#3 Unfairly criticised for performances

In an illustrious career spanning 482 international matches, Dhoni averages above 35 in all three formats of the game, an outstanding feat for a batsman who comes in to bat generally during the slog overs. Labelled as one of the best finishers in the game, Dhoni has been instrumental in many of India's famous victories but has been trolled on some occasions when he has failed to produce the goods.

Coming in late with a lot of pressure to deliver, Dhoni has recently come under the scanner for having failed which is unfair, given that he is human and bound to fail on occasion.

On a similar note, Anup Kumar's performances have been overshadowed by some strong performances from his team-mates although his raids have turned matches around for the team. Taking the DO-OR-DIE responsibilities, Anup has ensured that his team has stayed in the game, but two and three-point raids from his team members have put him in the shadows.
