(Image sourced from: www.crictalks.com) The epitaph- Captain Cool- will look good on Dhoni's cricketing grave which is being currently dug Down Under. Whether he deserves it or not is a matter of debate. I think Dhoni should be called 'Captain Clueless' for the leadership skills he has displayed, or rather not displayed, so far. The misnomer- Captain Cool- came around because Dhoni hoodwinked all of us into believing that his style of 'laissez faire' captaincy was a masterstroke of genius, and that he allowed folks to run the show- read- allowed bowlers to bowl to the field they desired- because he had immense faith in their skills. Did he? Well, I think he did it because he had no clue as to what to do on a cricket pitch except to keep pulling up his gloves to look busy, or to play that notorious 'Helicopter Shot', or getting bizarre hairstyles! As long as people were successfully doing what they were supposed to do, Dhoni got to bask in their glory....
