...for the semifinals in the T20 World cup 2009 after they lost the match to England by 3 runs. I was a little surprised as we lost the match. Yeah I too agree there had been a concern on the way we did our run chase or batting order, bowling etc. It’s finally how we enjoy the game. Yeah of course, if India had won, the rest of the matches would have been interesting.
The most annoying thing is the way the media has showcased this. Today morning all the news channels were literally commenting on Dhoni’s captaincy, strategy, tactics and whatever techno-words they use. We should note that the same media had praised Dhoni for his captaincy, for winning the previous T20 World cup. Joginder Sharma bowled the last over of the crucial final against Pakistan in the previous T20 World Cup and fortunately India won. I am not sure if that decision is good or bad but we won the match. By the way I am not commenting on his captaincy and I am not an expert either to do that. The other irritating thing is one news channel went one more step ahead and asked for polls – “Should Dhoni retain the captaincy after the T20 World Cup 2009?” Its not only this instance, but media wants to mint money out of every sort of news which may be useless, useful, critical, hot or important or whatever. I remember the movie “Mumbai Meri Jaan” where in they clearly bring media to the lights. It’s not only the media, but also my fellow people who respond to those polls. At least to the extent of my knowledge nothing had got impacted because of these polls, except they get charged for that sms and media or the service provider gains out of it.
India did not qualify “only” now…
....but lots to come favorable in future!
