http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s former captain and legendary batsman, Sunil Gavaskar has expressed full faith in Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership skills and feels that the wicketkeeper/batsman should be given a free hand till 2019.
Dhoni was appointed as the captain of the Men in Blue for the first time in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jharkhand-c800 did not disappoint and helped India clinch the title. He also led India to the status of the number one ranked
Test team of the world, apart from winning the ICC World T20 2011 at home.
However, over the last 18 months, the performance of the Indian team has been miserable at times, losing a number of Test series as well as their crown of the Asian champions, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
After losing the Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 at home late last year, there was immense criticism on Dhoni’s captaincy, with a number of former Test cricketers raising their concerns over the keeper’s lackluster approach.
Dhoni and company however, have bounced back strongly in the on-going four-match series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, comprehensively winning the first two fixtures.
The former skipper, who is considered to be one of the best batsman produced by the country, said that Dhoni seems to have improved a lot in the current series. Gavaskar thinks that wicketkeeper/batsman has been a lot more proactive in the series against
the Kangaroos.
“He has changed positively as a captain. Now, if a player is not attentive and not up to the mark, Dhoni is letting him know," Gavaskar said while talking to NDTV. “He is not making too many gestures but he is making the player
know that he is not happy.”
Gavaskar is so much confident about Dhoni that he wants the selectors to give him a free hand for the next two 50-overs World Cups.
“With the changed leadership approach I think he should not be disturbed till the 2019 World Cup,” he added. “Dhoni has recharged and he is in great batting form, though he needs to tighten up a bit in his wicket-keeping.”
