MS Dhoni has changed the fortunes of Indian cricket says Michael Atherton – Cricket News Update
Former England captain, Michael Atherton, was all praise for the Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820, and said that Dhoni is a leader of immense abilities and has changed the fortunes of Indian cricket.
Dhoni was appointed as the Indian captain for the inaugural http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. Since then, he has taken Indian cricket to new heights as the country has become the number one ranked Test team of the world.
Apart from that, he led India to success in the T20 world cup in 2007 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in the sub-continent.
On top his national achievements, Dhoni has also helped his franchise, Chennai Super Kings, to win two consecutive editions of the Indian Premier League and the previous Champions League T20.
Atherton, who is presently a cricket commentator, feels that Dhoni has achieved great heights in a very http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107 span of time.
The former English Captain said, "Dhoni's record as captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, and as captain of the Chennai Super Kings, is remarkable and it marks him out as a leader of surprising and substantial talents. He has led India to the top of the world
Test rankings, to the World Cup and inaugural World Twenty20, as well as leading CSK to two Indian Premier League titles and a Champions League crown."
Dhoni is currently leading the Indian team in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and company in a much-awaited Test series, which begins from July 21, 2011.
The wicketkeeper/batsman has surely changed the fortunes of Indian cricket as the ‘Men in Blue’ were never considered a force outside home. However, this is not the case anymore as the Indian team has emerged as a huge power in recent times.
Atherton is a great fan of Dhoni and the way he approaches the game in an aggressive manner.
“With his bottom-handed biffing technique and penchant for stealing the limelight by, for example, riding a motorcycle around the outfield at the conclusion of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Norman-George-Cowans-c79920 in an Indian pan,” Atherton
added.
