Under scrutiny !!


In my earlier blogs i have already stated the fact that when things come to cricket, things gradually shift to another planet. Cricket being the most sacred sport of India, is worshipped by the millions. Before we move any further, let's have a quick glance over these facts:-
Mahendra Singh Dhoni- the man with a Midas touch. The same man who:-
- Lead India to T-20 World Cup victory in 2007.
- Lead India to 2011 World Cup victory.
- Lead India to 2013 Champions Trophy Victory.
- Lead India to No 1 spot in Test cricket.
If that's not all, wait I am not finished yet. He is the same man who:-
- Is excellent in his job as wicket keeper.
- Has been awarded with Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 2007.
- Was ODI player of the year back in 2008 and 2009.
- Took Chennai Super Kings to new heights.
There are lots more and this blog will never end. So moving on..
                                 Recently India lost the series against Bangladesh. Dhoni- the 'Captain Cool' is in fact not so cool these days. He is the one, who is under heavy criticism following the ODI series loss to Bangladesh. The level of frustration has increased to an extent, that he has even offered to step down from captaincy. Several former cricketers have rallied around the wicketkeeper-batsman and wants him to stay on. What say ?? Yes indeed. Dhoni-the man with a tremendous amount of patience and composure, who keeps calm even in the most intense of situations on field, the man with best intuition instincts, the man who shows enormous (in fact gigantic !!) amount of confidence in a player in his bad form, the man who is a source of inspiration to many, is 100 % required in the final 11. "Just one bad series, and everyone forgets who you are", shouldn't be happening pragmatically. And consider the main reason too. Match after match after match. With such a hectic schedule, you don't have much time to analyse. BCCI needs to understand the situation. (And indeed they have - Zimbawe tour has been cancelled due to this hectic schedule as well as other primary reasons). And people, have faith. He will deliver !! 
                            However the big question remains- Will he play in the upcoming 2019 world cup ??
