does dhoni have an attitude problem?

[descorpio]

Do you think that dhoni has got an ego or attitude problem. Because i could obviously see that he is not much interested in the field. from my views, i can say that he does not carry the same momentum as he plays an ODI or a T20. What do you think about this.

Anybody who gets such attention is bound to have this problem.When one is at the top,you see,the uncertainty and insecurity begins to weigh and that is what is happening with him too.

I feel he is a good leader. He doesn't take the pressure on himself and his team members respond to his calls.Another point that works in his favor is that he has a good temperament and doesn't lose his cool easily.He may have changed his game a bit since he started captaining the T20 team , but that's because he has to now anchor the innings and move into the slogger's role only later in his innings

i could accept all your views. But i asked about his attitude in the test game that was recently concluded. Much to the agony, the delivery that got his wicket will itself show you, how careless he was. He was really not bothered to throw away his wicket. That was a dismal show. I think he has taken success to his head.

Can't agree with that. If he would have let success get the better of himself , then he wouldn't have invited on the juniors in the side to hold the CB cup after the tri series win in Australia. To me , he is still the down to earth guy who puts his team before himself. He might get carried away and play a few unworthy strokes , but then that was the case even for the other batsmen.

Even i stress the point that he gives more importance to the young guns. It is more welcomed. But not at the cost of insulting the senior players and by not mentioning their performances. They why Sachin must have said after coming from the Australian series that "senior members contribution must not be forgetton".... Thats where i said that dhoni has taken success to his head rather to heart.

I think during both finals he rightly praised Sachin's performance. Sachin had scored a century and 91 in successive matches. Dhoni didn't talk about other seniors because they weren't in the one day team.I am not sure I'd read it as an insult. It's just something media is cooking up to create news where none exists.

This is true to some extent. The media is gearing up in creating such a mess up. Players have to handle it in a balanced way. I strongly remember that Dhoni said in the presentation as,"This is my team and the right time to build up my team". I only mention these words as very aggressive against the senior players.

if he has such problem then its perfectly fine in my view.After all he is the most shining star and highest rated cricketer of india.He is a sensible player and will soon come out of this problem.

hi, i too think that he is not having any attitude or ego proble.The problem is only that he has become a great star and have got a lot of responsibility in a short span of his career.
