Dhoni's ability should not be questioned after one defeat, says Harbhajan Singh – Cricket News Update
The Indian off-break bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 faced one of the worst defeats at the hands of the Englishmen on their home soil, earlier this week. The experienced bowler feels Dhoni should not be questioned
after just one bad outing.
“Winning and losing is a part of the game and players and captain like Dhoni, should not be criticised for just losing a single game,” said Harbhajan while talking to media this Wednesday.
Having secured an ecstatic win against the visitors at Ahmadabad, India was ruthlessly defeated in the second Test at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai by 10-wickets. Having the pitch prepared according to his own desires, Dhoni was made to have a taste of his own
medicine when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 rattled the Indian batting line up for a low total in their second innings.
Facing the music ever since, Dhoni was questioned not only for his position as the Indian captain, but as a batsman as well. Scoring just one century since February 2010, Mr Cool took it out on the umpires earlier this week in light of a few debatable decisions
made during the two games.
Despite the poor run of the team under his captaincy in Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, losing 8-0, Harbhajan feels, “We should not forget that Dhoni is the same captain who won us the first World Cup after 1983 triumph. He is one of the best
rated captains in the country. By losing just a single match, one should not raise questions at his ability.”
India has only won three Test matches outside Asia under Dhoni's leadership. However, defending the captain, Harbhajan had full faith in his team and feels the side will fight back strongly in the third encounter at Eden Gardens Kolkata.
When asked over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s poor show with the bat, Harbhajan said, “My wish is that he should keep playing for the country. His presence gives an edge to the team. Kolkata has always remained one of Sachin's favourite venues and I am hopeful that
he will silence his critics with a brilliant knock there.”
