Popular Post TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted May 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2017 Rising Pune Supergiant’s team owner showered praise on skipper Steve Smith as the team takes on Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians in the final of IPL 2017 in Hyderabad on Sunday. Pune, who finished seventh in the previous season of the Indian Premier League, made an unbelievable turnaround this year to become the first team to qualify for the finals. RPS, who invited a lot of criticism after MS Dhoni was removed from captaincy before the season commenced, are now a win away from clinching the IPL trophy under the new skipper Steve Smith. Team owner Sanjiv Goenka lauded the Australian captain saying his mind is ahead of Dhoni’s. “MS is one of the greatest minds I have interacted with. And he is the best wicket-keeper in the world. The one mind ahead of Dhoni’s is (Steven) Smith’s. My brief to Smith was – ‘win the championship’. It’s difficult to believe the way he has planned some dismissals; the tact and firmness with which he has dealt with tricky situations and the win-or-nothing attitude he has been able to infuse into the team (and) get them to gel as a unit,” Goenka was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times. “You need to win eight (or) nine games to make the playoffs and Smith told me that between him, (Imran) Tahir and (Ben) Stokes, we would win seven. And players of the calibre of MS will always give you something. We had more match winners this time, players who would need five (to) six balls to settle down instead of 20. And we had not factored in Rahul Tripathi, Washington Sundar and Jaydev Unadkat. Tripathi and Sundar are going to be serious players on the Indian cricket scene,” concluded Goenka. sarcastic, New guy, Laaloo and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollack Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This guy has always talked sense. He doesn't disrespect Dhoni but rightly knows Smith is a better captain. It was always dhoni's fanatic who thought just because he removed dhoni as captain he is being disrespectful. They cannot digest the fact that Smith is better than dhoni. Like mentioned in the article, dhoni is a player who will always add something to the team. One needs to respect dhoni as a player but he is slowly losing it as well.

Smith is better than Dhoni as a captain in what sense exactly? And what are his other sensible quotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterix Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Guys it's official now... Goenka... you are a star... made it explicitly clear that Smith is the leader who's giving captaincy master class to Dhoni with respect to leading a mediocre team... That settles it folks.... speedheat, kira, Laaloo and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the different types of senses in captaincy? He is a better captain than dhoni means exactly what is said. For his other sensibles quotes there are some interviews that he has given during ,before and after auctions on news channels. Not sure if those will be available on youtube but you may google. He always talked sense. This is true. asterix and Under_Score 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
