Dhoni carries forward Ganguly's flame
Exactly eight years to the day since he first captained India in a Test, against Bangladesh in Dhaka, Sourav Ganguly marshalled the resources one last time. The ninth Australian wicket had fallen and the fielders were hovering around Cameron White and Mitchell Johnson with Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra having scripted a dramatic post-lunch collapse. It was a remarkable gesture from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and it said much about how quickly he has grown into the job. A less secure man would have wanted to hog the limelight, but by ceding space to one of Indian cricket's all-time greats for a couple of overs, Dhoni showed just how aware he was of the bigger picture.
It came through in the tactics he employed as well. There had been scathing comments made about the 8-1 fields and wide bowling on the third morning, but there was tacit acknowledgement from Ricky Ponting that he would have loved it if his bowlers could have exercised similar control. Dhoni may have re-ignited debates about the spirit of cricket and a win-at-all-costs mentality, but as far as the team was concerned, eight wickets for 166 runs in a full day on a batsman-friendly pitch was nothing to sneeze at.
"He has that extra bit of luck you need," said Ganguly later, and he wasn't being uncharitable. There were moments in the match when Dhoni's leadership appeared bereft of direction, but then something would happen that made you forget what had preceded it. So it was on Monday afternoon with Matthew Hayden flailing away at the bowling with the air of a man who refused to countenance defeat. Runs were being leaked at an alarming rate and there were no close catchers for either Hayden or Michael Hussey as Dhoni concentrated on cutting off the fours.
Then, he threw the ball to Mishra. The game changed. His fourth ball from round the wicket was a perfectly pitched topspinner that reared up like many a Kumble special had over the previous two decades. All Hussey could do was lob to slip, and the mini-crisis was over. Hayden then tried to improvise once too often against Harbhajan and after that, the outcome of the match was in no doubt.
The early belligerence from Australia, and Hayden in particular, had pushed Dhoni on to the defensive quickly. Ishant Sharma, the standout bowler of the series, bowled to an 8-1 field against Simon Katich, and had seven on the off side for Hayden. But with plenty of runs being surrendered behind the wicket, Zaheer's opening spell of six overs cost 44 runs.
Again, Dhoni came up with the right change. Stroke of genius or plain luck, Harbhajan's arrival at the bowling crease changed things. Dhoni put down a chance off the second ball he bowled, but there was an element of recklessness in Hayden's approach that made India believe that playing the patience game would bring about a breakthrough.
India managed just 21.3 overs in that first session, and the shadow cast by dismal over-rates that caused Ponting to take his eye off the ball on the fourth evening appeared to affect Dhoni too. With Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan bowling offspin in tandem, Hayden was only too happy to tee off, especially with the variety of sweeps that caused such devastation back in 2001.
Dhoni though never loses his cool. The field went out, the game seemed to drift and then Mishra came on. It was almost as though Australia had been lulled into a false sense of security and then struck with an upper-cut. Within minutes, the fielders were swarming around the bat and the men-on-the-rope tactics quickly forgotten. Mishra was far too much for the tail to handle, and there was just enough uneven bounce to make Harbhajan dastardly difficult to play.
"There will be greater tests for MS, especially when he takes the team abroad," said Ganguly afterwards. It was a quiet reminder to everyone of just how hapless India once were when they left home comforts behind. But though Dhoni may not quite have been Safe Hands behind the stumps in this game, there's enough intuition and spark in his leadership to suggest that Indian cricket's future could be very bright indeed.
At the start of the millennium, Ganguly started the journey to "raise Indian cricket's profile overseas". For 10 minutes this afternoon just before a famous triumph was clinched, the past and future were intertwined. In so many ways, Dhoni is the best man to carry forward the Ganguly flame. These could well be the best of times.

Sourav's comments abt dhoni...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni asked you to lead for a while on the last day and he also asked Anil Kumble to come over and receive the Border-Gavaskar Trophy along with him. Your feelings on those gestures.
It was wonderful of him to do that. Dhoni is the flag-bearer of the future generation. I wish him my sincere good wishes. He can do a lot for Indian cricket.
What are the qualities you admire in him as a leader?
He has done great so far and I’m sure he’ll take Indian cricket forward. He’s got the spark in his captaincy. I’ve always believed that captaincy is not about the drawing boards and meetings, it’s about how you react to situations on the cricket field. So far he has reacted to them very positively and in a very fantastic way.
Dhoni... :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:
Another series win for Dhoni, serious problems for his bashers :lol:
CHIKASPEAK CLEARING THE AIR
‘Dhoni one of the best in world’
Best Thing About Dhoni’s Captaincy Is That He Is Calm Under Pressure, Says Srikkanth
Dwaipayan Datta | TNN
Chennai: If ever there was any tension brewing between Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the selection committee, it has dissipated into thin air.
It’s all like a family now and chairman of selectors Krishnamachari Srikkanth said on Monday how happy he is with the way the Indian team has done under Dhoni. Blowing away the Kanpur
controversy as ‘history’, Srikkanth said: “Dhoni is quite clearly one of the best captains in the world. It’s exemplary the way he is leading this team to one success after the other,” Srikkanth told the TOI during an exclusive chat on the sidelines of the launch of the Chennai Super Kings fan club.
“The best thing about his captaincy is that he keeps things simple and is always calm under pressure,” Chika said, referring to the recent performances of the Indian team. “It wasn’t any different on Sunday in Bangalore when India were just in a spot of bother. He handled his resources quite magnificently and helped us clinch the series,” the chairman of selectors added, with his trademark wink.
Srikkanth also talked about the aggressive intent of Dhoni that rubs onto the whole side. “Just look at the way he motivates these boys. I had seen it in him when he was in charge of the Chennai Super Kings team in the IPL as well. Add to that the never-say-die attitude and you’ve a wonderful captain,” the former India opener said, quelling all doubts about any difference of opinion with the swashbuckling wicketkeeper batsman.
If the captaincy of Dhoni has left a huge impression on Srikkanth, the peformances of the opening duos of the Indian team (both batting and bowling) have pleased the Chennai maverick no end. “It’s something that happens to best teams in the world historically. The way Ishant-Zaheer and Sehwag-Gambhir have performed in the past few matches have been thoroughly impressive,” he said.
What excites him most is the way the players compliment each other. “I’m sure you have seen Zaheer the way he was helping out Ishant on Sunday. That’s what goes into the making of a good team. Each player stands by the other and the team looks like a well-oiled unit.”
Talking about the Gambhir-Sehwag duo, he said: “They are doing so well both in the Tests and the one-dayers. The understanding between the two is just brilliant.”
With Sachin Tendulkar also available, Chika feels that the Indian team is simply spoilt for choices at the top of the order. “Sachin can combine with anybody. We’ve seen how he batted in the VB Series finals and won it for us in Australia. He was in brilliant form in the Tests too and it’s just a matter of time before he explodes in the ODIs.”
With the team having a perfect balance of youth and experience, does Srikkanth feel his Mission World Cup 2011 is on track?
“We’re well on our way to become the No. 1 team in the world. The World Cup is some distance away, but I feel we have taken the step in the right direction,” Srikkanth predicted brighter days for Indian cricket.

Lakshmi Rai and Dhoni do a dinner date
By Moviebuzz | Friday, 12 December , 2008, 11:07
Finally, Lakshmi Rai and skipper Dhoni concede that they actually are real good friends and might turn lovers in time!
With Dhoni in Chennai again for the India-England test series, can Lakshmi Rai be far behind? The actress had visited Dhoni’s luxury hotel for a dinner with him but was peeved when security officials didn’t let her in.
It was only after Dhoni himself clarified that he had invited her that the girl was allowed in. The actress, who is now in Hyderabad confirms the story and says “We are friends, and we still meet every time he is in town”.
She continues: “We message and talk over the phone. We’re only friends now and I’m his biggest fan. I don’t know if this can blossom into love in the future.”:lol2:

தோழியா! காதலியா! யாரடி நீ பெண்ணே' என்ற பாடல் இன்றைய நிலவரப்படி கனகச்சிதமாக பொருந்துவது நம்ம கிரிக்கெட் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் தோனிக்குத்தான். காரணம், ஒன் டே மேட்ச்சில் சிக்ஸர்களாக விளாசும் தோனி சமீபகாலமாக லட்சுமிராயின் `பந்து வீச்சில்' க்ளீன் போல்டாகியிருக்கும் காதல் பரபரப்புதான். ஒரு சின்ன முன்கதை : சென்ற வருடம் ஐபிஎல் ட்சுகளின் போது தினம் சேப்பாக்கம் மைதானத்துக்கு வந்து தோனியை உற்சாகப்படுத்திய போதே இந்தப் பரபரப்பு துவங்கியது.
அதன் பிறகு இந்த வருடம் இந்த வாரம் நடந்த சம்பவம் ஒன்று...
மும்பை அட்டாக் எல்லோரையும் அலற வைத்ததால் சென்னையிலும் பாதுகாப்புக் கெடுபிடி அதிகமிருந்தது. இதனால் தோனியைப் பார்க்க வந்த லட்சுமிராயை, பாதுகாப்பு கருதி ஹோட்டலுக்குள் அனுமதிக்கவில்லை. இதனால் கொஞ்சம்டென்ஷனான லட்சுமிராய், ``தோனி என்னை டின்னருக்காக அழைத்திருக்கிறார். அவரையே தொடர்பு கொண்டு கேளுங்கள்'' என்றார். தோனியை பாதுகாப்பு அதிகாரிகள் தொடர்பு கொண்டபோது, ``ஆமாம். அவரை உள்ளே வர அனுமதியுங்கள்'' என்று தோனி சொன்னதுமே கூலானார் லட்சுமிராய். தோனி-லட்சுமிராய் விஷயத்தில் உண்மையில் நடப்பது என்ன? ஹைதராபாத்தில் இருந்த லட்சுமிராயுடன் தொடர்பு கொண்டு பேசினோம். உற்சாகமாய் பேசினார். தோனியைப் பற்றி என்பதாலா என்று தெரியவில்லை. எடுத்ததுமே அதிரடி கேள்விதான்.
தோனியுடன் எப்படி உங்களுக்கு நட்பு ஏற்பட்டது?
``சென்னையில் கிரிக்கெட் மேட்ச் நடந்துகொண்டிருந்தபோதுதான் அவரிடம் எனக்குப் பழக்கம் ஏற்பட்டது. நான் அவருடைய தீவிர ரசிகையும் கூட. என்னுடைய பிறந்தநாளை சென்னையிலுள்ள ஒரு நட்சத்திர ஹோட்டலில் கொண்டாடினேன். அப்பொழுது அதே ஹோட்டலில்தான் தோனியும் தங்கியிருந்தார். என்னுடைய பிறந்தநாள் விழாவில் நீங்களும் வந்து கலந்துகொள்ளவேண்டும் என்று தோனியிடம் நட்போடு கேட்டுக்கொண்டேன். அவர் அதற்கு மறுப்பு எதுவும் சொல்லவில்லை. என் பிறந்தநாள் விழாவில் கலந்துகொண்டு என்னை வாழ்த்தினார். நானும் தோனியும் நல்ல நண்பர்களாகி தற்போது ஒரு வருடம் ஆகிறது.''
சமீபத்தில் மீண்டும் சென்னையில் ஹோட்டலில் தங்கியிருந்த தோனியைச் சென்று பார்த்தீர்களா?
``ஆமாம். நட்பு முறையில் அவர் என்னை டின்னருக்கு அழைத்து இருந்தார். ஹோட்டலுக்குச் சென்றபோது பலத்த செக்யூரிட்டி பாதுகாப்பு இருந்தது. என் வருகையை தோனிக்குத் தெரிவிக்க போலீஸாரிடம் கூறினேன். பிறகு தோனியைச் சென்று பார்த்தேன்.''
தோனி சென்னைக்கு வரும்போதெல்லாம் அவரை நீங்கள் தனியே சந்திக்க விரும்புவது போலத் தெரிகிறதே?
``சென்னைக்கு வரும்போது, நான் சென்னையில் இருந்தால் அவரைச் சந்திப்பது வழக்கம். மற்ற நேரங்களில் போனில் பேசிக் கொள்வோம்.''
இந்திய அணியில் எத்தனையோ இளம் கிரிக்கெட் வீரர்கள் இருக்கும்போது தோனிமட்டும் நண்பராகக் காரணம்?
``இந்திய அணியிலுள்ள கிரிக்கெட் வீரர்களில் முக்கால்வாசிப் பேரை எனக்கு நன்கு தெரியும். இருந்தாலும் தோனியைப் பிடித்ததற்குப் பல காரணங்கள் உண்டு. கேப்டனாக இருந்தும்கூட எந்தவிதமான பந்தாவோ, தலைக்கனமோ இல்லாமல், சிரித்த முகத்தோடு இருக்கிற ஜென்டில்மேன்.''
தற்போது உங்கள் இருவருக்கிடையில் ஏற்பட்டிருக்கும் உறவை என்னவென்று சொல்வது?
``நாங்கள் இருவரும் சிறந்த நண்பர்கள். அவ்வளவுதான் சொல்லமுடியும்.''
உங்களுக்கிடையேயான இந்த நட்பு காதலாக மாறாதா?
``காதல் என்பது தும்மல் மாதிரி. எப்போது வரும் எப்படி வரும் என்று சொல்ல முடியாது. காதல் என்கிற பந்துவீச்சில் தோனி க்ளீன் போல்டாகிவிட்டார் என்று சிலர் கமெண்ட் அடிப்பதாக கேள்விப்பட்டேன். உண்மையைச் சொல்லவேண்டுமென்றால் தோனி என்னுடைய தலைசிறந்த பெருமைக்குரிய நண்பர் அவ்வளவுதான்'' என்று சிம்பிளாகப் பேசி முடித்தார் லட்சுமிராய்.
காதலா, நட்பா என்று எடுக்கப்படும் குழப்பமான தமிழ் சினிமாவைப் போல் இருப்பதுதான் தோனி - லட்சுமிராய்உறவின் இன்றைய நிலை. அது தமிழ் நாட்டுப் புயல் போல் எந்த நேரமும் எந்தப் பக்கமும் கரையை கடக்கலாம்..
