Chetan Sharma blames Dhoni for India’s omission from the World T20 – Cricket News Update
Disappointed after India’s exit from the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chetan-Sharma-c50579, the former Indian fast bowler, has raised question marks over Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy in their last Super 8 encounter against South Africa.
Having posted 152 runs on the board after being put in to bat by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-de-Villiers-c887, the Men in Blue needed to restrict the Proteas to 121 or less to qualify for the semi-finals. South Africa lost the match by one run but not before throwing India out of the
competition.
Some of the wicketkeeper/batsman’s moves in the match baffled the cricket experts as he bowled his part-timers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lakshmipathy-Balaji-c72130; hence, releasing pressure from the opposition
batsmen.
India’s overall performance in the tournament was not bad, winning four out of their five encounters. The former fast bowler however, believes that the Men in Blue had a great chance to make it to the last four but Dhoni’s defensive leadership led to the
team’s downfall in the event.
"I think the entire team should not be blamed for the exit. Only Dhoni is to be blamed. He should accept his responsibility and stop blaming rain (for India`s ouster)," said the former cricketer.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 was omitted
from the playing-11 once again.
Sharma expressed that Harbhajan’s presence against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 would have made the difference, with the pitch assisting the slow bowlers. However, Dhoni preferred to go in with seven specialist batsmen once again, further weakening an already impotent bowling
attack.
"Seeing Harbhajan not playing such an important match was shocking and depressing as well. A bowler who has over 400 Test wickets shouldn`t have been left out of the team," Chetan added. "If his horses for courses policy is to be implemented then Harbhajan
should have made it into the team."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s next assignment in international cricket is the Test series against England, which starts next month.
