Dhoni vs Rithi sports management club & media
If u dont praise dhoni please dont hate him
He does not do any wrong thim to hate him
Tactics of ms dhoni
Dhoni has made certain changes which has helped indian team in which no one can tell that it is wrong
1point:
He had taken kohli in to indian team after kohli has won the under 19 world cup by a captain of that team, he has taken him not only for that reason that many of us not know about kohli that he is an all rounder he is the only batsmen in the under 19 world cup who has scored highest runs , taken MOST WICKETS as an bowler and has saved more runs in the field and taken many catches , After taking him in to the Indian team dhoni advised him to concentrate only on his batting more and made his bowling as an part time at that time india not has an genuiene allrounder who can score with bat & ball every 2 matches but he did this because there were many competition for the place in indian team at that time because of the more number of senior player in the team
2 point:
He has made ashwin as an indian team player who has did well in the IPL not only for that but he has the talent in himself, he was also an senior in the group a first class matches who lead the spin attack and also an regular opener for the tamilnadu state cricket team.After taking him in to the team leaving harbajan who has not done well for more no of matches he tells ashwin to concentrate more on his bowling rather than batting to just to keep in touch so as not to forget batting ashwin in the mid way of his career excelled in batting & lost his bowling spin for few days after he recongised quickly about his mistake and did as dhoni tells now he has been an bowling head of the indian spin attack ,now dhoni recognised that he is slow in fielding while running and made him as an slip fielder
3 point:
He had taken rohit by knowing that he is well in front foot and back foot shots he had not grabed his place but now dhoni made him an opener and he grabbed his place inspite of gambir
4point:
He has made suresh raina as an all rounder and he has made him as an slip fielder and an ground fielder
5point:
He has made jadeja as an genuiene all rounder who is he looking for most no of years inspite of yuvraj
6point:
He is looking to give an outside chance for yuvraj to come back to indian team very soon
7point:
He made dhawan an opener inspite of sehwag which is also going well
8point:
How can a person will help other than this for an indian team like mr.cool Dhoni
Hats of to him the unselfish leader
News about un selfish"mr cool" DHONI
Who said that dhoni wins the world cup by his luck and said that after winning world cup his luck has gone away
It is not by his luck that he wins the cup every time and also take his team to the final
It is by his sincere effort & his attitude & his non selfishness towards selection of the team because if he his selfishness he can take his desired player for every match that india is playing for eg: his desired players are yuvraj, rohit, jadeja,raina,kohli but if they are not playing well dhoni has left them in the playing eleven as he had done it in the past and today also he is doing that for eg:yuvraj is not playing well after he had come from fighting cancer he has left him for the sake of the team if he is selfish he will take yuvraj in the team if he is not playing well also......
Must read to every one &Sry to msd haters that we are busy in winning now
Who said india will never win a single match in england?
Go haters india is in the final
India has beat lanka by 8 wickets and 15 ovrs to spare
India has win all the 4 matches in a row and they are ready to beat england in their home ground wait &see it coming Sunday
Msd haters are thinking omg!!! How we can say that the match is fixed neither not it is an csk match to say that the match is fixed because it is an battle of top 8 teams ....
We can't say that a single match is fixed in champions trophy because india has won all the 4 matches....
Nor we can say that it is is a senior team created by dada because there are no players playing in the current indian team where all the players are live wire in the fielding ,batting &bowling &depth bowling
So the msd haters r thinking in a different way

NEWS ABOUT WILL IPL CONTINUE
Depending on who you ask, the IPL went down in flames, reached the logical conclusion of a property that was more "sports entertainment" than cricket or was in spite of (and maybe even because of) all the controversies, an unqualified success.
It also marks the year Pepsi spent a reported Rs 160 crore over two months on what was one of the most comprehensive engagements of a brand with a sporting franchise in the history of Indian marketing. But to get the question everyone wants an answer to out of the way first:
Are Pepsi and IPL quits?
At the time of going to print, no. Pepsi is still maintaining a studied silence on the issue. Besides even as the public and the media savaged the accused players and the top brass at the BCCI, the sponsors were relatively untarnished save for a few stray snide remarks.
An ad veteran who works on brands from Pepsi's arch rival is confident that had Coke been the official sponsor, Pepsi would have definitely come up with a snarky topical campaign, perhaps a more vicious avatar of "nothing official about it."
Marketing consultant Harish Bijoor on the other hand chooses to believe its part of the game: "5-day cricket is like the staid editorial, one-day cricket is like a crisp front page and IPL is all of funky page 3. There is always the risk that things may go out of hand and in this case, it has. I hope Pepsi is reinsured on this count."
At this stage it seems likely the association will continue. The controversy is dying down and there's no statement of a pullout. Whatever decision Pepsi takes on IPL, it continues to engage with cricket. Its latest campaign playing out on social media is titled 'Road To Champions' where players and fans are encouraged to talk about classic moments in the sport. At stake is a chance to be part of the toss at the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy in London. However to dial things back a bit...
Pepsi claims it was strapped for time in the lead up to its maiden year as sponsor on IPL. But previous tournaments had left the company with several insights on what was likely to work. Says Homi Battiwalla, senior director - marketing (colas , juices & hydration),PepsiCo India, "From the time we did 'Change The Game' two years back, we realised TV advertising has to be the mainstay but there are newer pieces coming up."
The brand began to harness the power of Facebook a couple of years ago and used Twitter for the first time during the ICC T20 last year. It also took inspiration from the best practices relating to on ground asset utilisation the world over. Given the timing of the matches and consumer habits, team Pepsi was confident IPL 6 would be watched across multiple screens.
Leading the cola category in summer advertising was something Pepsi had taken for granted. A more significant benchmark would be against other brands using IPL. Says Battiwalla, "Salience is one part, but could we break clutter? This was not just about broadcast and on air but on ground. We wanted to convert this into something people had not previously seen or engaged with." Deciding that such an opportunity was too big to squander on just a single brand Pepsi opted to for a folio that included the flagship cola brand, 7Up, Mountain Dew, Gatorade and the launch of its second cola Atom.
On Air
Sources at Pepsi estimate a total 200 million people watched IPL 6 on TV this year. It had commercials starring brand ambassadors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra and a launch ad for its new brand Atom, but also found a wild card entry. In the West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle, who played for the Bengaluru franchise, Pepsi discovered a global icon with great traction across the country.
The Right Choice, Maybe?
By the time the tournament was through, Gayle had a music video of his own, dancing and rather robotically intoning Pepsi's 'Oh Yes Abhi' tagline. While not standard advertising and nowhere near as widely supported on TV as its lead commercials, videos such as these gave the brand a lot of content to push online
Confident India take on resurgent Sri Lanka in Champions Trophy semifinal
India will be the fancied team on paper but the Lankans are also on a high after defeating both England and Australia en route to the semifinal, which would be a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final in Mumbai.
While India were the first team to make the last four from the tournament's Group of Death with an all-win record, Sri Lanka grabbed the last semifinal berth on Tuesday after warding off a late challenge from Australia.
The 20-run win against the Aussies at The Oval enabled the Lankans to finish level on points with England, but an inferior run-rate pushed them to No. 2 and earned them a date with India at the Sophia Gardens.
For the Lankans, the clash against India will be a grudge game of sorts. In the final of the 2011 World Cup at the Wankhede, India outclassed the co-hosts by six wickets, easily chasing down a 275-run target, with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni laying the coup de grace with a towering six off Nuwan Kulasekara.
While Sri Lanka have retained the core of that 2011 World Cup Kumar Sangakkara-led squad at the Champions Trophy, the Indian team has seen an influx of new blood after Sandeep Patil replaced Krishnamachari Srikkanth as chief selector in September 2012.
Only Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina are the remnants of the victorious World Cup squad and the arrival of a set of precocious youths like Ravindra Jadeja and Shikhar Dhawan has had a telling impact on the overall team performance, especially fielding.
The Indians have been on song ever since landing in the UK for the Champions Trophy. The Lankans were the first to face the heat, losing a warm-up game in Birmingham on June 1.
India flexed their batting muscle, easily chasing down a 334-run target with five wickets in hand and six balls to spare.
Kohli and Dinesh Karthik scored hundreds, virtually toying with a mature Lankan attack, spearheaded by Kulasekara and current skipper Angelo Mathews.
India's batting domination has been eloquently clear in this competition. They have scored over 300 runs thrice in five matches, twice batting first.
Against the West Indies in a group B fixture, India easily chased down a 234-run target with eight wickets in hand and in a rain-hit game at Edgbaston, dismissed an off-colour Pakistan by an identical margin (D/L method).
Sri Lanka, by contrast, have got better with every game. After losing a low-scoring thriller against New Zealand at Cardiff by a wicket, Lanka bounced back with a commanding seven-wicket victory against England at The Oval.
The Lankans did have some anxious moments against the Aussies but the 20-run win would have given the islanders a big shot in the arm ahead of the semis.
India's batting revolves around a clutch of young men like Shikhar Dhawan, Kohli and Karthik, who have taken the world by storm with their euphoric stroke-making and natural belligerence.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, continue to profit from salty old pros, who still swear by the old charm of silken touch and classy stroke-making.
Sangakkara proved that against England with an unbeaten 134 that had grace written all over it. And Mahela Jayawardene showed why he is still an artist with a compelling flow, scoring an exquisite 84 not out against a desperate Australia at The Oval.
Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Tillakaratne Dilshan are central to Sri Lanka's batting and with several young and explosive youngsters like Lahiru Thirimanne, Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal packing the middle order, the match against India should be a contest between quality batsmen.
A fresh new track has been laid by the Glamorgan ground staff at Sophia Gardens for the semifinal. Chief curator Keith Exton says 280 should be a par score but 300 will be very safe.
With overcast conditions expected on Thursday, the seamers should get early advantage but batsmen who have been patient and respected the conditions have stood to gain in this Champions Trophy.
India and Sri Lanka clashed in the Champions Trophy final in 2002 in Colombo, not once but twice. On successive days, rain played spoilsport and for the first time in the history of a major ICC tournament, the title had to be shared.
But come Thursday, neither history nor the result of a warm-up game will have any consequence. As Jayawardene said on Tuesday: "Warm-up games or whatever, it doesn't count right now. It's a big tournament. It's the semifinal...I'll be desperate for every game to win, (as) simple as that."
Hot and happening India are equally desperate and will match the Lankans, eyeball to eyeball for sure. The battle lines at Cardiff are drawn.
