- M.S DHONI (Captain and Wicket-Keeper)
Indeed so. One must possess the patience of an ox to match the competence of Dhoni in everyday business if not on the cricket field. From being pushed up against the wall to bouncing back the way he did truly exemplifies the perpetual spirit of this man. At a juncture when people were betting on whether he should step aside or not, the Indian limited overs skipper took just three games to hush the mounting howls of the critics. His 11* off 3 balls in the first T20I was a fitting reply to the detractors who had been proclaiming that the ‘finisher’ had himself ‘finished’. He also got his name etched on the record books by affecting the maximum number of stumpings in the history of international cricket when he surpassed Kumar Sangakkara’s feat of 138 stumpings in the 2nd T20I at the MCG. Dhoni is making a constant endeavour to remodel his outlook on his game. Yes, his role in the team might have remained unaltered but what has certainly undergone a metamorphosis is his approach towards it. The series winning captain thereby has the honour to lead this side boasting of eleven brilliant individuals.
