When a team fails in a final, decision took by the captain is always questioned? Dhoni is a good captain with a lot of luck. He is an expert in handling pressure situations and won several matches for us. The only problem with him is that he doesn’t try to utilize the entire resources of the team.
Look at the bowling figures of our team in the final match against Sri Lanka:
Harbhajan Singh: 10 Overs, 41 runs, 2 wickets, Economy Rate: 4.1
Yuvraj Singh: 9 Overs, 41 runs, 1 wicket Economy Rate: 4.6
Ravindra Jadeja: 7 Overs, 29 runs, 1 wicket, Economy Rate: 4.1
Zaheer Khan: 10 Overs, 51 runs, No wicket, Economy Rate: 5.1
Sree Santh: 9.3 Overs, 72 runs, No wicket, Economy Rate: 7.6
All spinners got wickets and their economy rate is very low compared to that of the fast bowlers. But only Harbhajan is allowed to complete the ten overs. When the strike bowlers are not performing, every captain should utilize their slow bowlers according to the situation demands. Jadeja is a good bowling option in this wicket, but he was given only 7 overs.
Another surprising fact is that Dhoni never use the all round capabilities of Sachin and Sehwag. Both of them are experts in getting important wickets in crucial situations. But under the captaincy of Dhoni, the two always remain as specialist batsmen. So we are forced to believe that Dhoni has some hidden agenda. He only treats Yuvraj, Raina, Jadeja and even Virat Kohly as all rounders.
A dashing player like Sehwag should not be rested in future ODI matches. This tournament witnessed such unwanted experiments. Remember, Sri Lanka’s key player Dilshan is not allowed to take rest in the insignificant match against India.
These attitudes should be changed to achieve the number one spot in the game of glorious uncertainties!
