Dhoni's Dhamaka?
After Dhoni's unfortunate duck in the fifth match of the series, I expected a barrage of criticism from the Indian public. In fact, so did the 4th Umpire as he prepared to discuss the results of the match.
The Indian media and public alike had been so quick to title Mahendra Singh Dhoni the Crown Prince of Indian Cricket, comparing him to the likes of Adam Gilchrist and the King of Indian Cricket himself - Sachin Tendulkar. Navjot Sidhu was correct in his statement: He hasn't even played a test match yet!
And so, when this wave of critcism didn't show, I began to wonder. Perhaps the Indian public is mature enough to realise that Dhoni's dismissal was infact just an unfortunate happening. Or perhaps they wished to hide their shamed faces at the undeserved hullabaloo they made over his prior successes. I wish to believe the former is indeed the truth. But perhaps the truth lies the latter.
Dhoni's Dhamaka: will it phase out as the Spice Girls did or live on eternally like the Beatles?
There seems to be only one answer to that: Only time will tell.
