What a night! Yes, this is exactly what most of us think when we reminiscence the night of April 2, 2011. India won the ICC world cup 2011 and brought home the most prestigious honor in the field of cricket for next 4 years. Although it was the Team India who played the game and won the trophy, the entire nation felt like winners. The acclamation has definitely upheld the name of the country at the International level. And the entire credit goes to the Team India and its captain M.S Dhoni. Mahendra Singh Dhoni did an extremely flawless job by keeping its team all together and encouraging them to perform better and better with each new challenge.
M.S Dhoni leveraged the potential of Indian Cricket Team
Undoubtedly, M.S Dhoni has done a brilliant job. Not only he showed the great deal of faith in his team members, but also proved that he has the power to determine their potential and push them in the field with right responsibility at the right time. With every game, he proved that he has the ability to get the best of his team members. He told the entire world that he has worked on his team and understands each player’s weakness and strengths and hence, put them on field to deliver their best. The quality to identify the strengths of a player and using it at the right time makes Dhoni a truly intelligent captain. It is difficult to find out a situation where one can point out that the Indian Cricket team captain took a wrong decision at any time and made the entire team suffer because of it. There were some decisions that were questionable but they surely did not end up in any loss. Hence, to say that M.S Dhoni showed lack of astuteness while making any choices would be erroneous.
Where Dhoni went wrong
If one asks now, the answer is – absolutely nowhere. However, if we go back to the time when the final match was being played between Sri Lanka and India, many cricket veteran and debaters expressed their disapproval regarding the decision of taking unpredictable player Sreesanth over off-spinner R Ashwin. Especially, when to their horror, things actually worked against the Indian Team, people went a little anti-Dhoni. But then Dhoni came on the field and did what only a true sportsman can do. An outstanding batting and the awesome winning score made M.S Dhoni win all hearts once again. Undoubtedly today, Dhoni has made his reputation where all he is going to get it is kudos and praises.
In the end, it goes without saying that since the time ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 has ended, one question that has been hovering over the entire cricket fraternity is that if Dhoni is India’s greatest Captain. Hugely disputable, the question has brought various mixed opinions where some stands in favor of it while others believed it to be the responsibilities of the captain. As of now, M.S, Dhoni is indeed one of the Indian greatest cricket players and greatest Captain ever.
