Mahendra Singh Dhoni's
one-match ban means the India captain will have time for an
introspective look as to where and when his Midas touch deserted him as
his team mates battle to avoid a series whitewash against Australia in Adelaide.
Dhoni, who will miss next week's fourth Test after the ICC banned him because of India's slow over rate in the third Test defeat in Perth on Sunday, has enjoyed a fairytale rise from the cricketing backwaters of the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand.
In what seemed like a storyline straight out of a Bollywood script, he led teams to Twenty20 (2007) and 50-over (2011) World Cup victories and oversaw their rise as the number one Test team in the world, thus convincing many he was India's best captain ever.
His unflappable leadership, as much as his tactical brilliance and uncomplicated approach, impressed most, including a management institute in his home town Ranchi which wanted to do a brain-mapping of the Indian captain.
