Why? Why?

What a forgettable night it was.. Chasing 150 odd runs, the tournament favorites succumbed to pressure, stumbled against short-pitch bowling, and were stumped out of the tournament.. Sometimes, it's not the match loss that hurts, it's the way a team loses that hurts so badly...

The team required 15 from 3 balls, with Yusuf on Strike.. He hits a straight six, and it comes down to 9 from 2 balls..

Yusuf slogs the next ball, but it's all along the ground, and dhoni doesn't take the second run.. which means india needs to get 8 from 1 ball.. Now this is what has irritated many of the fans... If dhoni had taken that extra run, it would have been 7 runs from 1, and if theoritically we are still in the game... His mind had conceded defeat already!

Dhoni might be bombarded with many such questions from media, it might be difficult to answer each and every question... But I hope he remembers that

"Real Glory is not in never falling,
but it is at every rise, when you fall"
