" MS Dhoni just lucky captain ": Gambhir...

Let check indian team odi record just before MS become captain

First official series was Ganguly as a captain in 2000 RSA serirs at home..& his last series was videocon trophy in zimbabwe

In 2000-05.. India won only one series at home against top 7...

Lost to Austrslia twice(one was tri series)
Lost to pakistan twice
Lost to wi once
Drew with England

Beat RSA

Outside home they won 3 series against top 7....

So overall in 6 years they won just 4 series against top 7

In 2005 Dravid Become captain & he won 4 series at home & 2 in away

In this duration (2000-07).. India played 20 odi knockout...out of them won only 5

They were in no7 in sept 2007, when Dravid resign from odi captaincy...

Yes MS luckey... They why not india perform better 2000-07??? Why they eliminated from group stage in 2007 wc...
