Why did the fans remember MS Dhoni after being out of the T20 World Cup?

T20 World Cup | The dream of winning Team India's title once again in the ICC event remained unfulfilled. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, suffered a crushing defeat by 10 wickets at the hands of England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022. With this defeat, Rohit Sharma also could not fulfill India's dream of winning the ICC trophy. In 2013, India won the last ICC tournament under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, after this embarrassing defeat in the T20 World Cup, Indian fans once again started remembering Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

When Team India won the ICC Champions Trophy for the last time under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Team India defended the target of 130 runs. During this Dhoni had said that don't look up, God will not come to save you. You have to fight for it yourself, we are the No. 1 team and we have to play that way. If they want to win, they have to score runs and we will not let them do that easily.

On the other hand, when Team India could not defend 168 runs under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the captain blamed the bowlers for the defeat. Rohit Sharma said after the match that yes definitely it is disappointing. I thought we batted well but we didn't do well with the ball. It was not a total where a team could chase it without losing a wicket. Look, I think when it comes to the knockout stages, it's up to oneself as well. You cannot teach them to handle pressure. He has experienced it before. They are playing IPL. Some of these people can handle it.

This statement of Rohit Sharma shows how different captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was. Dhoni often used to take the responsibility of defeat on himself, while giving credit for the victory to the players of the team. Dhoni once said that I am guilty of everyone because I am the leader of this team. I too am fully responsible for the loss. These few things of Dhoni make him different from other captains.

Talking about Dhoni's successes, India first won the T20 World Cup in 2007, 15 years have passed since taking this title, but Team India was not successful in winning the second title. At the same time, under his captaincy, Team India won the 2011 World Cup. It has also been 11 years, while India has never won this tournament since the 2013 Champions Trophy. Apart from ICC events, India won many Asia Cup and World Test Championship mace under Dhoni's captaincy, but after his departure, India's dominance in multinational tournaments has been light.
