This is somewhat like Indian culture, that when a person is going through a rough patch, make sure he doesn’t come out of it.
This is what happening with the MS Dhoni right now. Once the Massiah of Indian Cricket, his stars are in all time low. Resignation from the team India’s captaincy, forced to step down from IPL team Pune Supergaint and indifferent form with the bat making life difficult for the former captain “Cool”.
So, seeing an opportunity, people started all gun blazing against him. Those who never played higher than street cricket in their life, those who were never achieved the kind of heights, Dhoni achieved, and so so called cricket analyst, all are trying to establish a myth that Dhoni is not a good t20 player.
But, for their kind information, statistics just laughs on their faces, and slaps hard as well.
These statistics of Dhoni IPL career, for those who are shouting big after just his three-four failures in the ongoing edition.
Dhoni has played 146 IPL matches so far. In those matches, he scored 3299 runs with a unbelievable average of 38.81. But, more importantly, as the norm in t20, his strike rate too is 137.98, which is much higher than some of the specialist t20 batsmen.
It shows clearly, that his critics are shouting big, without a base. And one must not care of those, as after all it is the culture of our country, unfortunately. As a true Dhoni fan, just wait with patience, the Big Hitting Mahi will arrive soon.
