Dhoni is a true asset to the indian team and he has all the basics to lead the Indian team. He is a great keeper and a "solid" middle order batsman. He knows how to handle the pressure and how to bat according the situations. As said, Yuvraj needs to know his responsibilities and support Dhoni, who is backing Yuvraj despite his not-so-good batting form thru out the series. Lets wait and see what fate awaits the "new" Indian team in the years to follow under a new and energetic captain.

I wish England had someone of Dhoni's quality behind the stumps. He is an excellent keeper and batsman, and a great leader of men.

I think we Indians are quick to jump into conclusion. Dhoni looks ok but nothing as if to use superlatives..Lets wait. So many cricketers have shown promise, made enough money and logged out, without a trace.. Lets make sure first, that this guy is not one of them..

Dhoni posses excellent sportsmanship.Its a relief for Indian cricket board as we have been searching a consistent keeper batsmen for decades.I strongly feel that Dhoni has been given extra pressures and loads where he couldn play his natural game with extra power swing a typical Dhoni s game.Yuvaraj has to realise his responsibilities being a vice-captain for Indian team he should share lot of burdens from Indian ODI Captain.Its good to see that Dhoni has changed the Indian cricket in a different way handling young guns.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is an excellent captain. He takes responsility and has a very strategic ind. He is a world class wicket keeper and batsman.
