What Virat showed in the first test as the captain that remain a great example on the part of a captain who can lead his team from the front. It was good when Koholi said after narrow defeat in the first test that he finds nothing wrong with the young stars and all his team mates tried as he wanted. He said I am happy that boys fought. But here Dhoni has been copying the said statement of Koholi but he forgets that he is not a leader from the front and make himself lbw out in the second innings, as if somebody had been calling from the country and shuffled across the stumps and make himself a laughable dismissal. Dhoni's captaincy, wicket keeping and batting is not more than a club level cricket.
lose this series, perhaps by the familiar 4 - 0 margin, then will surely lose the tri series, then fail to even reach the semi finals of the world cup..........and then come back and be swamped yet again with overwhelming crowds for the lucrative IPL !

You are perhaps right in saying Dhoni is destroyer. But what all other batsmen were doing? Where is Rohit's So called TALENT??? If only all the batsmen could have contributed around 70-80 more runs the result would have changed....So, why blame dhoni alone???

Dhoni the destroyer-absolutely correct,but kohli also no less than Mahi.In1st test day-5,30 odd overs left,kohli-Vijay at crease,asking rate was about4.2,all these batsmen needed to stick on till end,it is here that the captain's advice & intelligence gets tested.We could have won the match without doubt....In 2nd test Kohli got out cheaply both times,may be due to vengeance against Dhoni...God save Indian cricket from such selfish ones.
The message from the Indian Captain raises a doubt if everything is right with the team. It appears players are more willing to play under the captaincy of Virat than Dhoni. Too much of kitchen politics is also sometimes bad and Dhoni would realize that soon.

Gambhir and Bhajji to replace Rohit and ashwin else we will keep losing with these overhype players
IN LAST 60 YEARS. HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CAPTAIN A TEST TEAM. HE IS OBVIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL ONE DAY CAPTAIN, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING THAT HE IS NEITHER A GOOD TEST BATSMEN (ESPICALLY ABROAD) AND NEITHER A AVERAGE TEST CAPTAIN. I DON'T SEE INDIA EVEN DRAWING REMAINING TEST, THEY WILL LOSE BOTH TEST INSIDE 3 DAYS. 4-0 DRUBBING IS ON THE CARDS
