Azhar still holds the fastest century by an Indian in both tests(74b) and ODIs(61b)involved in some big partnerships in ODIs good fielder and runner between wickets.Shastri once described as champion of champions can bat at any position can be flamboyant and blocker same time and was a partnership breaker with his left arm spin.
Dhoni is Indian crickets biggest gift. India was without a wicket keeper chronically, India was also without a wise captain chronically with makeshift changes prior to his arrival.

whatever said by whoever the fact remains WORLD CUP is the pinnacle of all and no comparision with Triseries Champions trophy etc... So our team which won the world cup 2011 with so much of Home pressure is all time greatest team.For all who dont know team members.. Gambhir Sehwag, sachin, Kohli,yuvraj, raina, Dhoni, pathan,HARBHAJAN, ZAHEER, NEHRA, MUNAF, SREESANTH, ASHWIN, CHAWLA.. Facts and truth never change...
Excellent statement from Dhoni, he is a true leader. He has natural instincts of leadership. Management guru's need to learn from him. The calm and composure he shows on field is excellent. He will never let any emotions take control over him.
If he selects a team, he has to add Sachin so as to please the pleasers! But if he has to listen to his conscience, Sachin, whose presence was helpful only to build unnecessary pressure in the team and his only interest was always personal records, will never be in the team. If he does, his survival is at risk.
In order to add Sachin, a wrong choice, he has to ignore a better player and that will be a kind of insult to that player.
Therefore, he decides not to select a team and that way respecting every individual who has played for the country.

What he means you followed little more than Dhoni I suppose. Hope don't give to much pressure to your brain or it will burst.
Do Current Player make Dream Team? Normally it is job of Retired and Seniors. Dhoni is smart and got the hidden problems. If Dhoni create a team...it would open a can of worms as he already had selected Chennai players and we know the selectors, CSK , Sreenivasan etc.

what's your problem.. if CSK got some of the finest players by paying highest price what can anyone do about it.. just appreciate the good judgement..
This man knows how to talk...and selecting a dream team is not going to be worth a penny, and former cricketers just to be in limelight select their teams which anyways is fictitious. And by declining to do this would attract more attention during a time when all the formers queue up to pick their dream team...Dhoni is smart, he knows what to speak and when, he could be of good use to the country if he wishes to enter politics.
I agree with you. Dhoni is wiser and much more matured compared to many of his seniors.
Dhoni has made a very very important comment "we should respect every person who plays for the country." This just shows his love for our country, thats all that matters at the end of the day.
Its not a joke to captain team India and that too win world cups in all formats. We need a captain with a personality to achieve this.
Dhoni is the man who has produced results. He is not an exceptional cricketer but certainly a commendable leader.

Correct He is smart and know what to talk. But Buddy..Just wait an let him retire an then you will different picture. If he select a team, he will not be abe to justify his selection of CSK players. So he tactfully avoided the question...
