Dhoni needs a second wind as Captain--Rahul Dravid


This Blogger is a rejoinder to my earlier Blog on the Captaincy of Dhoni in which I said"Blame Dhoni for every disaster if you want total ruin of Indian Cricket" On the eve of the start of Oneday internationals betweenIndia&England,Rahul Dravid the veteran cricketer&former skipper of Indian Cricket presented an article in the cricket site"cricinfo" in which he has brought out all merits Demerits & pros and corns in reply ,perhaps,to the critics who make HUE&CRY about the Captaincy of Mahendrasingh Dhoni. Sunil Gavaskar,Sachin Tendulkar&Rahul Dravid are the "THRIMOORTHYS" of Indian Cricket. Sachin alone yet to retire from all versions of Indian Cricket except "one day internationals" about which he ,perhaps, took an early decision to retire. The effect of his retirement was obvious from the humiliating loss sustained against Pakistan.Sachin's very presence in the Team could have produced some Inspiration & discipline in the team.This could have also stood as an obstacle from humiliation. Sachin had a reputation of playing against Pakistan very well.But Indian Cricket failed to take advantage of Sachin by putting pressure on him to retire just because he was not among glorious runs.No one bothered to think about the occasional ups& downs of any cricketer.But in Sachin's case it was something different.He is the only cricketer who had brought many laurels in cricket for India(Difficult to count). Sunil Gavaskar is a former veteran who always thought about welfare&good name of Indian Crocket. Rahul Dravid the other veterans among thr "THRIMOORTHYS" is not only a veteran cricketer&former Captain but a thinking expert of Cricket. His comments about Dhoni in the Article mentioned in the Blog subject is worth reading. Let us all, who love cricket, wish India every success in the series starting tomorrow with the hope that every Plyer would remember that either 4 wins or a whitewash of 5 match series could bring back the first rank for a Team affordede by The International Cricket Council SreedharanMundanat 10th January2013 19-35{IST}
