MS Dhoni’s captaincy and Indian consecutive victories

Indian batting is articulating that noting will make barrier to them. It’s really a dramatic change on the site on Indian team. If you look over the previous tournaments before the home series along side England India was combating about the leadership internally. There was a big controversy about the captainship and who will lead the team during the test match. I think Indian selection committee turned down a positive conclusion by removing Anil Kumble and Kumble’s pronouncement step down brought India in this situation.

Now, there is no hesitation that MS Dhoni is one of successful Indian cricket. He got the responsibilities after the England tour to lead the Indian team during the inaugural Tweyty20 World Cup 2008 in South Africa. MS Dhoni along with some young flock leaded the team like magic stick. As a result, India titled the Twenty20 World Cup with MS Dhoni’s clever leadership.
Indian selection committee realized after one year that Dhoni is the perfect man who can lead the India team in both areas Test cricket, one-day internationals and Twenty20 tournaments too.

At this moment, India is leading the No-2 positing of one-day international ICC Cricket rankings and in the 3rd position in Test. The team is just 3 points behind South Africa who has achieved the top position by beating the world ODI champion Australia. If India can win the 5th match against Sri Lanka of the ongoing series then India will climb on the number one at ICC ODI cricket ranking.

This is not end for Indian team. If India able to secure the victory than it will touch another record of 10 matches consequent victories in the world after Australia.

Indian captain MS Dhoni already has reached the top position as a number one batsman of the world after scoring 96 runs during the 4th ODI at Colombo. Previously, West Indies crickets Chris Gayle was that title holder.
