No sooner was the Indian team bundled out of the Twenty-20 World Cup after a defeat against England, morons in India have started burning effigies of Dhoni.
“Dhoni took the T20 world cup lightly. It seems Dhoni is more fascinated by glamour world instead of cricket,” said Shyama Kumar, one of the protesters.
This Shyama Kumar guy must be one of the loser kinds like the ones we see on our streets with nothing better to do than pick up fights with all and sundry. Or must be one of the hired goons paid by the media who were being royally ignored by Dhoni and his team.

2 years ago, Twenty-20 was a novelty. No one had a clue about India’s strengths and weakness in the game. The young team led by MS Dhoni won the inaugural twenty-20 world cup at South Africa.
Two editions of IPL later, all the players in the Indian team are under the radar of the opposition’s think tanks. They are sure to have made their own plans on how to counter Yuvraj, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, Gambhir, Sehwag, Dhoni, Raina etc…
Its precisely why, this Twenty-20 World Cup at England will be the acid test for Dhoni and his men. For Dhoni, its time to prove that his previous victory was not a fluke and that luck always plays a big factor in his victories.

India opens its schedule with a game against Bangladesh on Saturday (6 June). There is just 7 victories between any team and the World Cup.
So, kya yeh cup kahin nahin jaayega? Well, time will tell. Meanwhile, am sure i dont need to specify which team Iam cheering for

India proves that the Twenty20 World Cup win was no flash in the pan by bludgeoning the reigning 50 over world champions Australia. Whooopppiiieeeee..
Now, will someone please tie up Andrew Symonds to a chair and show him more celebrations and Indian cricketers doing ads

Will Dhoni and his boys do what a collective dream team of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid could never deliver in a lifetime?
Will Dhoni be the next captain after the ‘magnificient’ Kapil Dev to ever win any form of a World Cup Cricket tournament for India? Or will the situation go to the head and India flatter to deceive, as always? Will the millions of audience worldwide be treated to a mind blowing, pulsating, edge of the seat thriller? Well, lets leave that to time.

Rival captains Shoaib Malik of Pakistan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India pose with the ICC World Twenty20 trophy. In the background is a statue of Nelson Mandela.
Its exactly at times like these that i miss being back at home in India with hot cups of steaming tea, pakoras (the greatest cricket maniac ever, my mom) and a cracker match on the telly. Meanwhile, India takes on Pakistan today for what is being billed as the ‘mother of all battles‘ to decide the winner of the Twenty-20 World Cup at Johannesburg, South Africa.
May God bless all the weak hearted cricket maniacs.
