Should Dhoni have promoted himself?

In the 2011 final, one of the top 3 almost made a 100. People tend to forget that easily. Dhoni alone would not have won you the world cup.

Just one question. Why did Dhoni leave any sort of acceleration so late?

He is not the same player he was few years ago, He just performed whats best of him.

He tried ,Rahane ruined it,he wasnt even taking singles.Anyways we were not in the game after Raina's wicket and Rahane's crawl.

Chasing 330 under lights in Australia where seamers get help and also played on grounds with big boundaries against a good quality attack is always tough. Dhoni is usually the finisher and usually good at scoring at a quick pace towards the end. There were other batsmen whose job was to build the innings in the middle. In all honesty, only Kohli could have got us close to the target. When he got out, Australia clearly became the favorites.
