Dhoni hashtag was tending on Twitter. I gave it a look. On
the top of the page itself, I saw below Tweet and I was touched deeply.
This Tweet expresses the feelings of a Dhoni fan so well.
Dhoni has not been playing Cricket for some time. In the
beginning, just after World Cup, news came out that he has gone to serve the
Army and hence taken a couple of months off. He returned from the Army, but still
did not appear in the final-11 list of players for next Cricket series. It was
declared that Dhoni himself has opted out. A couple of more months passed and
no positive news. Then in the end, an insensitive and arrogant statement came from
one of the selectors that they were “moving ahead without Dhoni”. Fans did not
know how to react. What was Dhoni’s fault? He had just finished a successful World
Cup run; where his “under-utilization” was one of the reasons why India had
lost the Cup. What had Dhoni done to deserve this? Subramanian Swamy commented
that it was “envy” in the play, how selectors and BCCI management was (mis)
treating Dhoni. Who knows the full picture? But millions of his fans world over
have been waiting and their wait seems to be never ending. This is a reason why
such trends appear on Twitter every once in a while.
In a way Dhoni represents what is best about India. He is
calm and composed most of the time, but aggressive when required. He is ethical
and smiles amidst adversities. He is rock strong, but human at the same time.
And above all, he is a Family Man. Dhoni's fans can't love him enough.
With hope and prayer to see Dhoni playing Cricket once again
soon.
