Would you have given Ishant Sharma a 4th over?

[Gunner]

Yadav had the best figures (10-1 in two overs), should've bowled him out.

[FischerTal]

No, never, not.....

[India-KXIP fan]

Yes. Him or Yadav, not Bhuvi or a part timer. I was saying before Ishant came on he will be more likely to get a wicket than Bhuvi, and that Bhuvi should be taken off. Wickets>decent economy in that match.

Did anyone notice how just after the last ball Dhoni picked out Ishant running in from a distance and wave at him. Ishant runs in and hugs him. Dhoni believes in mentoring his charges and at any given time he willingly takes on a struggling playeer as a project and helps them overcome their slump - be it within the period of a tourney ("he needs confidence" piyush during the world cup, or over two matches - did this with Nehra over two matches where Nehra lost us a match in the death and was given a chance in the next match to redeem himself, or during a match, when he throws the ball to a bowler with the worst figures and shows them he believes in them, or over years like he did with Jadeja. When he threw the ball to Ishant it was like he was saying, "I am surrounded by heroes but I'm throwing the ball to you. What are you going to do about it?" Dhoni is an Intuitive-sensing-feeling leader who believes in helping his charges grow and be their best.

That my friend is a load of BS. Not dissing Dhoni here, in fact I loved his captaincy in this tournament, the attacking fields throughout 50 overs in all matches was beautiful to watch.

Yadav had the best figures (10-1 in two overs)' date=' should've bowled him out.[/quote'] as per Dhoni's standard that wasn't enough to get another over :hatsoff:

[zakk]

No' date=' never, not.....[/quote']

i remember thinking after the six was hit that I did not mind losing in finals but losing because of a bad call would be really bad. had a really bad feeling then the miracle happened.

It was one of the most retarded captaincy decsions you will ever see. I have no idea how dhoni got so lucky and got away with it:hysterical:

110% agreed :agree:

:sherlock: But yes, Dhoni does give enough chances and confidence to players he has belief in.
