MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni declared his quick retirement from Test Cricket discreetly after the drawn test against Australia . It was undoubtedly a Practical End to a Practical man's Test Career . A man who went ahead with his business discreetly , never saying anything, letting the World talk capriciously. Dhoni developed as a player , as a man when he was given the captaincy of the test furnish . The level of Calmness, Composure and Maturity appeared by him was untouchable . This conveyed a conclusion to a superb test profession crossing right around 10 years .

For a few , He was a Legend , for others He was only a customary person who got Lucky as a rule . For me , He was a blend of both . While his Captaincy exhibitions in ODIs and T20s have been commendable , his test record does not demonstrate reality behind it. Release us first through some of his Highs and Lows as a Test Captain :

Highs:

India accomplished number 1 Test positioning for year and a half beginning from December 2009 .

Captained in 60 of the 90 tests he played for India .

Had a triumphant level of 45% .

Never scored a Hundred outside Asia. Neglected to rouse group to triumph abroad not at all like Ganguly.

8 Consecutive Test Losses.

One all the more away Loss would have held him at standard with Stephen Fleming for most number of away test misfortunes as Captain. Every one of these focuses I made are just relating to Test Cricket. His greatest accomplishment stays Leading India to Number 1 Test Ranking based on a progression of home strength and exhibitions by the Golden Generation and himself. Along these lines, making him a Mediocre Test Captain, best case scenario. MS Dhoni is an ideal case of "Zero to Hero", "Fortune supports the Brave" and "A normal man ascending through the Ranks to Lead his Country to Glory."
