Dhoni "THE SELFISH ARROGANT CREDIT STEALER"

This article is from my Heart. The Title may look strange, but in this country, this title would make a small proportion interested, rather than giving some titles in praise for Dhoni. Dhoni may be the most Popular cricketer after Sachin in this country, but one thing is sure, Even though Dhoni lies second to master in likes, in dislikes he is far ahead than the master. They are very few in number, but they who continuously haunts him, troll him, abuse him. That very few even wished India to lose, just see Dhoni's head down. But unfortunately, Captain Cool always treat those people or media as those three dogs in his house. Am not here to Worship Dhoni, or to go through the milestones he achieved. We watched him, we know him, so there is no need to go through his journey and if I do Words won't be enough to describe that.  There were nearly 453 captains in cricket, but only one won all the three ICC Trophies. ICC T20 WORLD CUP,50 OVER WORLD CUP, CHAMPIONS TROPHY, NO.1 IN TEST...

Even today I Believe, even after burying all those hopes I Believe, unlike the former visits this series were really tough for home side. Apart From the Second test, Indians were never out of the context. I would say this is the best Indian Pace attack that visited England. 287,180,396,317,161,271,246;- The Bowlers really gave their 100%. Taking 67 wickets out of 70,never allowing a good batting home side to reach 500 or 600 is really an achievement. But Still we lost. How and Why? The difference between both the sides were When Indians had Sessions,England had days. And Test Cricket is all about Days. For me the Player of the Series is Sam Curran,followed by Jos Butler and Ben Stokes. I think the...
