Dunno about their individual psychology, but for sure Chennai players played with lot more authority.
Supposed stars like Marsh, Hopes, Yuvi, Pathan, Sreesanth appeared to suddenly have forgotten that they know how to play cricket...
That certainly helped Dhoni... Although how do people reckon the failure of opponents happens because of Dhoni's captaincy, I dunno...
Maybe it will be time to dump, blast and curse Dhoni tomorrow .. . when his supposedly invincible team falters against RR... or will it be the case of RR faltering and Warne wearing the crown of thorns.. a la worst captain tag?.. ;-)
I dunno how the ability of one captain is determined by the opponent... Till yesterday, Viru was a performing youngster fearless leader as opposed to Sachin who was the worst captain.. Yesterday Viru became the worst captain ... today that title is stolen by Yuvi...
Don't understand how 40 overs (or maybe 2 overs as in case of Sachin) suddenly change an individual from a hero to zero.. :-)
