Mahendra singh dhoni , the new immortalalized icon of indian india cricket or for that matter, india as country, is an model of any youngster, more so for an MBA aspirant .my PDP teacher told me "if you have it in you to become a good cricketer then you can easily be a good manager".he was stressing on the similarity of traits that separate great cricketers or managers from good ones.dhoni may may never please the purists with his batting technique,but he has the record as a player and more so as captain that he needn't care about them.he emerged into the scene in 2004 when most of this world cup wiinning team members had become stalwarts in their own right.there was the maverick dasher Sehwag,to the party animal Yuvraj and the larger than life Tendulkar , not to forgot the god of techical correctness Dravid and the passing titan sourav Ganguly .7 years down the line he commands the respect and admiration of all of them.
His attitude and the courage to take risks has led him to this pinnacle from where every other success looks just a petty thing. Only in his late twenties he has crossed every milestone, a cricketer can even think of as a captain. A heartiest salutation to the best cricketing mind till date..............
ReplyDelete@ ravs sure man he is a achiever ,with an exemplary clear thought process (remember his interview after the World Cup final) and what Gary Kirsten would call 'not so indian' emotional intelligence:)
ReplyDeleteThe major positive and his strength is that he never seems to have panic. His decision making, especially in crucial situations is outstanding... You noticed one thing??? He never shouts @ the bowler if he is getting the stick.... This is just 1 of the many plus points of his attitude.... Long live Mr.D... :-)
ReplyDelete@ Amandeep . Cool head is the biggest asset of a captain. Everyone in the field is constantly looking at him. His attitude sets the tone for the rest of the team. Nothing can be more discouraging to the team than to see the captain loose hope or his composure.
