As Dhoni's well wisher, I am worried about his batting form starting particularly from the Australia 20-20 match onwards. He seems to be going out of form with the bat. I hope its the captaincy is not eating into his great batting skills of late.......just as wat happened to Ganguly & then Dravid as captains.....???? Please concentrate on your batting too....its very very important. You are now India's capatain mainly because of your gr8 batting.....don't forget that, Mahendra !!?

Dhoni should be captain for his captaincy skills. Not for his batting. His batting is not that great, but he can bat sensibly as situation demands, which is a must for every player.Overall, he is a great character, and also, India bowled and fielded very well (which wouldn't have been possible with several older players in the team), which had been traditionally ignored by the Indian cricket framework.

Comon.. if he can inspire the whole team to perform the way they did in the past few matches... its ok if he doesnt perform with batting.. He is already doing wicket keeping and captaincy.. how many roles do you want him to take.... ? Quit worrying.. Good times are here for Indian Cricket... Lot many youngsters coming up and as tendulkar said yesterday.. INDIAN CRICKET IS IN SAFE HANDS NOW !

Wait...Wait...Lets see what happens when India bats second. India have 100% loss record while batting second in T20 and 100% win record while batting first.

they did win a match against SA before the T20 world cup batting second so its a 50-50 record while batting second..

This is only a coincidence. India chased targets successfully for continuous 16 or 17 matches in ODI. Correct your thinking.
