come back to indian team.
Re: he want's to please dhoni
by taklu on Apr 05, 2012 03:32 PM
no, we all know dhoni's batting prowess, how he is effective in turning the tide with scoring runs at a blitz rate esp. towards the end of the innings. you can't feel safe as long as dhoni is at the crease.
