Dhoni is a good leader- Geoffrey Boycott

“Mahendra Singh Dhoni led’s the team very well and India is lucky to have a captain like him” said by former England player Geoffrey Boycott.

Geoffrey Boycott said that, “Currently Indian team is very weak in bowling. In addition to this Dravid and Laxman are recently retired. Sachin Tendulkar hasn't taken any high scores in recent matches. These things are against to MS Dhoni. He is the lucky player for Indian team. India continuously failed to win against England in Test match. So they plan to replace Dhoni, but they didn't get any alternative player to replace Dhoni”.

He also added that, “Dhoni has good leadership skills and he is a brilliant captain for one day match. At the same time he is not suitable for test matches. If the team lost the match, the captain is responsible for that. But in this case we can’t blame Dhoni, because good players are going out from Indian team. So the team is not in good grade”.

The England team came to India to participate in five ODI match series against India. At the end of first four matches, Indian team won the series by 3-1. The fifth match is going to held on January 27^th at Dharamsala. But Dhoni to participate in the match is doubtful. 

Dhoni hopes hard to replace Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is the well known senior Indian cricketer and he is also acknowledged as the greatest living batsman.  Tendulkar managed a mere 112 runs at an average of just under 19 in the just-concluded Test series against England, prompting speculations about the 39-year-old's retirement from international cricket. Tendulkar and his partner VVS Laxman took India to a very comfortable position with the visitors requiring just 112 runs short of victory.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has expressed hope legendary Sachin Tendulkar keeps playing Test cricket for the country despite poor run of form. Dhoni said great players like Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid are hard to replace, and added that Indian team is going through a tough phase similar to when they lost in 2007 World Cup. He also added that "We are going through a tough time. It is difficult to replace Rahul Dravid or Sachin Tendulkar or VVS Laxman and you have to back young players”.
