Lately, Dhoni ,the Indian cricket skipper has constantly failed to deliver either as a keeper or as a batsman.
Had he been aggressive, probably, the third and final test match against South Africa could have been won by India.
A defensive approach and pre set mind to draw the match and level series (never achieved by India), was his aim from day one. But to create history and prove the might of number one test team in the world, he should have gone for the kill or at least tried to be offensive at some stage in the game to put pressure on the opponents.
A good balanced team (as we claim India to be), can score 275 runs in a day. Scoring 340 should have been at least, attempted. If, later, 340 appeared un gettable, they could have played out for a draw. That was not done and a tame draw was imminent. A perfect example of poor captaincy.
Nobody ever comments on Dhoni’s captaincy and certain decisions. Are we not biased? He seems to be sailing high just because of some good players under him. Media must learn to call a spade a spade...
