Trending
The last over to Joginder Sharma in 2007 T20 World Cup final, promoting himself ahead of in-form Yuvraj Singh in 2011 World Cup final or giving the ball to the most expensive bowler, Ishant Sharma in the Champions trophy final, when England were cruising and needed only 28 runs in three overs – Dhoni has the knack of making decisions that proved to deliver positive results.
He took unconventional decisions, backed it, and most often ended on the right side of it, bringing many laurels to India. Call him lucky, call him “The great gambler” or call him a genius, one cannot deny that Dhoni had the stomach for taking big unconventional decisions when the stakes were high.
It is really the end of an era that gave many glorious days to the Indian cricket. When Dhoni was once asked question on managing old and young players. He answered, “From Kishore Kumar, we have gone to Sean Paul”.
It goes for the captaincy too, we are moving from an era of Kishore Kumar to Sean Paul.
Over to you Virat Kohli.
