Think before Hating MSD

Before reading this just remember i am not a die heart fan of MSD. But after thinking a lot  i don’t find any reason to hate him like many Indians do. Holding the hope of Indian team for 10 Long years. Ain’t it tough to carry the responsibility like this.India is a country everyone is a die heart fan of cricket and giving enough trophies to celebrate in due time interval is always Great .

List of Multi-Nation Tournament’s won by MS DHONI as captain of team INDIA

– T20 WC 2007 in South Africa  

– CB series 2008 in Australia (AUS, SRI & IND) – Tri series 2009 in Srilanka (IND, NZ & SRI) – ASIA Cup 2010 in Srilanka – WC 2011 in INDIA – ICC CT 2013 in England – Tri Series 2013 in Westindies ( IND, SRI & WI) – ASIA Cup 2016 in Bangladesh

We celebrate when Dhoni finishes off in style with a six and what if he played a bit defensive in one or two matches or be it Ten matches. Let Dhoni takes his retirement in One day Internationals and T20 than who will keep the wickets( I don’t find a front line genuine wicket keeper Batsmen in present time who can finish matches like this and play at number 4,5,6,7 anywhere and can maintain a healthy strike rate more than 100 without even hitting boundaries along with maintaining an average of more than 50 in One day internationals.The way he plays the unorthodox shots like and runs like a Cheetah and not to forget he still has the power to hit 104 Meter monstrous six.(300 sixes in total) Captain ship – He has never sent anyone to Press when India loose a match and has never held the trophy in the champion pic ever.This is Dhoni for us….When India looses than he simply takes the responsibility and when asked about someone who is not performing he answers and defends and later on that player emerges as a champion( Rohit and Jadeja) Ashwin has himself admitted that Dhoni’s confidence is the reason for his great performance in recent time. Who would have dared to give an off spinner in power play in T20 match that too in 2009.Not to forgot his recent backing for Dhawan before the Final match and the rest what happened in final is History. His support for Yuvi in recent time is like a brother in fact(I am a die heart Yuvi fan) But i never felt that Dhoni is the reason for his absence in the team.. In fat the way Dhoni handled his return has impressed me a Lot…. Moreover Kohli himself told Dhoni as the Best  finisher and one doesn’t simply have an average of 100+ in successful ODI chases.

Hats off Dhoni Hope one more great Performance in recent time
