Cricbuzz.com: Cricbuzz.com: Dhoni plays down defeat

  • jegan · 7 months ago
    india has failed to play some special shots at the last few overs especially yusuf
  • srinivas · 7 months ago
    Its just because of ravindra jadeja who scored 41(40). This is not a good score in T20.
  • cricket · 7 months ago
    no offense, but why blame it on a youngster? Gambhir scored just 14 runs in 15 balls!
  • Indian · 7 months ago
    Hey Koiyala, Ghambir is a opener Jadeja is a finisher... so Jadeja shouldnt have scored 41(40). He is the only person designed this defeat.

    He is very selfish... watch him in all the matches he played for India... He is a talented chap but not fit for the Indian team due to his Charachter

    jadeja unfit man
  • Sandy · 7 months ago
    Ravindra jadeja was looking like a wrong selection for t20. He spoiled match on his own head. Other heroes were quite fabulous specially sharma and raina. Jadeja who was well settled batsman for the last five overs but he didn't have capability to play big strokes. He couldn't hit even consecutive boundaries.
  • srinivas · 7 months ago
    yeah. you are correct sandy
  • Ben10 · 7 months ago
    Yes,you are right Sandy. R Jadeja has to be clicked in the last overs. Inspite of taking singles he should try to hit biggie's as he was well settled.

    once again, why blame it on a youngster?? Can't you see that Gambhir could have contributed more and stopped NZ from winning by NINE RUNS! It was so close! Oh, and also, Dhoni dropped Ross Taylor's catch, which let him score big. So it wasn't just one person!

    try to learn the game better

    jadeja just couldn't hit a boundary. He ws wasting balls. Thats a bigger crime in t20 than getting out.
    DON't waste balls!
  • CRICKETMASTER3! · 7 months ago
    I am not a big fan of Jadeja either, but he held our innings together! Without him we would have lost by maybe 15-20 runs. It was his first world cup match and he would have been nervous, despite that fact he scored a lot of runs and I think he did well. If you want to blame someone it should be, (Dhoni he was the captain and only managed 4 runs, Gambhir 14 of 15 deliveries, Yusuf 2 of 7 deliveries, Irfan 5 of 7 deliveries and so on.

    Dhoni missed the trick by not bowling praveen kumar at death.......he bowled only one over and again missed the trick by not sending raina above him self in batting line up. Other wise it was a good chase till the 15th over and batsmen should have been bit more cautious while playing against Vettori by not giving away wickets to him.
  • shaik jan siddaiah · 7 months ago
    hey guys...

    why all are you targeting Jadeja..... what the batsman on the other end did? Yousuf scored 2 out of 7 balls.... he should have hit Vettori..... he wasted 3 balls at crucial time... and in the top order what Dhoni did...

    Unnecessarily don't blame a player who played better than many players...
  • cricket · 7 months ago
    I agree with you. These people clearly don't understand the point!
  • ahmed · 7 months ago
    I think indian team missed the trick, its " dont leave too much at the end". Some times people like yousef should be sent in early around 8 overs or so and dont worry too much about the your own wicket, go bank bank and try to reduce the gap, if this is done then people lilke jadeja, irfan and harbahajan can take singles in the end and win for you.
  • Indian4Change · 7 months ago
    Let's admit it, It was all because of JADEJA that India lost the match. he was so slow to start off with and ultimatelt the pressure had to come during the last stages and at the time when he was settled at the crease, he should have called it shots but still didn't managed a single SIX.... i guess he is there to play the Warm up matches and wouldn't get a chance in the tournament with the return of Sehwag and Yuvi...
  • Rakesh · 7 months ago
    Jadeja has never been a six hitter. In recently concluded IPL, we have seen that he is not really a match winner. He is more of an accumulator of runs never worrying about the pace with which he scores them. Dhoni should have sent Yusuf & Irfan ahead of Jadeja so that if these two big hitters. If these would have scored in boundaries, India would have to deal with fewer runs in last couple of overs. That was not to be. Anyway, lets hope for the best. We have a very good team out there but the only problem is we do not know whom to use when. It is like "too many cooks.." kind of situation.
  • Hasan Khalid · 7 months ago
    Well guys i m from pakistan

    i think this is only a practice match dont let down ur team bcz india is the only team who actully win against south africa and we r proud that asians are best and i thing pakistan can not win this trophy althouth i pray for pakistan but this is fact india is the only team who can win
  • neel · 7 months ago
    why they called yusuf pathan in T20 instead of Abishek Nayar - mumbai indians , This is the mistake of srikanth - selector
  • Udit kumar · 7 months ago
    U all r blaming jadeja for this defeate...he is a promising youngster and will play his part in india's success in future. I wanna say about yusuf pathan...he was offcolour in ipl & yesterday he was not very good either. He is the key man in india's middle order.He really needs to find some form.
  • Sandy · 7 months ago
    How can you say that yusuf was off color. Royals won few matches just bcoz of his power hitting. Commentators were saying his team as one man army and the man was yusuf. And about jadeja he is trying to make his place in Indian team withought much worrying whether team win or loose he is just making his money. He never tried for big hits while he was well settled. But he doesn't know only runs are not required to make a place but one match winning performance is need to make it. I blame only and only jadeja for india's defeat.
  • amit · 7 months ago
    Although Jadeja is good player & he was able to sustain there but in yesterday match where India was chasing a high target this performance is not beneficial. If he tried to hit regular boundries on bad balls, the match could be turned other way round. Ok lets see hows Dhoni will handle all these things in T20WC...lets see
  • K.Sundar · 7 months ago
    Like it was said to Ganguli, Dhoni should also be told to take rest . Let him run with beauty queens and make money,we have no problem, but Indian cricket should not face any problem because of his over work elsewhere. We have more competitive players than Dhoni., thanks to IPL. Parthiv Patel and Karthik are far far superior to Dhoni in wicket keeping. I vote Sehwag as Captain of Indian team for 20/20 match. Sehwag has no diversion. If chance given Suresh Raina will prove as a brilliant captain and all rounder.

    yusuf failure and dhoni in up is also a failure reson
  • Nathan · 7 months ago
    Definitely Team failed to live up to the expectations. Raina Battered well but then got out at the wrong time..from then there was no momentum. R.Jadeja faced 40 deliveries that's about 1/3 of the game and scored 41 runs, which is not enough when chasing 170, the other 80 deliveries has produced 120 runs..so that is like 1.5 run per ball so clearly you can see the difference.
  • ankita · 7 months ago
    sehwag as captain??????how funny......sehwag is a dam good player but not a good captain.we even had an example...he was the captain of india in second test against NZ...what happened.....we just looked completely out of sorts!!!!!!!guys don't even blame jadeja....it was his 1st match r8....bechara....he may b nervous and i think all r indian players r out of form and hope they grab some form in next match.!!!!!!!!and still its only a WARM UP game!!!!let's hope for d best!!!!!!!!!
  • Fan · 7 months ago
    Jadeja is not a match-winner at all..I have never seen him wina match on his own..He just looks to score runs for himself...Such players shld never be part of the team.
  • Amit · 7 months ago
    Dude, if he's still a youngster, let him play under 21 tournaments. If he's been selected in the national team this excuse doesn't hold. It's not about handling pressure, he couldn't get aggressive even after playing 40 balls.
    Gambhir on the other end opened the innings and woth Rohit Sharma playing so well had no need to accelerate.
    And finally, shut up if you don;t know the game.. i shouldn't be explaining all of this to you.
