India has already lost the first two ODIs
against Bangladesh in the three-match series and this has raised great conflict
and debates among the fans and cricket critics who have also pointed a finger
at the ODI skipper Dhoni. For some, Dhoni is incapable of leading his team
towards a win and for some Dhoni is disturbed enough to concentrate on the
tactics that are required to combat the opponents both physically and mentally.
Amidst the rising protest against Dhoni and the demands for removing him from
the captainship, many veteran former Indian cricketers and coaches have come up
in support of the Captain Cool and have claimed that it is not Dhoni’s fault as
a whole to lose the two ODIs against a team of minor qualities and
capabilities.
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has
stood up in support of Dhoni and says that the decision of being in the
captainship or resigning from it is all up to Dhoni and nobody should force or
influence him in that.
Gavaskar said, "It is a decision he has to
take. Look, you can't take away the achievements from him. He is India's best
captain by far. He has done almost everything, be it, T20, ODIs, Champions
Trophy or World Cup. He took India to the number one ranking in Tests. So his
achievement is manifold."
Chanchal Bhattacharya, the childhood coach of
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is of the opinion that the prevailing atmosphere in the
dressing room has greatly affected the skipper. Bhattacharya said, “I don’t
know the inside story but we have seen Dhoni play and fight till the last over.
If one’s mind is not at peace then it is impossible to play. He is unable to
deliver his best because of mental pressure and because of the dressing room’s
environment as well as the media. I haven’t spoken to him but I feel the
environment of the dressing room is bad.”
Bangladesh scored a six-wicket win over India
in Dhaka in the last ODI and this has fuelled up all the controversies
regarding the eligibility of Dhoni. But in reality it is totally baseless as in
comparison to the wins and good days that Dhoni has brought to the team India,
this defeat means nothing.
