Dhoni was criticised not only by fans but also his teammates

‘Captain Cool’ has a habit of taking matches to the last over and win it for the team. Teammates and pundits have criticised the Indian skipper when he failed to do so.

During the Commonwealth series in Australia, India was chasing 237 runs and it didn’t seem impossible with Gautam Gambhir’s brilliant 91, but Dhoni dragged it till the very end and faltered in winning the match.

Gambhir criticised and blamed Dhoni and said that he would have wrapped the game up in the 45th over if he would have stayed till the end. He also blamed Dhoni for his run out.
