Imagine that you were a news Reporter and you got a chance to interview the famous Indian cricketer , M.S.Dhoni who has announced his retirement . Now write an interview between you and Ms. Dhoni .
Answers
Explanation:
I think the decision was a wise one.
Immediate cause:
It was obvious that Dhoni will have to step down from the captaincy after the dismal performance in Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It is tough to deal with the cricket fans in India who are driven by emotions. The lost test series could cost him the captaincy in all three formats.
Probable consequence:
Even if he is allowed to continue as a wicket keeper batsman in the team, that is a downgradation and none of his franchises could tolerate that. This could eventally lead them to find new faces to promote their products.
Further, as a wicket keeper batsman, Dhoni would also have to face competition from other young players. It is that title of being the most succesful capain that can't be challenged bya nyone in the near future.
Calcualted retirement:
So, as one intelligent person who knows his strengths and weaknesses, Dhoni decided to step down as the test captain in the middle of the series. While a leader who leaves his side in the middle of a tournament would be subjected to a lot of criticsim, Dhoni's case was different.
Immediate reaction:
The decision divided the public into two sides:
The first section was dominated by people who wanted Dhoni to retire. When India was doing well under Dhoni, most of them did not have the balls to say that Dhoni wasn't doing well as a captain. They felt Dhoni was overrated, but were laughed at, when they said it open, For them, the fact that Dhoni is no longer the captain mattered the most.
The second section, a large portion of which thought that Dhoni was no ordinary human being and that God has sent him to save India were still digging to find what glorious reason led Dhoni to the decision, Dhoni smartly remained silent and let them cook their own story.
If we turn back to the day when Dhoni announced retirement, people talked about Dhoni's decision, about Kohli as the next captain etc. No one was really worried about the team's future under the new captain.
Result:
Dhoni lost none of his sponsors and is still amongst the most sought sportspersons by ad makers.
Team India has done really well in the World Cup 2015 so far and that cements Dhoni's captaincyin the side.
Wise decision it is.
