Diagnosing the Ganguly Malady

In my cricket articles you find one called ‘Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Traces of Arrogance?’ where I tried to point out telltale signs of Dhoni going off the positive track. After ICC T20 experience I feel Dhoni is fast going the Ganguly way.

I give below a few symptoms of the Ganguly Malady which can be diagnosed in Dhoni too:

• Creating friction between captain and vice-captain and between team members.
• Showing favoritism to some players and lobbying with the selection committee to include them in the playing eleven.
• Taking unpredictable strategic decisions.
• Success bred arrogant behavior.
• Getting into a consistent out-of-form black hole.
• Passing on the buck.

Please prove me wrong and help us all to bring Dhoni back to the right track.
