Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a guy who when was at the crease gave us that little hope that made us sit down there in front of the TV even when we knew that there's hardly any realistic chance of us winning the game but he stood their till the end helpless seeing other guys get out at the other end miserably. But all he could do was to get disappointed but so was his irony of fate that he couldn't show his emotions because he was the captain of a confused bunch of guys who hardly knew what to do when the things turned sour. He wanted them to know that it's all right there's nothing wrong, there's still hope, we can do it, I am there just stay with me, just stay with me......please...... often it went unheard but that little confidence gave confidence to the guys at the other end. Often we say or maybe it is true that he isn't a good test cricketer if I am to rephrase that I would say he isn't a good overseas test player. From …show more content…
There's not much to say which hasn't been spoken about Dhoni. There is so much that je has done and so much he hasn't. The time will be the judge of it. But one thing I am sure, the history won't be kind to him. The history will see him as a captain who couldn't perform overseas. But I believe and I believe strongly that the cricketers who knew Dhoni, those who saw his struggle in managing a team which had nothing more than domestic bowlers trying hard to win overseas, will have enormous respect for the things he did to indian cricket! The things which you can't weigh materialistically. The greatest contribution of Dhoni has to be the the word Cool. He taught all of us as to how to stay calm and composed in a tense situation and how to finish what you've started.
That is Dhoni! And that is his memory! Let's cherish this at the moment!
The world cup is coming! And Dhoni is a master of that game! We will get a new memory of Dhoni to cherish
