Why MS Dhoni has lot of Haters in his own Country? Decoding the Myths and Fallacies
They are widely called as “Haters”. And what is more, surprising is that those haters are not from Pakistan or any other hostile country but from India.
Myth#4: Dhoni lost too many Tests overseas. He is a poor Test captain:
While making this accusation haters often forget that it was under Dhoni that India reached the number 1 spot in Test rankings. Moreover, in all those overseas tours the team collectively failed as a unit. The batsmen were lack luster with their performances the bowlers were uninspiring and Dhoni too wasn’t that great with the bat in those overseas tours. But to single out Dhoni and make him the scapegoat sounds unfair.
And also, tell me which Indian captain did well overseas in tests? Azharuddin? Ganguly? Sachin? Dravid? No one. Dhoni has a better win percentage overall than any other Indian captain(48%). Of course it is true that Dhoni isn’t as good a test captain as in limited overs cricket, but he acknowledged that and retired from the format abruptly as soon as he saw a young Virat Kohli rise in the ranks and that he was prepared enough to take lead from him and carry Indian cricket into the future.
