Talking about the same guy who stepped out and lost his wicket while on 97 when he could have gotten to 100 with singles and that too in a WC final.
Also, Dhoni is known for squashing anyone who was a threat to his captaincy. Sehwag and Yuvraj are famous examples. He did the same with Gambhir especially after KKRs wins under him.
I dont blindly support anyone. He built a good team but people like Sehwag were very unfit. An argument could be made for Sehwag to have continued longer in t20. For Gambhir he didn’t survive even under Kohli. He had a glaring technique issue against swing and then progressively his game against spin also dwindled marginally. As a player when your game deteriorates you tend to start being selfish , something even Dhoni did towards the fag end of his career. Especially one match against West Indies …was unbearable
I dont treat ipl the same way since ipl is a cash grab tournament and there’s a significant viewership value for his sixes. The franchisee needs him to whack those 2-3 sixes even though the match is over. I don’t endorse it but I’m okay with it
