<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2004 Dhoni the long haired wicket
keeper batsmen from Jharkand the first to represent India from the
region arrived as a hard hitting flamboyant batsmen with his
trademark helicopter shot which never existed before</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">,who wasn't
afraid to take a risk and was a gambler by nature.When thrusted with
captaincy of young indian side for world twenty 20 in South Africa
he trusted his guts and wasn't afraid to gamble.Opening the bowling
with Yusuf Pathan or asking Joginder Sharma to bowl the last over
when your most experienced bowler had an over left and when world cup
is at stake was a brave move which paid off for him and made him the
poster boy of indian cricket .Not many can ask Rahul Dravid to move
down the order ,he did and promoted Pujara against Australia which
led way to a famous india win .</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUPMgl3gl8SUOG5Wltbkk4-ArvcIF04EkEP1dnGcQ3A3p8596awr_R0IzwE2K8WKO2loJxDpv8rxe0Cchqo47iXoi1Dw3IY7eBBywCDMkXWD0DUHYSp1ILoaYVhxzXn1YbfsXMnHVt3JI/s1600/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUPMgl3gl8SUOG5Wltbkk4-ArvcIF04EkEP1dnGcQ3A3p8596awr_R0IzwE2K8WKO2loJxDpv8rxe0Cchqo47iXoi1Dw3IY7eBBywCDMkXWD0DUHYSp1ILoaYVhxzXn1YbfsXMnHVt3JI/s320/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who can forget Dhoni walking out in
middle ahead of inform Yuvraj Singh in world cup final.Again he knew
what was at risk and the nation would have crucified him if it had
gone wrong for him ,but here was Dhoni unfazed by the situation and
what was at stake .He delivered once again with a match winning
knock.Here was a small town boy who wasn't shy on taking
responsibilities .Here was a captain who was doing the opposite what
others might have .He was ready to gamble because till then playing
safe was never in his mindset.Whatever he touched turned into gold
and he played the most significant role in India rise to no 1 in test
and wining the world cup after 28 years .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And thats where the fairytale ended.It
started off with when he agreed to call the match off when India
needed 86 to win of last 15 overs with 7 wickets in hand , easily
achievable in 20-20 days and make a statement of being the no 1 test
side in the world .He dint display the heart of Worlds best test
side.The tour down under later in the year he played the same eleven
which starred in Melbourne to Adelaide although india had already
lost the series 3-0 prior to Adelaide .In the ODI series that
followed Manoj tiwary remained on the sidelines when Raina and Rohit
were falling miserably ,Dhoni was becoming the rigid captain who was
afraid to gamble and make a change or two.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the recently concluded world twenty
20 after dropping sehwag against australia to play five bowlers it
was baffling to see the part timers bowl 4 overs when australia
crushed india in 15 overs with India's front line bowlers having 4
overs to spare .Some may argue that the front line bowlers were
getting hammered around but they were the best chance of taking a
wicket .Against south africa when Dhoni knew he had to restrict South
Africa to under 121 it was ridiculous to see Rohit bowl before
Ashiwn and when South Africa reached the target of 121, he had
three overs left from his front line bowlers his approach after the
world cup 2011 of hope watch and sit back was taking India towards
elimination from yet another world twenty-20 .Even the selection for
the match was baffling after watching Pakistan and Australia match to
pick three seamers against the team which is traditionally poor
players of spin was an awkward selection.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dhoni terming the performance of india
in the tournament as satisfactory sounded hallow, on papers they won
four of five which is indeed satisfactory but they had everything in
their favor in the tournament .India was the only side to play all
its game on one venue and the venue that suited their style of
cricket Premadasa.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bowling has never been India's strenght
but in this tournament, India bowled out its opposition four out of
five times but it was the batting which let India down which is it's
strength .Asking Pathan to open when all the other sides wanted their
best three to face as many balls as possible and put a defendable
score ,Dhoni the world's best one day batsmen was not ready to move
up the order and watch the others scratch around and wait for the
late flourish which never arrived.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dhonis style of play at start was more
about his calmness and attitude then skills .His rise was because he
was ready to do the unthinkable ,take the risk and gamble he was the
aderaline team India needed.. a team which was too over dependent
on ageing seniors.In sports <span style="color: #333333;">you
punt, win or lose, or play it safe and lose more often than not .In
Dhonis case he's losing more often then winning now.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Is our indian cricket team following the english football team ,if you look at EPL its probably the biggest and best managed football league in the world with english players as legends of the game already still playing.Yet english football has yet to achieve any silverware since 1966.Why is that the same legends when playing together cant even get to business end of a major tournament </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">(rings any bells world twenty20).If you look at UEFA champions league for the last five year one of the major english team is in finals or semi finals more often then not.Yet when it comes to representing the country the players don't seem to gel together is it maybe they are so used to playing against each other week after week the coordination (so important n any team sports) is just not there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Now put this in respect to our Indian twenty 20 team,You have Viru,Gauti,Kohli,Raina,Yuvi,Dhoni,Rohit (highly overrated),Ashwin legends of twenty 20 if not world cricket but have failed to get into business round of the tournament since their triumph at inaugural edition in 2007 but then the IPL was still a dream.After its inaugural year I perhaps thought indian twenty 20 team will do wonders at world stage of 20-20.But isit the perfect example of the players so used to playing against each other over the period of IPL that they just cant gel together anymore.You see our indian twenty 20 team on field together they seem to be playing against each other then with each other.The only ones to do slightly better are the youngsters who just wanna play a game of cricket.You have Viru Vs Dhoni,Gauti Vs Dhoni ,Gauti's Captaincy ambition,Dhonis favoritism for his chennai teammates and these are just few things which you can see them carry on the field.Imagine Viru sharing Gautis weakness in daredevils dressing room with Morkel the same guy who will plan his downfall next year when india travels to south africa.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">In the past you had Sachin, Kumble, Saurav, Dravid who understood really early in their careers that you don't have to the best of friends off the field to win a cricket match but be best of buddies on the field cause representing the game and nation is far bigger then their personal ego.There is an old saying in cricket what happens on the field stays on the field.The past cricketers often said after the game they used to hang out for a drink or two and talk abt the game but those were the times of long tours with not much to do around .I have never been inside any dressing room but i doubt todays players go to each other after the game for a beer of two (The Kevin Pietersen saga is still fresh ) Seeing them on field lately I doubt dhoni and sehwag having dinner together after the game.Seeing the champions league indian players seem to be much more at ease when playing for their franchise then when they are represting india in shorter form of the game (In Test you still have Sachin around who with him brings a certain calmness in the team and drives the team forward for a common goal.)</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Ask any player they will say Test cricket is the ultimate thing then why is ICC worried about test cricket dyeing??.Ask any player country comes first then why do players carry a injury or delay their operations ,players speaking against the board just to play a domestic league.I as layman do understand athletes have short period of time to accumulate as much wealth as possible then compared to other professionals and they have every right to do so who doesn't want to be rich life is all about abundance.But not Indian players cause cricket here is a religion and the playing eleven are not mere mortals but are GOD.And if GODs cant pull their act together the world of Indian cricket will be a mess.These are worrying signs and if the BCCI,players,team management don't get their act together , I see indian team struggling in the shorter version for years to come,Then again I am just a fan who stays glued to television at wee hours late night just to watch an india win.This is the game which pulls india together .So for the sake of one billion die hard fans I hope the officials and players get their act together cause the joy and the blessings they get when they win is far getter then their franchises owners joy or the money that comes with those owners.. IPL has become so competitive that it might be difficult for sachin to cheer on Viru for example? Or dhoni to encourage sachin?I don't know is it about the money or playing against each other,team mates sharing their weakness with fellow franchise mates all i know is the Indian twenty 20 team is at crossroads and IPL is one of the main reasons for it if not the only one .Lets just pray that this could be a case of me making something out of nothing, but I am really keen that the playing 11 once again </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><strong>BLEED BLUE.</strong></span></span></div>

is expected to increase to 57%—the second-most used channel, behind
only face to face interaction—within five years. (<a href="http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2012/05/study-shows-social-media-slowly-replacing-face-to-face-customer-interaction.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Marketing

30% of the world’s entire population is now online, and social
networking is the most popular and time consuming online
activity—with users spending more than one fifth (22%) of their
time engaging on social media channels. This means that more than 250
million tweets and 800 million Facebook status updates are now
published every single day. (<a href="http://www.mindjumpers.com/blog/2012/05/time-spend-online/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">MindJumpers</span></a>)<br /><br />3.
