MS Dhoni: ‘There will come a time when we will lose, irrespective of whether it happens this World Cup, next World Cup or four World Cups down the line’ © Getty Images It is a run that started nearly 23 years ago, in Sydney in March 1992, when India beat Pakistan in the first World Cup meeting between the two neighbours. There have been five more such encounters since, and India wrapped up their sixth straight World Cup win over Pakistan last night at Adelaide Oval. It is a perplexing blank across multiple eras for Pakistan, considering their strong overall record against India.
At the post-match press conference, a blank-faced Misbah-ul-Haq, who had made yet another fighting half-century in a losing cause against MS Dhoni’s men, was asked if he could explain the reason behind 0-6. “I don’t know. This is happening. You can’t do anything about that,” was all the disappointed Pakistan captain could offer.
Dhoni said that it was obviously something for India to be proud of, but he refused to read too much into the trend, holding that it was bound to end at some edition of the World Cup some day, and that Pakistan were a “fantastic side.”
“The record is good, but it is something that I don’t want to get into because there will come a time when we will lose, irrespective of whether it happens this World Cup, next World Cup or four World Cups down the line,” Dhoni said. "It is not something that will stay until the world exists. No point in really thinking about it.
“Yes, we are proud of the fact that we have done it, but if you just see the stats, India-Pakistan stats, we are way behind when it comes to that. They have really dominated. I feel definitely the World Cup is something that we can, to some extent, be proud of, but overall you have to see, they are a fantastic side. They don’t have the kind of players that they had, but still, if you see from a talent point, they’ve got good fast bowlers.”

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Yes. I read that in cricket info. Pretty down to earth.

Still doesn't stop me from calling him Dot Ball Dhoni.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Ask any Indian and they will point to 6-0 to hide their overall embarrassment of 72-51 record which is in favour of Pakistan.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

6-0 > 72-51

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

But of course

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Which begs the question.- why is Pakistan so dominant in one day vs india.

Also does this dominance extend to Test cricket.

The WC anamoly is easily explained. Not enough matches played. So stats can be skewed.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

He is best ODI Indian captain :chai: Aab Maan JaiN Iss Cheez Ko

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

In Test Pakistan Won 12 and Lost 9

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Wow.

Do you have some humble pie for my consumption?

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Maybe the best ODI captain. But WAS a dangerous batsman. No more. That Dot Ball Dhoni.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

that is why i am impressed by dhoni...he was not shy of stating 72-51 number, which is also a fact just like 6-0. That shows some character.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Wonder what Raina would have said :hmmm:. To his advantage he could have blamed it on his nephew afterwards.

Anyhow, after retirement Dhoni is a good candidate for back channel diplomacy between the two countries.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

dil ke behlanay ko ghalib ye khyal acha hai :p

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Dhoni = MisbaaH...respectful, realistic and honest.

rest is all bongiyaaN.

i a one of the 'jet-engine's FANS' of Dhoni and his captaincy! :)

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

no vonder yoou ded nawt kumplete youare degree

:chai:

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Team India played very well and very very calculated. They did hard work and therefore they got victory.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Is Dhoni a great player/captain.. hell yea! But on the same side he's extremely lucky to have great talent, coaching staff, domestic structure, expert batsmen like Kohli etc in his eleven. Thats exactly the difference b/w Misbah and him right now. Look what has Misbah got in his side? Out-of-form YK, Akmal with a hot-potato-hands or bowlers who ball atleast 2 whacky balls in 6. On the top of it hafeez got dropped out , ajmal got banned.

No wonder Misbah ended up saying, "I dont know what happened, I just dont" .. an utter expression of frustration

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Har khilari kay aik aik backup tayar rakhana chahiaye… itnay londay club cricket kheltay hian.. un main talent nahi milta… :5:

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!

Always start a sentence with a capital letter. And end it with a fine point.

Re: Dhoni..supreme class!
