  Is Dhoni responsible for India's exit from T20 world cup?
Share this debate
 
Even before India's defence for the T20 world cup had began, chinks were already visible in Indian armour. First of all came the reports of rift between skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virendra Sehwag. Next Dhoni picked a fight with India media, which was followed by shocking revelation of Sehwag's shoulder injury and subsequent return. While all this can be forgiven, when the team wins, but Team India once again proved spineless in the face of pace and the short balls in the crucial match against England. Was it poor captaincy on part of Dhoni, who chose Ravinder Jadeja ahead of Pragyan Ojha and promoted him up in the batting order. Or was it the combined failure of the entire team, which forced India out of the tournament?

Yes, afcourse dhoni is responsible for everything happened.He was overconfident.The great & the biggest mistake is that he replaced yuvraj by Ravinder Jadeja.............
Lekhana : Jun 22, 2009
yes, dhoni is responsible for india exit
syed junaid : Jun 21, 2009
Dhoni is the only man who should be held responsible for the lose in T20world cup. Coz he is overconfident & busy getting tied up with his ads.

Mr.Dhoni had made many mistakes right through the series and his current from also contributed for exit of indian team from t20 world cup. He is not up to the mark with both bat and with gloves, he came at number three and has bockdown in 3 matches not able to rotate the strike or hit big ones when required. and with the gloves he was extra ordinary not able to pick up throw from the fielders. mainly due to him not taking right dicision at right time india is out of the T20 world Cup. in my opinion i think Dhoni should be given rest for the upcoming Windies Tour and a young member like Gautam or Bhajji should be the captian of indian team. Who Has very cool head on his shoulders.
Chetan Patel : Jun 19, 2009
due to lack of proper judgement after winning the toss, Dhoni has choosen fielding and selecting players on 3rd down during batting period resulting to loose of the game.
Babulal Seth : Jun 17, 2009
ya dhoni make this mistake from a long time after some break .his dicision is not good in last moments so we want to say plz take out mr. dhoni from indian team for 5 and 6 match. and don't give the captain ship for a long time, this responsible should be given to yuvraj singh.
devendra pal : Jun 17, 2009
yes dhoni is responsible for india come out from t20 match.becouse he give the chance of ishant sharma and ravindra jadeja in place of irfan pathand and p.ojha.
sarvjeet : Jun 17, 2009
Yes.
sudhir : Jun 17, 2009
adi : Jun 17, 2009
yes he is only responsible.
adi : Jun 17, 2009
Dhoni has failed as a Captain / Leader as well player. Team selection was poor as well field strategy was missing. Dhoni was batting worst than the bowler/tailenders.
Vinod : Jun 17, 2009
harijith bhai kis duniya mein rahte hain. Only dhoni is responsilbe for ICC t20 exit. His poor captaincy and batting caused to india defeat. He should be now kept out of the team.
rajiv tensionable : Jun 17, 2009
dhoni is responsible
shanawaz kahan : Jun 16, 2009
Yes, Dhoni is responsible for India's defeat. Dhoni's fault and his bad captaincy cost India the most important match, He was over confident, he was cheater.
Romi : Jun 16, 2009
Yes Dhoni is the one person who is responsible for India's Bad performance in the T20 WC.He was over confident and due to which India suffered.In the match against English player he has done major mistakes like not to complete RP singh's quota of 4 overs,Over confidence on Ishant Sharma,Sending Jadeja before Yuvi .Yuvi is the only player who is striking the ball very hard in this tournament but he was just the spectator till the comletion of 11 Overs.When captain came he was struggling to hit the balls even struggling for singles.I thought these are the major mistakes which cannot be tolerated in the even in domestic matches.I hope he will concentrate on his game rather than involving in media controversies and earning money from Advertizements.He should realise that he is not playing cricket for making money but playing it for the proud of country and it's one billion cricket crazy peoples.It's really very disheartening to see that Indian team was looking lazy in fielding,bowling & batting in most part of the tournament.How person like Dhoni make such type of silly mistakes.

Arun Sharma : Jun 16, 2009
yes. Nothing more to say!
Deepak Dogra : Jun 16, 2009
Yes, Dhoni is responsible for India's defeat. His attitude was selfish. He did not give chance to others in practice matches. He was never comfortable in hitting 4's & 6's and is no more suited for 20-20 matches. I think he has lost his Cricketing common sense and need to take rest from Cricket and Advertisements.
Nitin : Jun 15, 2009
It was only and only Dhoni's fault and his bad captaincy cost India the most important match. He should understand that everytime luck wont work. This time it was over confidence,arrogance and bad captainship, nothing else. I still fail to understand why did he send Jadeja ahead of everyone.

i think tht the entire indian team is responsible for this. A captain only can make some changes but the other batsman should perform their duty either they are bowler or batsman. Captian will not handle their bat or ball on the ground. He can only give some clues to them. If he does not give a chance to Jadeja or RP singh. how we can figure out the situation. Dhoni has done one mistake tht he did out to Irfan Pathan in last two matches. i think he deserve to play instead of Ishant Sharma.
Raw : Jun 21, 2009
i totally disagree with it
nav : Jun 21, 2009
Its really gr88 to see people, giving their opinions abt weather they should bat first or ball, If india would have won the match then NOO qs.. every one will say.. very gud decisiion,, very gud experiment.. And suddenly things changes when we lost the match.. and 10000 new opinions.. We can say its a bad day for INDIA, nothing else.. We can say why not rohit sharma, gautam played well.. why yuvraj played a silly shot.. So, u can make many qs out of this.. Blaming sumone is not the right move.. and that too in this Cricket match where SA beat australia chasing a score of 430 approx.. So, nothing can be sure.. many times experiments works and many time not.. But we r very luck as most of the time, experiments worked for us.. Jai hind
Piyush Rawat : Jun 17, 2009
Well, its gr88 to see people, giving all blames.. that he had done sum experiments and they all failed.. And these are those people, who were very happy .. when hos experiments ver sucessful. Why people havent raised any Qs when his all experiments are successful.. Is he a GOD to give 100% accuracys in all his experiments. Its a game we win and we loose.. I guess most of the time his experiments were sucessful.. Well anyone said. he is over confidence,, now how can u say that???.. their is a very thin line between confidence and over confidence,, i guess sending jadeja is okay.. he made.. 25 in 34 balls, and give sum break in the falling wickets.. I agree at last dhoni was slow and he didnt played his natural game, but might be players are throwing gud line balls.. Its not like.. dhoni is responsible,, And he is always famous for that experiments and they worked most of the time also... if now it flow then we can consider this.. rather then throwing rockcts on him.. tk care jai hind
