Letter to Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Dear MS Dhoni,
Captain- Team India.

I hope atleast yesterday's match, vs Australia will be an eye opener for you. I would like to point out some issues I spotted from that match.

1. Rohit Sharma's inclusion in final XI.

You called him as an extra batsmen. He deserves better position than that. He is one of the finest fielders. He is a classy act. He along with Raina makes a perfect 3rd and 4th position. As a captain you should stand by your palyers. If you think he has enough talent, give him more chances,d defiantly he will turn in to an asset on long run. one good example is Yuvaraj and Sehwag. look at their careers in the beginning and the kind of encouragement they got from Sourav. Now they can win match on their own.

2. Role of Ravindra Jadeja:

Is he a batting all-rounder or bowling all-rounder or genuine spinner??

>> if he is a batting all-rounder what is he doing at no8. To be at that position he needs to clear boudnaries more often. Is he of such caliber?? Get him to the top ahead of yuvaraj and yousuf and try, that can work out.

>> If bowling all rounder, there are many who can bowl better than what he is doing now. Yuvaraj, Raina and Rohit can easily bowl 6 overs in minimum wht ever kind of pitch it is. So it is waste of poistion.

>> If he is in for bowling alone, Amit mishra, Ojha or chawla can be in final XI. Irfan is the genuine all-rounder who can be in ahead of Ravindra Jadeja.

3. Inclusion of Vijay ahead of Dinesh Karthik:

This is a tournament of high pressure as it is a world cup. we need to have batsmen with good experience. Vijay has never faced international class bowlers that too on a bouncy tracks. Karthik is in a good form and also he suits gambhir as a partner bcoz they are working as a team for 3 years now. They know each other very well. And also he can keep wickets or a good fielder.

What is the role of senior players like Yuvaraj, Harbajhan in the team??

When Jadeja is taking pasting from Aussie bastmen, what is Yuvaraj and Harbajhan doing?? It is their duty to run to him and give advice and some suggestions to improve, because it is a team not Jadeja's performance. If sehwag is there on the field, definetely he will run to him to boost his confidence and will help him in that situation.

This is not good as a team. You need to take care of youngsters in the team.




Dear Mr Cool, dont get blinded by success..




Regards,

Kartheek Sanka.
