Dhoni was asked how his side had managed to perform so well in both the Champions Trophy and the World T20 with such grave off-field issues in the background. The captain put it down to the environment within the squad. 

 

 

"A good dressing-room atmosphere and having belief in yourself and enjoying each other's success," he said. "A lot of things happen around cricket but you have to be focused when you are representing your country. That is one thing that this team has done really well.

"And of course accepting the challenges, enjoying the challenges, trying to prove that you are one of the best when it comes to international cricketers. Once you are in as a batsman you want to take the team through, if you are bowling well on that particular day you want to take wickets for the team, if you are a part-timer the same things applies. It is all about the dressing-room atmosphere and we have kept it really nice."

India haven't had a good time in World T20s since winning the inaugural one in 2007, and this is the first time they have made the semis since that tournament. When asked if the team had talked about reaching this stage in the build-up, Dhoni said they had not thought about anything but had only come in with the knowledge that they would be playing in familiar conditions.

"We do not really discuss all that because one of the facts is you are supposed to play well. That is what the criteria is. If the consideration was just getting into the semi-finals, then what do you do once you reach the semi-finals? You should be happy and just stay there and say okay, we have reached the semi-finals, we don't really want to play it.

"I feel what we did was, we came in with nothing really in mind. Knew the conditions quite well. We play in the subcontinent quite a few games, especially the IPL, so we had the right kind of exposure. We knew the kind of problems we could face when it comes to bowling and batting and we had to work on that. So again we were concentrating on the process irrespective of what format we are playing. I feel it is always the process that is very important. Once you know the problem area, you can work on it and in a tournament like this it is very important you do not expose yourself, your weak link, to the opposition too much."

On a roll in the ongoing ICC World Twenty20 where his team has entered the finals, Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has another reason to smile as he has won the 2014 Asian award for outstanding achievement in sports here.


Dhoni, currently in Bangladesh leading India in the ICC World T20, was honoured last night.


Former England cricketer Ramprakash, who was to present the award at the glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, read out a message from Dhoni “dedicating the award” to his fans in Asia and all over the world.


The citation said, “Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest finishers in limited overs cricket. Under his captaincy, India has won numerous awards, including the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the CB Series of 2007-08, the 2010 Asia Cup, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.


“In 2013, Dhoni became the first captain to win all the three ICC trophies. Dhoni was ranked 16th on the Forbes list of highest paid athletes.”


Cyrus Poonawalla, Chairman of Poonawalla Group which includes Serium Institute of India, won the Asian Business Leader of the Year award for his outstanding contribution to the field of medicine.


P Hinduja, co-Chairman of the Hinduja Group, presented the award to Poonawalla and hailed his achievements.


Indian film and TV actor Irrfan Khan, the first Bollywood actor to star in two films that won the Academy Award for Best Director — Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and Life of Pi (2012) — was chosen for the Asian outstanding achievement in Cinema award.


Venkatraman “Venki” Ramakrishnan, who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Thomas A Steitz and Ada E Yonath, received the Asian outstanding achievement award in Science and Technology.


Saying that he was touched by the award, Ramakrishnan said: “It is not often scientists are recognised by the society.”


He said the Asian diaspora generally prefer their children to go for studies which is “financially rewarding’’.


Salil Shetty, Secretary General of the Amnesty International, received the Asian Public Servant of the Year award.


Norah Jones, daughter of sitar maestro Ravi Shankar, received the outstanding achievement in music award.


Ahmed Kathrada, who suffered imprisonment for 26 years along with Nelson Mandela in South Africa for his involvement in the anti-apartheid movement, received the Founders Award.


Kathrada dedicated the award to “those comrades who did not live to see freedom in South Africa’’.


Other recipients of the awards were Jackie Chan, MBE (The Fellowship Award), Sir David Tang (Outstanding achievement in the arts), Gok Wan (outstanding achievement in Television award), Lui Che Woo (Entrepreneur of the Year Award).


Paul Sagoo, Founder of the Asian Awards, said the awards have come a long way since their inception in 2009.


“My vision for these awards was simple — to create an event which would recognise exceptional achievement from those within the global Asian community, on a scale which had never been seen or done before.”

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the India captain, won recognition for outstanding achievement in sports at the 2014 Asian Awards in London on Friday (April 4) night.


Dhoni, who is currently leading India in the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh, was unable to make it to the event. Mark Ramprakash, the former England batsman, read out a message from Dhoni “dedicating the award” to his fans in Asia and all around the world.


The citation said, “Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest finishers in limited overs cricket. Under his captaincy, India has won numerous awards including the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the CB Series of 2007-08, the 2010 Asia Cup, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.


“In 2013, Dhoni became the first captain to win all the three ICC trophies. Dhoni was ranked 16th on the Forbes list of highest paid athletes.”


Dhoni became the third Asian cricketer after Sachin Tendulkar and Muttiah Muralitharan to be involved with the annual event. Tendulkar won the 2010 People’s Choice Award, based on votes from the public. In 2011, Muralitharan won the outstanding achievement in sport award.


The Asian Awards, founded by Paul Sagoo, a businessman, in 2010, recognises excellence across 12 categories within the Asian community. Winners are decided by a panel of eminent figures, led by Baroness Verma of Leicester and Lord Wei of Shoreditch.


Apart from Tendulkar and Dhoni, Ratan Tata, Anand Mahindra, Adi Godrej, NR Narayana Murthy, Vijay Mallya, Sunil Mittal, Amitabh Bachchan, Asha Bhosle, Anupam Kher, Akshay Kumar, Yash Chopra and AR Rahman are some of the other prominent Indians to have been recognised by the forum.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the India captain, has won the LG People’s Choice Award 2013, the International Cricket Council announced on Tuesday (December 3).

Dhoni, who was picked by the fans ahead of Alastair Cook, Michael Clarke, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, became the second Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to win this award.

Dhoni, currently in South Africa with the Indian team, thanked the fans who voted for him. “This is one of the awards that has given me tremendous satisfaction, since it comes from the key stakeholders of the game – the fans,” he said.

“Recognition from the people who support and encourage us day in and day out, only inspires me to put in that much more, and go the extra mile for them. I would like to thank all those people who have voted in my favour.”

Dhoni was also part of ICC’s Test and ODI Teams of the Year announced by David Richardson, the Chief Executive of ICC. Dhoni, who figures in the ICC ODI Team of the Year for the sixth successive time, has also been made captain of the ODI side.

In the Test team led by Cook, the England captain, Cheteshwar Pujara was named as an opening batsman while R Ashwin, currently ranked the No. 1 Test allrounder, has been made the 12th man. The team also includes Dale Steyn, who found a place for the sixth successive year, apart from three other South African players that currently top the Test and ODI rankings.

The ODI team includes Shikhar Dhawan, with Tillakaratne Dilshan as his opening partner, while Ravindra Jadeja too finds a place in the playing XI. Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers are the two players apart from Dhoni who figure in both the ODI and Test teams.

The selection panel, headed by Anil Kumble, reviewed the performances of players from August 7, 2012 to August 25, 2013 in arriving at the ICC Test and ODI teams. Kumble said naming a 12-man team was a tough task. “It is always tough to decide on the Test and ODI teams of the year, with so many worthy candidates to consider,” said Kumble.

“The selectors did utilise a vast amount of statistics from the period under observation, but we also took into account other factors like the opposition, pitch conditions, match situation and the like,” Kumble, the former India captain who finished with 619 Test wickets, said. “But when you have only 12 places to fill from a big group of world-class players, there will always be a few who will miss out.”

Dhoni was also nominated for two ICC awards – ICC Cricketer of the Year and ODI Cricketer of the Year – as the shortlist for individual awards was also announced. Amla, Clarke and Anderson were shortlisted for both the Cricketer of the Year and the Test Cricketer of the Year awards, which will be announced on December 14. Pujara, who has played 15 Tests and two ODIs so far, earned two nominations – the Emerging Cricketer of the Year and Test Cricketer of the Year.
