Champion Dhoni, Slams Hits Back, At Criticism Of His Captaincy, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday hit back at former cricketers criticising his captaincy in the ongoing Test series against Australia, saying that he was not bothered by them as he would get brickbats even after taking right decisions.

"At times I get it wrong and at times I don't get it wrong, but it's people who feel I've got it wrong," Dhoni said rather coyly to criticism about his captaincy from former cricketers.

Dhoni also defended Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma who were involved in unsavoury incidents with the fans and laid the blame on the aggressive behaviour of fans.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni slammed the critics of his team, saying that the World Cup triumph has answered them.

With the selectors opting for a spin-oriented side for the cricket World Cup 2011, former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday took on BCCI for omitting S Sreesanth from the squad.

"We have been hearing a lot of things during this tournament and so it feels great to win the World Cup," he said.

"I always wanted to give chance to younger players by sending them up the order. I thought, I would take the responsibility myself. It was more like proving myself and not to others,".

Asked specifically if the World Cup triumph was in a way telling the critics to shut up as the players would do their job with their performance, he said, "In India it would be very rude to say like that."

Dhoni admitted that he was not right all the time but the critics would comment otherwise even if he had taken a right decision. "You have to take it in stride.

It looks easier from the outside, it's easier to comment on decisions. More often than not, you see the result and then comment," he told reporters at the pre-match press conference ahead of the third Test against Australia starting here tomorrow.

"At times I get it wrong and, At times I don't get it wrong but it's people who feel I've got it wrong," said by Dhoni rather coyly to criticism about his captaincy from former cricketers.

180 runs was all that stood between India and a 2-0 series win. With the runs required from around 47 overs at a required rate of just 3.8 runs an over, the target which seemed very gettable.

But with three wickets gone for 86 skipper MS Dhoni and his troops went into defensive mode, thereby drawing flack from many.
