Mahi Ve!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, nicknamed Mahi, in a recent statement to the media has scratched the disease which was curing with passing days. According to him, his support for youngsters for the Australia’s tour has been proved right. The results are there to see.

He also said that by beating Australia, his team filled with young bloods has proved that the team can play well and beat others even if seniors are not around. No doubt about it. He has proved it.

But, Dhoni being a captain of India needs to show some sense while speaking to the media. Such statement was not required. It did not go well with many others in the game. The tour of South Africa has just begun, and by giving such statement at this juncture only creates confusion within the team.

He should not forget that the players he is referring are great players. They have proved their worth time and again. A bad patch doesn’t mean the player has lost the shine. Sachin Tendulkar by playing marvelous innings in the finals has proved that a mix of both, juniors and seniors is a must for the team to be number one. It also helped India to register its one of the greatest victory.

It is true that had India lost the series down under then, the media would have run for Dhoni’s blood. One bad patch and all is over. Statement like this will only demoralize the team. Seniors are there to guide the team. At crises, these seniors can be handy. Dhoni has been supporting Yuvraj Singh and Utappha. The later has shown some character, but regarding Yuvraj Singh, I feel the Indian team is carrying an NPA. If a certain player is not in form, give him rest. Let him get back his rhythm.

So, next time Mr. Dhoni when you make a statement like this, please be sure what you are speaking. You might feel that you are speaking your heart. But don’t forget that your heart is being read by millions of people
