The Dhoni phenomenon
He
is the newest poster boy of the cricket world. A daredevil with a pleasing
demeanour, his understanding of the game has made him a force to reckon with,
writes Gopal Sharma
At
a time when the Indian cricket team
is in the transition period with so many young and talented players from
unknown places making their presence felt, the charismatic Mahendra Singh Dhoni
has come as a whiff of fresh air. He has invigorated the Indian team buffeted
by the departure of Sourav Ganguly, recurring injuries to Sachin Tendulkar and
the indifferent form of Virender Sehwag. The success of Dhoni has been the
single most important factor in India winning 22 ODIs out of the 32 they have
played under Greg Chappell.
