In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.

MS Dhoni still the best bet as Test, ODI captain. No calmer finisher than Dhoni

Sports teaches you there is always a second innings in life. If you fail today, theres a second innings maybe two days later. Maybe theres another opportunity coming up three or six months later. If you look at mistake as learnings and commit never to make a same mistake again, then you actually get better with every mistake that you make.

Conflict of interest and lack of transparency, though they are global features as we saw post-Iraq, almost define Indian cricket.

If you asked Rahul Dravid to walk on glass for his team, his only question would be - 'How many miles?' That just shows you how great a man he is.

MS Dhoni showed India what a tough man from a small town could dream and achieve. He has been a role model. Respect.

If Dhoni plays till the end, one thing is for sure..He will make his team Win.
