MI is neverthless an inferior team. They all had the big shots with them. Had they entered semifinals they would have been the only team who can threaten any other team. Be it either Delhi or Rajastan or Punjab or Chennai. May be but as far as captaincy is concerned you should accept the fact that Dhoni makes some positive difference compared to other captains. Dhoni defended his team. Sachin is an icon and even if he is in the team irrespective of whether he is the captain or not..the team members get their inspiration from him. But even i expected MI would enter semifinals. I opted for Chennai and MI for the semis.But unfortunately Delhi got in. It would have been a tough war if MI have entered semis..
