Some1 Bhai, I remember your thoughts on Dhoni well, when he first started playing in Dravid's team. You were pushing for Parthiv Patel and felt that Dhoni's added weight will cause him to face some concerns in keeping. Some of his unorthodoxy was related to Afridi in some ways that he plays his shots. But he has come a long way from being under a great captain to creating a league of his own. Dhoni has been a great team player for India and furthermore, he has a well command in English, in his pre-match conferences and post-match interviews, he has given interviews on behalf of other teammates when they were unable to speak properly. A team nourishes well under the captain who is charismatic and knows how to gel together without creating the senior/junior gap in the team. Looking at Indian team from outside, I don't see any bridge that needs to be filled. All are considered as much as a part of the team as the team's success. India has given chances to new blood and they have come well, making it's bench strength quite strong. The partnership of BCCI and IPL have performed above expectations in creating new stars and keeping the scene of the cricket fresh with young players.
