Took 147 deliveries to score his "maha shatak" whereas rest of the team scored 180 odd in remaining 150 deliveries.

Says Stokes, "In the hotel, MS keeps his door open and anybody can go in. He's been very accommodating. On the field, MS epitomizes calmness and, from a cricketing point of view, has the best angle in terms of field placements. Obviously, Steve's the captain, but he's aware that MS has the best angle and, so, has worked with him in setting fields." RPS batsman Manoj Tiwary, who top-scored in the first Qualifier against MI with 58 also stated how valuable Dhoni's contribution has been in the franchise's rise. "Obviously, Smith has been nominated as a captain, but he does not completely know the Indian domestic players and other teams as well, so Mahi bhai has been supporting him very well. It is evident on the field that Dhoni is the one who maneuvers the field and keeps the players in the right position. It allows Smith to be completely focused on bowling changes. He has too much on his plate anyway and hence Mahi bhai guides each and every player to stand in the correct positions."

Yeah right You do realize there's a difference between someone struggling and someone intentionally putting their personal targets ahead of the team? I can understand batsmen struggling and that happens all the time. But the point is that Tendulkar wasn't struggling at all. He was in 80s in 90 or 100 odd deliveries and wasn't troubled at all. And then he stalled going for his 100 and it cost the team big time. The point is not whether 280 was enough or not, the point is that a player deemed his personal milestone over team's best interests but obviously you won't see it at all coz as I mentioned earlier it was the 'maha shatak' and who cares about the team! velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stems from Mumbai school of "khadoos" batting - protect your wicket and your score. Gavaskar and Shastri have been guilty of that as well.

The point is that you do your best to get as big a score as possible. You want to finish off the opponent when you have the chance. If a team is 320/3 after say 44 overs then ending with 350 will be a let down even though 350 should be enough. You can't treat intl matches for your own personal objectives at the detriment of your team. Plus cricket is a funny game where even 434 was chased - all it requires is one fluke innings. And secondly who was Tendulkar to determine that 280 will be enough so let me not try to score more and focus on my 100? This is the sort of thinking and attitude coz of which India has underachieved in cricket and why a team like Aus is so good. I don't think you will ever see an Aussie player play an innings like that where personal goals are put ahead of the team. This is why I love Kohli coz you can see all it matters to him is his team winning. That's all what matters. Averages, 100s and rest of the stats are meaningless if the team doesn't win. That's the reason my siggy is all about trophies and not individual players or stats coz it's all about Team India.
