Mahendra Singh Dhoni,a unique Indian captain in the Twenty20 cricket World cup

September 26th, 2007

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has matured quickly as India’s cricket captain in the Twenty20 cricket World cip

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a unique and one of a kind captain for India’s cricket team in the Twenty20 cricket World cup

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s best characteristic is his infectious smile and positive attitude which was evident to everyone in this Twenty20 cricket World cup

MS Dhoni has showed that a captain in a Twenty20 international cricket match need not be flamboyant, aggressive or abusive. Dhoni’s brand of captaincy in the Twenty20 cricket World cup involves inspiring his fellow team-mates by a casual smile and asking his Indian cricket team’s teammates to “enjoy themselves”

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is probably the only Twenty20 cricket World cup’s captain who does not believe in sledging

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s personality and leadership qualities in the Twenty20 cricket World cup are exemplified in his belief in the dignity of cricket.

Dhoni made it clear that he personally did not approve of sledging or chit-chat in any international cricket match, be it Twenty20 cricket or one day international cricket or test match cricket

Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not mind the sledging by the opposition in the Twenty20 cricket World cup and responds by just smiling his enigmatic smile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s only rebuke was restricted to Sreesanth’s antics and immature behaviour. Incredibly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s only rebuke to his teammates was restricted to Sreesanth’s vociferous appealing and generally immature behaviour on the cricket field

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy in the Twenty20 cricket World cup is in sharp contrast to the “schoolboyish” captaincy of Graeme Smith

Graeme Smith, the captain of the South Africa cricket team, has often been commented upon for his schoolboyish style of captaincy, with an aggressive bias

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy style in the Twenty20 cricket World cup has been refreshingly different, with just an exhortion to his Indian cricket teammates to “enjoy themselves” during the cricket match

Is Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy style suited to Twenty20 cricket and other forms of cricket, or is Graeme Smith’s style better? Only time will tell!
