Dhoni - Media's Darling to Media's Whipping Boy

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always been in the news ever since he made his debut in the Indian team. The meteoric rise to become the Captain of Indian team is like a fairy tale surely. Apart from his talent, his diplomatic relationship with his seniors, he was helped to a large extent by the media. After being tired of writing about Fab 4, they were waiting to create the next icon and who else but Dhoni. He became the media darling, all of them ganging up the build the case for captaincy and then his success tales. The media ignored the fact that during the last year or so, he hadnt performed particularly with the bat till the day Dhoni decided to take on the media over the Sehwag injury fiasco at the t-20 world cup. The battle lines have been drawn and every media ( print/electronic) is on a race against time to bring out his fallacies into the limelight.

The bubble has burst Mr.Dhoni. From now on, your bat also has to do the talking. Ask Saurav Ganguly - he has gone through it as well.
