Welcome Dhoni ....


Dont get surprised, this welcome is for his captaincy in tests. Some critics were talking about, whether he should be in the test team itself. But now everyone is answered. He is an integral part of the team be it ,ODI &T20.
Onething that i really admire in Dhoni is his ability to stand tall even with very senior players in the team, the way he had handled sachin, dravid, ganguly, yuvi, laxman, sehwag, bhajji etc... mind that all of them are very senior in terms of years of playing cricket forIndia. To lead that bunch you first should beleive in your decissions, normally when a junior is made to lead a bunch of seniors he acts as a mouth piece of senior guys. Never for a moment, one had that feel when Dhoni started leading the team. He is a natural leader and that shows in his body language.
As Ganguly rightly said, Dhoni has that extra bit of luck. Who would have thought that "Joginder Sharma" would bowl the last over of T20 finals, who thought that Praveen kumar will be bowling the new ball in the Tri-Series in Australia.
All said, we see praises showering for Dhoni from all directions as he is on a winning stride but a true leader is tested during the hard times. I hope and sure that Dhoni can handle it too.
For we all know that "It is just a thin line difference between success & disaster".
