Dhoni is Different
by abhishek pandey on Sep 19, 2007 01:46 AM   Permalink

Dhoni has a totally different approach to on-field and off-field lives in cricket. Mind you, I am talking approach and not end-result (Number of runs and number of endorsements may make him look very similar to others). The problem with people is that they don't want change as it helps them to continue with their established way of cribbing. One should look at Dhoni's appointment as a refreshing change in leadership. A leadership that may borrow ideas from outrageously different sports. A leadership that may look to anull politics than to use it favorably (like Ganguly) or to succumb to it (like most others).
Dhoni's best weapons are his unconventional approach, style, thinking and behavior. His body language inspires confidence and aggression.
As for the challenges from Australian off-field assault, I am looking forward to yet another unconventional Dhoniism. In my opinion, this is the best series to test his mettle.
Let us wish him luck and just sit back and enjoy a different style of leadership. Let us keep our judgment suspended for next couple of months atleast.
