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
