We love cricket so much in India that we wish Indian team wins every match. We start blaming everyone when we start loosing. We do not understand that winning is a team effort. Every body in a team should contribute to his 100% capacity. Many a times winning is also helped by the opponent team making too many mistakes. However, the 24/7 news channels require some breaking stuff every now and then and they make a huge mountains out of nothing. They start blaming the team and specially bring forth the incapacity of the leader. In my opinion what is more important is even if you loose, one should examine the manner in which you loose.

Hi ashok, I never had problems with Mahender Singh Dhooni or his being captain but my problem was the players not playing to their potential because they knew they can not be dropped so they didn't care. Take note till before last match, Gambhir was getting out bold time and again in first 5 overs and so was shewag and Rahane. This shows complete lack of application. Even Virat was getting out on irresponsible shots which wasnt good.

Ashokraghute, I have always said that Indian team is in transition since its great players like Anil Kumble, Sachin, Rahul, laxman retired in last couple of years and Shewag, gambir and Khan are not in their form. So it takes time for the team to build up again. Now we are seeing sign of team coming back together and performing well.

In ODI, no body has point finger on MS Dhoni as a leader and as a batsman. So, it's in the test matches that the question has been raised and believe me those questions are still intact and nothing has changed. Scrutiny of players are done in every country. Now the whole English media is taking swipe at all the non-performing players and their fans are also angry and lambasting English players. So, such kind of brouhaha takes place in each country. But, India should try to maintain their numero uno status atleast a year.

Dude you are right about the politics but decisions of Dhoni earlier dindt work which caught the eye of those critics but he has proved that their is only one and only one M.S Dhoni...Chennai SuperKings whistle Podu....

some people who doesn't know about cricket say that dhoni is unfit but every cricket lover who knows the game know that dhoni is capable of leading the team.in my opinion cricketers are not gods to win each and every match they r also human like us so they do make mistakes and they will learn from the mistakes.when u r team looses a match the media hype is soo much that these media channels analyse all the cricketers and create a negative impact on the players at the time of loosing.we have to remember that none of these media persons never played a game they just analyse its easy to comment they just do these things for their TRP ratings. so people who watch these things also feel negative about the players.so u just have to think with u r own mind what is correct and wrong.i do believe politics in cricket but media negative impact is also the main reason the approach on the game by the people

Yes, it is the politics that dominates sports- be it Cricket, Hockey, football, archery or whatever games or sports you name in India. If people rise above their petty considerations, and do not use sports associations as a source of their enrichment and power, things would be much better in India sports. Alas, we are unlikely to see such a thing happening because of so many constraints.

That is cricket, always unpredictable. The coin can take any of the sides. A few weeks before Indian cricket team was loosing matches back to back and now it's changed into winning strek. You said it right that all of the Indian cricket team members are so much talented and they are the best. But the problem is that sometime it won't work and will fail together to perform.

A team captain doesn't shoot up full grown in a day and die tomorrow like a mushroom. He was made such because he passed qualifications inherent in the sports of his interest. He's there to lead and understand all the strengths and weaknesses of his team members. He's there as a captain to make the team achieved its objectives; to win possibly and cleanly in all competition. Captain is employed to maintain the harmonious relationship of the members so as to effect 100% teamwork during play. Intrusion from individuals, groups, politics, etc. that are inimical to the team's welfare and interest; possibly bring downfall to the name and glory of his team, the captain should be first to prevent or discourage it.

Everyone is entitle to his opinion, but I think your partly right. It is very hard to understand outright the act of a leader, that's unless you will put you shoes to his own shoes. There are actions, ideas and movement hard to understand. Expert says, the position of a leader is the most lonely job for sometimes you are secluded for things to decide at your own and damn if you do and damn if you don't. If you succeed in your plan you will be recognized and if you fail sorry they will hate you.
