Calcutta: Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been very successful captain for India and his recent conquests ? back-to-back titles in the form of the Champions Trophy and the tri-series in the West Indies ? have only glorified his already high status.
One-time teammate V.V.S. Laxman thus rightly feels that India are lucky to have a captain like Dhoni.
?His records speak for himself... He has that uniqueness to respond to a tough situation with ease. He does not involve himself much emotionally, and that?s his quality. India are lucky to have a captain like Dhoni,? Laxman said on the sidelines of a function in the city, on Sunday.
[The former star, who retired last August, has in fact reiterated what he told The Telegraph in April this year.
?? There?s no doubt that Dhoni?s the right person to lead India. We did lose a couple of series overseas, but that can happen... The way Dhoni has taken responsibility to win matches is laudable? Dhoni?s very balanced and doesn?t get very emotional over the results. That?s an excellent quality to possess. Clearly, he prefers leading from the front.?]
In the tri-series final, Dhoni led India to a stunning one-wicket victory taking 16 runs off the very last over. ?He once again stayed composed? I really appreciate the way he?s instilling confidence among the young players. The credit goes to Dhoni and his team.?
He, however, refused to compare Dhoni with former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
Ravindra Jadeja?s emergence as an all-rounder and Shikhar Dhawan?s success as an opener have been largely responsible for India?s stupendous show. Laxman feels Dhoni should be credited for persisting with Jadeja.
?Dhoni backed him well, especially using Jadeja as a bowler. He is also a great fielder and a handy batsman. Jadeja has emerged as a great asset to the Indian team and Dhoni should be complimented,? he said.
