Dhoni is an average batsman, good at times; an average wicket keeper and a LUCKY CAPTAIN, though not a good Leader. He came at a time, when the team was strong and mature. May be, some of his hunches got success. He is an overrated Captain, hyped by Media and his sponsors. The charge sheet is as follows
1. He is not an educated person. The success and Media hype made him bold enough to crticise his seniors (Ganguly and Dravid) as not having power below their waists. However he was clever enough not to antagonize Sachin Tendulkar who had hype from all above quarters including BCCI. 2. In T20 World cup final of 2007, Dhoni rested match winner Sehwag without any reason and played Yousuff Pathan in his place. 3. In 2008 CB Series, Dhoni rested Sehwag citing fitness reasons, though Sehwag openly claimed his fitness. 4. In 2009 T20 World cup in England, Dhoni projected Sehwag’s hidden shoulder injury out of proportion and when the same rose as a controversy, Dhoni paraded his team as a show of strength in the Press conference LIKE AN INDIAN POLITICIAN. 5. In 2012 Australian tour, Dhoni blamed slow response fielding of seniour players for the worst debacle, when neither the batsmen nor the bowlers could fair well on the soil abroad and introduced rotation system for seniour players. 6. When this rotation system was criticized by Sehwag, Dhoni saw to it that Sehwag was kept out of Asia cup in Bangladesh. When Gambhir supported Sehwag, he was s

6. When this rotation system was criticized by Sehwag, Dhoni saw to it that Sehwag was kept out of Asia cup in Bangladesh. When Gambhir supported Sehwag, he was sidelined from Vice Captaincy making way for Virat Kohli.
It is to be noted that the fluke luck of Dhoni as a Captain is fading fast and he should see that he abandons politics and follows meritrocacy. No individual can be bigger than the game and the country.

MY DEAR U LUK LIKE A GREAT FAN OF SEHWAG,EVEN I AM...... BUT IN MY VIEW HE TAKE RIGHT DECISIONS AT RIGHT TIME, BECAUZ AT THE END OF THE HE IS ANSWERABLE
Very clearly sewag times are bad... he does not perform as we have seen in WC.... he talks loosely childishly without substance...it is high time he is dropped for non-coperation like Gavaskar
Well there is no doubt that the World Cup was won because of a strong team but then give the man (Dhoni) his dues. His calculative decisions too also helped. His timingness of changing the bolwers of field placements were accurate. Even in the finals he changed his down and came in straight away when Sachin and Viru were out. He had the guts to take such a major decision although Yuvraj was in fine form throughout the tournament. Well it can be assumed that Dhoni had the guts to take decisions. We even had far better team during the reign of Sourav but lost in the finals to Australia. Hence Dhoni should be given his dues and we should accept it.
what he said is sme what true but veeru not the part of strong performers during world cup.he become a part of winning team without any significant contribution
