Few days back, Indian team packed their bags to return back to their home land with the shattered hopes of millions of people back home. The team that was followed by an enormous crowd cheering, dancing and singing all their way, that team would have been praying a peaceful and danger less journey to their homes this time. The media that took the team to cloud 9 before world cup has just been digging its grave since its exit from the tournament. Each and every sentence that was said by Dhoni is literally put under scanner by media. The hero of the nation “Mahi” has just been turned down to the Villain of the nation .The news channels are flooded by the news of the loss, but why not? He represents the most awaited, prestigious and lovable game of the nation. But is the response that he is getting after this loss right? Well in my opinion “NO”. Last night i was watching a news channel debate on Dhoni, a news reporter (very well known for blowing smallest possible thing out of proportion) was debating with former Indian team player Bishen Sing Bedi. Reporter point was that when Dhoni gets all the accolades when the team wins he must get all the hammering when the team loses. When he gets huge sums of money, so much of popularity when team wins then why should not we target him when the team fails to reach the next stage .Well on the whole he makes sense, but we are not talking about a business deal or anything like that. We are talking about a game in which there are certain aspects which can be completely out of hand of an individual, and Dhoni is no exception.
