Draws in South Africa. Takes Team India to number one in ICC Test Rankings.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2011Experts : His Limited Overs Captaincy skills have waned. 2 T20 World Cups and one Mini World Cup gone and yet no silverware for Team India. Surely can’t win the World Cup at home!MSD : Wins the World Cup with a magnificent 91 in the final. Silence and smile. Experts : He is the best Captain. The Captain with Midas Touch. He can do anything!MSD: Loses to England 4-0 in England. Silence and Smile...... Ahem. Experts : His wicket keeping was exposed. Captaincy was atrocious.

Silence and Smile. Experts : Fine ODI player. Good finisher. But doesn’t have the technique to bat in Tests!MSD : Wins first series for India in West Indies. Called too defensive.

Must lead in all formats.MSD : Loses Test series in South Africa and New Zealand, where India had good chances of leveling series.

Also, keep an eye on Saha and Ojha. Better keepers than Dhoni.MSD : Almost gets India another World T20 trophy. India draws in Nottingham and wins at Lords. Silence. Experts : Amazing to see India rattle England with the short stuff. Stupendous captaincy by skipper to show faith in Ishant and his short pitched bowling. Is it the beginning of a turnaround?MSD : India goes on to lose the next three Tests. And the series with a score-line 3-1. Silence. Experts : Dhoni’s captaincy can at best be called baffling. He must thank his CSK boss Srinivasan for continuing to captain India.MSD : Silence. Experts : Virat’s captaincy was so refreshingly aggressive in Adelaide in stark contrast to Dhoni’s in Brisbane. Who bowls bouncers to Mitchell Johnson?Negative Captaincy. Maybe the right time for Virat to take over from Dhoni. MSD : Silence and Gone... That is My Dhoni Love you MSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
