You really ask why? India has 1.200.000.000 people and war-torn Lanka 20.000.000. It's a lucky fortune that cricket isn't watched by snyone but Indians, it would be a major joke of the world.
About the time that Selector replace Dhoni in T20 as captain and let Virat take over. Start grooming Virat and within few months let him take over Test captaincy as well. Dhoni can captain ODI squad..
Dhoni is average for T20 and below average for Test cricket... just look at his stats... ANd on top of that, he is way above his head... I am still trying to figure out what 'process' is refers to lately in every press conference and the post match interviews...

There are some slaves here who would "defend" every stance of Dhoni. It would be a jolt for them to know that strategy and gambling are different..
rp2155 >Kohli need not watch Yuvi in slow mode. Kohli should have gone while accelerating the score and let Dhoni come next and manage Yuvi, He should not watch and be bystander for india going for low score.

Exacrlt. Kohli should have just shut his eye and stand at the non-strker end. Kohli need not watch Yuvi in slow mode.
It was Yuvraj memorial match and Yuvi can do whatever he wants...
MSD captainship has not been great in this series as well. Thanks to Virat Kohli and spinners that India went to the final. Not bowling full overs of jadeja in last two matches and giving Raina full 4 overs is the stupidest thing a captain has done in Cricket till now. Also today even after having 8 wickets in hand India can score 6 runs per over in the last 5 overs then what tactics is the team having??
Re: MSD is responsible for this loss
by Bhasmasur on Apr 07, 2014 05:13 AM
right on... Just look at the results over the last yrs in all formats, MSD is below average as a player and captain..
No commentator dares to criticize Indian captain...and they keep praising Dhoni as its the best thing that ever touched the planet earth..
but ms d is only responsible for this difeet. what happent to him? trusting yuvraj against super spin bowling of srilanka is a foolish thing. yuvi is not confortable against spin. he may hit johnsen of australia for 6 sixesbut he will never hit hog for6 sixs.
what happent to ms d.knows the strength and weakness of yuvi. in 2011 ms d promoted himself and won the match for india. why ms d aloved yuvi to bat at 04? if msd or raina batted at 04 we could have eacily won the match. so sad....
