Hi Friends, The Indian team has been in an excellent form.They continue to play with their great efforts and they work as a team.Most of the matches that they have won is due to Player's performance.Some of the wins came only because of a particular player contributing to the game under pressure situations. Now my question is Does the Indian team win with their Player's performances or with the Indian Skipper Dhoni's intelligence and Tactics? What are your views regarding this?

I would say it's mixture of caption's intelligence and player's performance and just the either of these. Planning is a crucial par of any game and it's not the only thing to win the match, you have to have a good plan and then implement it for the best results. I believe caption Dhoni has the ability to plan and impliment it with the help of players. He alone can not win the match but a team effort is always that turn positive.

Hi Ajay, I agree with you that the team is a mixture of caption's intelligence and player's performance.Of course,planning is the crucial part of every game and if you don't plan well them you might fell yourself on the hands of losing.The captain should be heading the team with his intelligence and his tactics.Dhoni has so far some his job wonderfully.But his recent batting form in tests has been not well.He is not taking the responsibility of the batting order because of the presence of the senior batsmen.Hope the Indian team continue their form. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.

As long as team wins, it's ok if Dhoni does not scor ewell. ultimately team should win. I hope on the same line, thank you for sharing.

He has done well after taking break from the ODI series against New Zealand.India was struggling at first test match against South Africa.Only Dhoni and Sachin made some impressive performances in both the innings.Hope they will do the same in the rest of the series. Have a happy day.

Hi, I think Indian team is in good form, and Dhoni has a very good luck. whatever he does it goes into his favor. Many time you would have listened to the commentators saying that dhoni should do this but he did this and in last hey praise him for what he did. Dhoni is definitely a very very brilliant captain. Others don't understand him sometimes that is why he is captain not others. It will be wrong to give whole credit to the captain for winning the matches. It is the hard work and dedication of individuals that make the team win. Remember Bhajji(Harbhajjan S.). So there is nothing more to say. Thank you

Hi Sanjay, Indian team has been in good form so far.Their batsmen and bowlers continue to give their best.They have been playing with lots of contribution and understanding between players.They encourage the other young players and keep the momentum of the team going.Dhoni has been failing with his bat in recent series.He has not yet passed his half century.It had been a long time seeing to score a half century in test cricket.He has so far not given his best captain innings.Hope the Indian team continue their form. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.

It is due to Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S.Laxman, Zaheer Khan, Sehwag and Rahul Dravid. Indian captain is so luck that what ever he does turns out to be a big success. Against the Australians, Laxman and Ishant Sharma combined into a lovely partnership and won the test match for India. Dhoni is capability as captain showing a glaring one in second and third editions of ICC T20 World Cups. Where the team did not have likes of Tendulkar, Laxman and mainly Sehwag. Team is depending a lot on Sehwag in the top. Yuvi's bad run too is not helping well for Indian in T 20 World Cups. Dhoni's batting too is not doing any wonders these days.. May be doing wicket keeping and captaincy and batting might be too much for him. What ever, I can more from Dhoni as batsmen rather than a just ok wicket keeper and luck captain.

Hi Madhu, The Indian's team most senior players are also responsible for most of the test wins that India have secured.Dhoni is really a lucky captain because even if he losses the toss he can work out his plan and make it success.It is always difficult for a player to work on three fields.Dhoni needs to do batting,keeping and also captaincy.He should be mainly concentrating on only his captaincy.Because tactics are very important for winning a match.Hope the Indian team continue their form in international cricket. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.

According to my view both these player performance and skipper vigilance is purely dependent to each other. Because with the lack of any one of it we can't achieve the victory means if the skipper has good planning and strategy but doesn't have the player who will do the task is useless and vice versa. For every team the blend of these two things is essence for success.

Hi Guru, Winning a match depend upon the contribution and understanding of the players.All the players should contribute and encourage the young players.Even if a player mistakes,the other players should encourage him but instead so many skipper criticize their players.We can often see this sort of things in the Pakistan team.You are right,the two essences for success are very important for a team to secure a win.The Skipper is the main head of the team who goes out with certain plans and tactics. Have a happy day.

I feel both coz of tactics and talents. As, we know theres always ups and downs . sometimes we win and we also loose. It is not possible for a team to keep winning matches continusly. But the Indian team record in test matches shows that we are no1 test team in the world. I love my country India . I love cricket and indian cricket team .

Hi Head, I agree with you that both tactics and talents are important for a team to win a match.You are also right.Winning a match adds glory but lose makes to realize the mistakes.The Indian team have been in good form in test cricket.Dhoni's performance in test cricket has not been satisfactory as he is failing continuously with his bat.He don't takes care of his captain innings and he just allows the senior players to take charge.If senior players fail,then also he is not giving his best with his bat.His tactics and plans have been excellent so far.Hope the Indian team continue their form. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.

i think the indian team is winning because of different players contributing to different situations during the game play. like harbhajan saved the last match, other players contributed in different matches. so the main reason is the players contributing the role of skipper is not so relevant.

Hi Bhav, You are right.All the players contribute when the team needs them.Especially they perform under big pressure.It is one of the secrets for the Indian team for continuing their winning test from in cricket.The skipper should play the main part of his team innings.I have not seen Dhoni giving his captain knock recently.His tactics and intelligence are excellent.But he needs to improve with his bat.Union is strength.All the players should understand themselves and play their part superbly in the game and lead their team to paths of victory. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.

In cricket, unlike in many other games, the contribution of captain in winning or loosing is substantial. Skipper in cricket has to perform a key role of handling the ballers, field placements, batting order ----- captain also is responsible for the upliftment of the spirit of the player. All these aspects contribute a fair deal in winning or loosing of a team and Dhoni has performed reasonably well on that front. He has also made some glaring mistakes but those can be overlooked. The most important part that decides the performance of the team is the quality of the players. If the players are not good enough however good the captain may be team can not perform well.

Hi Divkar, Winning a match depends upon a team's performance and contribution for the game.First there should be unity between the players.Unity is Strength.If there is no understanding then it will be difficult for them to play as a team.In the current form,Indian team seem to have good understanding between players itself.Players are contributing for every game.A captain is the head of the team who plans and leads the team to victory path.The main feature of the skipper is to select the right playing eleven even if key players are injured.So far,Dhoni has done good selection of players in the absence of some key players.He also corrects the mistakes of team and try well in their next match.Hope they would continue their test form. Thanks for your comment.Have a happy day.
