The way, Dhoni led this young team to the pinnacle of the T-20 summit, We must admit the guy is one hell of a captain. It was very evident that he never lost hope even at the most crucial junctures and played it very coolly. He seems to be avery level headed and calm young man. He has answered all his critics, who admonished his elevation to the captaincy, by helping the young team win the inaugural T-20 world cup. Congrats Mahi. Keep it up.

yeah, he has to back it up with consistent performance. many, especially the big trio fans scoffed at his captancy with no record. there in lies the rub, other countries dont have decorated batsmen, they just have foot soldiers who have leadership qualities, ponting was nowhere near his explosive best before he was a captain, he's really flourished as a captain, and a really established player once he donned the mantle, he's coming close to sachin's number of centuries in test cricket! (he does have a great setup that helps him out, so his captaincy is not as stressful as an indian captains'). nevertheless, its funny that a ponting, a smith are respected by the countrymen at the choice of the selectors. in india, first the whole management are a bunch of buffons, namley the bcci bunch, the selectors are regionally biased, to the point of captains resigning in a huff. also, in india, there's no reason, nor any logic, fans are blind beyond thier respective heroes.
