When I first thought to start writing about a piece on MSD. I
was not sure that what to start from. But I am really thankful to Chetan Sharma
& Manoj Prabhakar who actually provoked me to write this blog.
I really amazed how soon we forget positives of a person who
is still the only ONE captain to win all ICC trophies under his captaincy. Even
the captains of mighty Australia have not achieved the feat. Not only this,
he supported the team members when they are in the worst form of their life. Live
example is Rohit Sharma, who has owned a world record of 2 double centuries in
ODIs. Even in some extent Jadeja, who is still one of the best all rounder in
world cricket. (I am saying in the respect of such incident as I know that the
ALLROUNDERS are not accepted in India, particularly because either you have to
be a batsmanor bowler). Whatever someone says, in reality we have An
allrounder today with Indian team , which we were searching since the great
Kapil Dev retired from the world of cricket.
MSD’s achievement in small stats :
- · First Indian captain to win T20 world cup (The inaugural one)
- · First Indian captain to win a triangular series in Australia in 2008
- · First Indian captain to win Man of the match in world cup finals 2011
- · First Indian captain to win a champion’s trophy in 2013 (Ganguly’s team was joint winner with Sri Lanka)
- ·
First Indian
wicketkeeper to lead India in Test/ODI/T20 ever - · He is the only player in world cricket who represents one franchise for more than 100+ matches as captain in T20 format & many more...
If I will start sharing the stats of his wicket keeping
records than I must say, no other Indian wicket keepers are even half of MSD’s
stature.
I accept that it’s tough to digest a series loss against a
team like Bangladesh and I am sure even Dhoni & team is more affected then
us. We must remember that cricket might be a passion or sport for us. However, for them, it’s the bread & butter. They need to keep performing well to stay
in the hunt for a better life style.
I am dead against of changing captain at this moment. When time
is not good, the most experience person should take the reign & play the
show. None other than MSD can do this at this moment. The next experience &
capable player is Kohli. Who is already suffering from bad form. One can imagine
the guy who is a run machine in ODIs, unable to score a 50 in past 10
consecutive ODI inns & have bad anger management. Though I am sure, he is
THE capable person to handle the team once the right team will come. However, I
am sure that right team is not NOW.
The ex cricketers, who all are opposing MSD as a captain or
player. They were a mediocre player of their era. I can see players like Sourav
Ganguly, Kapil Dev, Aliester Cook, Michael Vaughan, Yashpal Sharma is supporting MSD. He must be our captain in a shorter format as he is no more active
in Tests.
We can’t miss a player like MSD due to a series lost. We player
worse than this in past & I am sure the team might play worse than this in
future too. However, I am a firm believer in MSD & can say we will come back
as a much stronger team than ever. Keep faith in MSD & team.
FYI
MSD is currently A captain of the Indian ODI/T20 team. Also A captain of Chennai Super Kings (A T20 franchise). A proud father of Ziva, Husband of Sakshi, son of Mrs & Mr Pan Singh Dhoni.
