Champions Or Chumpions!

Yesterday's match with England is end of saga depicting India to win their second title.
The whole nation is disappointed by the performance of the team especially the poor form of skipper MSD.
Here are the reasons I feel why India lost the match:

1. Miserable batting by Jadeja, who scored 25 off 35 balls which is not desired strike-rate in T-20 format.But you dont expect a new player like him to shine in his first match, that too in the situation of do or die

2. With 9 required of 2 balls and lethal Yousuf on strike, Indian fans still had a hope that India would make it, untill Dhoni commited a big blunder. Dhoni was supposed to take 2 runs when Yousuf hit the ball for straight drive, instead Dhoni restricted Yousuf to take just 1 run, which changed the whole scenario of the game. This is not the first blunder done by the Indian skipper, earlier in the last match against WI Dhoni failed to hit the stumps even when the ball was quite comfortably in his hand to runout Bravo , which cost him heavily.


3. Dhoni has to be blamed for other reason also. When Dhoni came on to the crease at the last 6 overs India required runs at a rate of 12 per over. Slowly as the match progressed to the last 3 overs and India required runrate of over 13 Dhoni was still seen defencing the ball just for 1 run.
Well..you don't expect any batsmens to play a defence at the last overs fo the T-20 format. This shows Dhoni's ability to play in the tense situations. Surely he is not a match winner.


4. Poor fielding by Yuvraj in the last over of England's innings gifted 4 runs t England.


One thing is for sure, nothing went well for Dhoni throughout the tournaments.
There is also smell of rumour that most of the Indian players where not happy with the behaviour of the skipper.
