Dhoni the phenomena

I am never going to complain about Dhoni from here after, how can one complain and ask for more when he has done so much though his brilliant captaincy. Sourav Ganguly has said that "Dhoni is a big gambler", many astrologers have predicted that his stars rock and that is why he is able to win effortlessly, many cricketing critics have said that he exactly knows when to take a calculated risk, he is said to be the greatest "monk" in International cricket for maintaining his cool, he has nerves of steel. In one of the match against the Kings XI Punjab which was a must win game for the CSK to qualify for the semi finals of the 2010 IPL his temperament in the last over is testimony for his nerves of steel. When some 17 runs was required to win the match, Dhoni maintained his cool and won the match by smashing a 6 with 2 balls to spare pushing the Kings XI to its worst postion in the tables in the whole of the IPL season

He has brought the T20 World Cup in 2007, that is when he was awarded the captaincy many expected them to come back quickly because India had never played an International T20 match before but surprising every one, he brought the cup home and proved the whole world that he belongs to the elite league of International captains and not just some an other guy to take guard when the captain cant play. Soon he was awarded the ODI captaincy and the media named him as the man with midas touch. I very much remember how India used to enter almost every finals it played but still end up loosing almost all of the game when it comes to the finals, we always feel short of the glory. I remember that we had lost in the finals in 9 continuous ocassions, its was under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly who should India that we are not short of anything that the western world could produce, he gave the team a new lease of life, form and blood. Ganguly mantle has been successfully taken over by Dhoni but with greater power, determination, calculation, strategies and of course luck

I was glued to the TV like Millions of other and like Billions of others all over the world and the moment he hit the 6 I was relaxed and decided myself never to curse the team if they loose a match no matter how bad the loose is

We are quick to dismiss our talent, we as a nation of very skeptical about ourselves, I saw that in of the Youtube comments someone had rated him as one of the best captains and even comparing him to Steve Waugh, at that point of time he was too young as an International player and an new bie as a Captain but people decided that he comes no where near a Steve Waugh, its unfair to compare a new bie to Steve Waugh but there is no reason why we should'nt see him growing like Steve Waugh or even seeing him better than a Steve Waugh. I rate him as the best Indian Captain ever and so does Sachin and many others who have played the game with him, If Sachin can rate him as the best Indian Captain he has played under than it speaks volume of his captaincy. Even when Sachin rated the Indian batting order as the best he has played along, many critics of the game and even former players were quick to dismiss because we are very much stuck in the past and we find it very very difficult to accept the the present is better and can be best than the glorious past. Thank god, Sachin doest belong to that category

What else do you expect from the jarkand man, he has won the FIRST EVER T20, continued the good job by the Indian seniors and took India to the 1st Rank in Test Cricket, Won CSK the IPL in 2010, made India proud by winning the Champions League and proved that its the India club which is the best among the world in 2010, defeated Australia in Australia in the CB series and thus making the Oz's taste defeat for the first time in the CB series 2/0 defeated Sri Lanka in almost white wash in Sri Lanka, defeated New Zealand in New Zeland in ODI and Test which was very convincing. Earlier even if we were playing against New Zealand and Zimbabwe were not so strong we still toiled very hard in defeating them, we dint had the killer instinct like who the Oz's used to trash their opponents in a ruthless way but under the leadership of Dhoni we had many convincing wins and that gave us belief to defeat the big cats in their home ground.

And now after winning the much awaited world cup Dhoni has proved that he is not just a luck factor but who cares even if he is a luck factor, he is winning the game for India and brining glory to the nation. Dhoni is a phenomena, a great find, luck, talent and lot more which is required to be one of the greatest captains of all time
