Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes in destiny with a pinch of hard work. India's man of the moment attributes the fabulous Twenty20 World Cup win to the team's destiny.
"Whatever is destined to happen will happen. It is not just my own destiny, it was the destiny of the whole team --but I believe unless you do your required hard work you don't achieve it", he said.
Dhoni took just a fortnight to prove his mettle as the captain and if the World Cup performance is anything to go by, India has found its 'Captain Cool' in the star batsman-stumper with flowing tresses.
The 26-year-old Dhoni's maturity and composure in pressure cooker situations and his shrewd captaincy stood out in both the matches against Pakistan, as also in the semifinal against Australia.
After the group match with Pakistan ended in a tie, Dhoni asked Robin Uthappa, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh to take the bowl-out, resting his tired pacers. Dhoni anticipated such situations and had done the homework.
His opposite number Shoaib Malik was at sea and after India won the bowl-out 3-0 to maintain its clean slate against Pakistan in World Cup, Malik admitted he had no clue about it.
In the match against Australia too, Dhoni showed tremendous courage. He took a calculated gamble by asking unheralded Joginder Sharma to bowl the last over.
Teammates warned him that the Haryana all-rounder's military pace would make him an easy meat for the Aussies but Dhoni felt it would be difficult to score off Joginder's pace, or rather lack of it, and the captain stood vindicated in the end as Australia eventually lost by 15 runs.
It was the same story last night. Pakistan needed 13 runs off the last over and Dhoni again tossed the ball to Joginder.
Misbah-ul-Haq was going great guns and he hit Joginder for a six to reduce the gap but the Indian did the trick again as Misbah scooped to perish, finding S Sreesanth at short fine leg. Once again, Dhoni had outsmarted his rivals and it was as much India's win as it was for Dhoni's leadership skills.
Dhoni loves life in the fast lane, something evident from his penchant for fast bikes, and it's hardly surprising that within three years, the affable swashbuckler rose from the obscurity of Jharkhand to lead India to Twenty20 World Cup glory.
I Rate Him As the Best Captain Of INDIA,Even Though The Team Is Responsible For This Kind Of Victorious Path ,BUT The Captain Is the Main Pillar For All !!!!!!!
