Both Dhoni and Ashwin gave a good demonstration of how to play safely on one of the bounciest wickets in the world. Being a former opener, Ashwin looked much better than Jadeja in avoiding the bouncer, swaying out of the way. Dhoni's six to 3rd man was an absolute beauty. The top order can learn something from their partnership.
When you are in the team, you must have to perform, if not in every match, at least in a regular manner. Why showering so much praise for this man, when you didn't do that for virat or Shikhar or Shami? Are you surprised to see that Dhoni can also score runs? He comes at an easy number of six, when the match has taken a definite shape. He has been seeing the bowlers , the ball movements and behaviour of pitch quite long. So you can plan out your batting. Where did you find greatness in it? Are not the no.6 batsmen supposed to score runs? did Dhoni play against a fresh Jerome Taylor ? Was the winning score too distance that he managed with swashbuckling manner? It is pure and simple lobbying article in favor of Dhoni. If he cannot score, he should be shown the door. What is last time he contributed to an Indian victory except in drab sub-continental conditions? A mere 45 brings so much of praises for a wicket-keeper. Have you seen what Brad Haddin or Brendon Macculum or Kumar Sangakkara is doing? It is only in India that such an average performance is glorified to such an extent. It is the fast bowling trio of Umesh, Shami and Mohit that brought victory for India. The likes of Samuel and Gayle and DR Smith were dismismisswed by the bowling magic of the Indian trio, who made the work of Indian batsmen so easy. Still they sort of messed up from beginning to the middle of the innings. Dhoni played well. That's all.
