Texan Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Stokes, Tiwari and Unadkat at the top. Captaincy change to Smith may have helped as well, but the above 3 were the biggest contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You named so many players. yet you missed their most important bowler (just because his pace doesn't fit your criteria). Unadkat is more responsible for the successes than Lockie, Christian, Thakur.

BeautifulGame Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The most responsible? Already won both of India's limited overs domestic tournament and on verge of clean sweeping . Time for you guys to do your Google search Rasgulla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason this thread is about dhoni vs Smith is because dhoni fans are saying dhoni is guiding the team and an International captain of a team like Australia just following his orders. sscomp32 and Laaloo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add "Not both" - As a cricket fan, If i think both is not responsible for Pune success. So entire forum is circlejerk and troll threads. So there is no point in having a proper discussion..

Smiths captaincy and playing eleven has been spot on. Batting has been good. Overall Smith has turn around a poor team with actual performance which dhoni failed at last year.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Why cant we give credit to whole team. Why is this obsession of all time to give credit to individual to prove someones gr8ness or orove him valueless. Yuvi won the cup, dhoni did it, smith did it, kohli did it. No its always the team. A single individual can only win few games. To do well in whole tournament u need team to fire. Smith dhoni fleming stokes all youngsters deserve credit. Smith deserve for handling the team well and dhoni for suppourting him. sscomp32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has a bad image in India after the recent 'brainfade' gate incident. Obviously advertisements are meant for naive fans. Those are not made on cricketing skills but popularity. Dhoni is popular in India rather than Smith. Goenka also does the same thing. Uses dhoni for PR and making money (by not removing him from team for crowd reasons) but knows on field Smith is a better captain. Literature girls won't understand. You should've done MBA.
