The Great Icon of 83 kapil Dev was humiliated soon after the world cup victory as the western union of India Cricket. In fact he was stripped off the captaincy on the behest of Gavaskar. Now another Icon from Northern India ( Dhoni of Uttarakhand) becomes waiting for the same fate sooner or later. BCCI have purposely made their homecoming larger than life......Even Sachin and Dravid deliberately kept off of a national celebration for the reasons best known to them. The Aussies have arrived with a point to prove. Sachin, Saurav and Dravid cannot swallow the accolades showered on Dhoni a cricketer with just 3 years in team India. What Sachin could not achieve in 16 years inspite of being so blessed with technical flawlessness, Dhoni has achieved in 3 years. People say that one man can not turn fortune of a team and its a team effort, just to give Sachina benefit of doubt. Friends People like Jaisurya, hayden, Gilchrist and Steven Waugh did every thing single handed.
The opposite party is eagerly waiting for the outcome of the Ind-Aus ODI series, and no doubt whom they are wishing better luck.
Dhoni you are special, we want to see you as a captain for a longer time and I advice you to strike a balance between highs and lows. Success has many fathers; failure is B*s*a*d

First of all dhoni is ODI, captain for the forth coming Aussies tour to India and this was decided well before inida reached semis of T20. Secondly non of the names that you have mentioned have won a single match single handedly, infact no one can do it. Cricket is not just batting, it requires good balling, batting and fielding to make a team win and that to consitently. And all this cannot be achieved individually, it definitely requires team work. And lastly what our team has won is a 20 over match, no doubt they played good cricket, but this game is entirely different from the formal ODI and I am sorry to say the current T20 team doesnot have the capability to play 50 overs. Only Pathan, bhajji, and RP can bowl well in ODI, shreesanth and Joginder will be massacred in their spell of 10 overs each. SImilarly, only Yuvraj,Dhoni(looking at his steady batting form) and Rohit sharma are capable to play long innings, maybe Ghambhir too. And even Dhoni might be aware of this.

Dhoni is not from uttarakhand but Jharkhand dude, 100% born and brought up, right from his brith in 1981. ABCD of cricket he learnt in Jharkhand itself and started his career playing for u-19 team of Bihar Cricket Association. Yeah his parents were from Uttarakhand which they had to leave due to extreme proverty. So polish your GK first and don;t sing regional tune..already India is so much divided. Yes he carried a blood of uttranchali, but he is like Krishna, Son of Deviki as well as Yashoda.For your better knowledge read the following wiki on Dhoni. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahendra_Singh_Dhoni

My dear friend I don't know when people like you will grow up and stop making comparison between SSR and Dhoni's. All of them are class players and doesn't need any suggestion.So just let them play
