The controversies back home seemed to have unified and gelled the team in such a way that each and every player complimented each other and have produced an emphatic success in Champions Trophy in its final edition.Team India will go down in the history as the last team to win the final edition and Dhoni as the only captain who has won T20WC,WC,Champions trophy,Test No:1 .
I have not watched a single match in the CT to comment on the tactical moves Dhoni made and his captaincy on field but what I did was follow the reports and interview he made which evidently showed that he shielded the team from any sort of external pressure.In the past he has soaked into utmost pressure on the field and more often than not delivered the result in style for he is the world's best finisher but this time around the pressure was all over the team both on the field and off the field and he has risen above all hate and lead the team to a phenomenal success.
Just before the start of the series the people(due to media) started to jump into conclusions.Right from his possibly wrong business deals to quoting him a puppet, Dhoni was attacked from all the corners and people started to lose hope.One simple thing he did was just made results do the talking and flicked the others just like a dust on the shoulder. The ease with which he does it still amazes me.His clam demeanor even in the advent of the "world falling apart" situation makes me look at him in awe.I have always said Dhoni is the best man manager on field but now I can go ahead and tell he is one of the best thing to have happened to Indian cricket and he is the best captain. A true Champion..!
