Is Dhoni the culprit?

I would hate to see this news piece come true. I think Dhoni as a man with a lot of integrity and respect for his seniors. And the news that Dhoni had a hand in Ganguly's ouster has stirred me up a bit.

I would understand that a person like Dhoni would have issues handling temperamental people like Ganguly. But simply for that reason, he cannot pull his weight to drop a man who is in the form of his life and apparently was the 2nd highest scorer in the ODI format last year. And guess who was the highest, Sachin.

If Dhoni is really guilty of this, then probably he should be made to wait a while longer to captain the side again. Because a captain should first think of the strength of the team and not his personal equation with a team mate. As long as someone is performing, no one can omit that person from the team. It would just show his inability at man management because any Tom, Dick and Harry can handle a bunch of youngsters simply because he has the remote control to thier career. The talent lies in handling the superstars and still getting the best out of the team.

I hope this news piece is just a gossip because I quite like Dhoni as a competitor and a player.
