Won’t run from responsibility that’s upon us insists MS Dhoni – Cricket News Update
Despite throwing the ball onto the selectors’ court following his side’s convincing loss against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, has insisted that he is the man to lead the side out of the current slump.
"As a leader this is a challenge thrown at me," Dhoni said. "It is always good to lead a side when you are performing well. That is not the time you need a leader. Leading a side is all about when the team is not doing well. To try to gel the team together. To back the youngsters, back the seniors. Try to move in the right direction."
Dhoni’s said these words soon after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 suffered another defeat at the hands of the touring English contingent, their first consecutive losses in well over a decade. The win allows the Poms to take a 2-1 lead in the series, further speeding their opponent’s soul searching process.
Having become one of his country’s most successful captains early last year, Dhoni’s demise has also been swift, and an upcoming loss in the final Test could indeed prove consequential.
After winning the 2011 World Cup, and sitting pretty at the top of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in respective four-match Test series last year, and came out second best in all 8 bouts.
The ODI performances gave them some respite, but they still failed to defend their Asia Cup crown, and further bowed out from the World T20 before the knock-out phase.
The current series was looked upon as India’s way to return the favours, but as it stands, it is Dhoni, whose once unquestionable leadership has come under scrutiny. The skipper nonetheless, is confident of turning around his team’s fortunes.
"The easiest thing to do for me right now is to quit the captaincy and stay part of the side. That's running away from responsibility that's upon us. Of course there are others who will decide. There is BCCI and other administrative people who look into that. For me, my responsibility is to get the team together."
