The Great Icon of 83 kapil Dev was humiliated soon after the world cup victory courtesy the western union of India Cricket. In fact he was stripped off the captaincy on the behest of Gavaskar( India lost 5-0 to WI). Now another Icon from Northern India ( Dhoni of Uttarakhand) is 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

I totally agree with u.It is a veru childish comment by Tushar .If a team wins then it is the victory & collective effort of all whether noth or south India.All cricketers are first Indian then from north or south.It shows ur sick mentality of creating a divide between 2 regionsw

I pray that our nation dosn,t produce another Sachin. 15000 runs in ODI 150 wickets 41 centuries .11000 runs in test. it will take centuries too beat them all together. still got hit by 1 less than 100 crore rotten eggs, i din,t throw one at him. produce dhoni produce ghambir produce yuvaraj again but god never produce another sachin. our nation doesn,t deserve one.

actually we dont need a sachin, someone who would get blah blah 15000, blah blah 150 and 11000 and still india would always be on losing side and scared of pak and anywhere outside of india. what they need is a bunch of unknown faces who deliver when required and dont always need excuses of loss like i did my part but then he didnt do his so we lost.. remember it is a team game and there is no space for blind follower ship of one person like a God. which our soceity is so good at doing all the time.

"People like Jaisurya, hayden, Gilchrist and Steven Waugh did every thing single handed" - Hayden gilchrist and waugh all batsman.. do you think they wud have managed what they did without McGrath and shane warne? to win a game the team has to excel in all aspects .. batting bowling and fielding! When India won in australia, people like you said they did cos there was no Mcgrath! Why did'nt the aus batsman then win single handed?

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.

Some of the stupid north 'Indian' thinks so based on region, caste. They better watch their politics than cricket and clear their shit there instead of blaming someone.
