When England team came to India in November, it was being sad that they would be beaten here black and blue but their skipper showed the way to his fellow team mates. The same spirit Dhoni is showing in ODI. Chips are down and Dhoni is showing way to team India with his gutsy batting performances. Dhoni stats are great. As I have always said India needs more Dhoni.. Captains of both team are showing way to their beleaguered team mates.

Hi Anilhclites,
When the things are down the leader has to show the guts to his boys and thats what exactly British captain did. He showed that with application they can beat us in our game on our soil. Indian captain has been fighting lonly battle for some time now. I hope it rubs to others as well.

Anil.
Many females watch the matches these days , it can be easily seen the amount of girls in stands. But about the discussions it is because my friends agrim, asweetie and I reply to same discussions mostly, so if I reply to any I would forward the link to both and same way they would. We are usually online same time so we have fun seeing what other said

At present the Indian captain plays a vital role in the past some matches. He had lead team the India to reach at the limits. At vital conditions he gave great hopes or survival to the team India. His presence was significant and this could surely vanish all the rumors about the poor performance on his batting.

Nobody has played such great cricket as MS Dhoni in ODIs for India. Not even Sachin when he was in purple patch during 1990s. Dhoni comes when team India is tottering and plays magic innings time and again. Beven and Hussey has played like that. So Dhoni is on the very top of the list as far as ODI are concerned. In coming matches, I think Yuvraj, Rania and Kohli are going to play some great knocks. Because each one of them is seeking confidence from Dhoni.

Anil,
The big difference in English team and our team is that no one treat them like Gods while even one match players are treated like gods in India. And it does go in their heads and they forget what they are in ground for. Their captain showed way and rest of team applied themselves, but here captain has been showing way for such a long time and rest are not applying. Eg. gambhir getting bold time and again on same shot and Virat getting out on such an arrogant shot in last ODI

You can say that Virat did get out by playing a rash shot but there was no one where he was intended to play that shot. Virat next century is not very far and Yuvraj, Raina has shown that are very near to reach their form. Dhoni stupendous form has inspired many players and their body language is looking good. It's not going to be easy for England to win this series.

MS Dhoni is completely a different person in ODIs. He becomes much more mature person than he was in tests. In the last match India is in trouble after losing four vital wickets but he makes sure that team will reach a good total by building crucial partnerships with Raina and Jadeja. And even if he was on non strikers end, he continued to guide these two players. He knows how to play with controlled aggression. I hope he will continue this great show in next games also.

He revels in ODI. He is a great batsman in ODI - Ganguly. He is the best ODI batsman India has ever seen. I became a fan of Dhoni in 2008 during Srilanka tour. India test team under Kumble went to Srilanka for a test series and Dhoni asked for a rest. So India team traveled without Dhoni. All Indians great fell to Murali and Mendis and only Sehwag had played beautifully. India lost the series and than came ODIs. Sachin Sehwag Ganguly and Laxman all left the team. Dhoni along with young brigade triumphed in Srilanka. MS Dhoni showed how to play Mendis and Murali to Indian seniors. I had never expected to win that series but Dhoni charisma did it.
I think this series, India is going to win 3-2.
