Dhoni, the Indian T20 captain said they failed to make it to the finals of the World Cup T20 because of night long IPL parties, which happened just a month back.Backing his team, he went on to say IPL parties have left them exhausted coupled with the 45 hour journey to reach the Caribbean – the venue of this year’s T20 tournament.
However whatever may be his opinion and judgment – one thing is for sure – no one from the IPL side has told them party is mandatory. According to many cricket experts and IPL organisers, there was at all no need to present in the nightclubs, dancing to the tunes of DJs, when you are feeling tired and restless.
These are just lame excuses given by Mahendra Singh Dhoni to justify their horrible successive losses against West Indies and Sri Lanka, which closed all roads to reach the semi-finals.
I simply don’t support Dhoni’s statement, since it’s very much doubtful what would the outcome be had there not been any partying at all! We have seen before many such moments of India losing matches miserably against teams, in spite of enough practices and a good night’s sleep!
Whether it is Ravindra Jadeja or Yuvraj Singh, no player has done justice to their names on the field. Who can forget the pictures of Yuvraj Singh partying hard with the sizzling models of Bollywood?
The Indian team has returned to the country this morning only, and already news of Sehwag replacing Dhoni as T20 captain is in the air. Now, it’s up to the BCCI to demand an explanation from Dhoni, as to what actually went wrong in West Indies. Process has already started to look into each player’s fitness level to play in the next month’s Asia Cup matches in Sri Lanka.
