MS Dhoni Forgets how to play big shot.
He was taking single when team requires six and fours.
He completely lost his self belief that he can hit a six or a four.
He was giving strike to Yousuf pathan instead of hitting fours.
He is the biggest culprit of the series for indian loose.
When india requires his hitting ability he was not looking at all aggressive.
He was more keen to give strike to yousuf. That actually cause india a big disaster.
England smack champions India out of World Cup
London: England knocked defending champions India out of the ICC World Twenty20 2009 with a three-run victory in their second-round match at Lord's on Sunday.
India needed 19 off the last over to stay in the tournament but, despite a one-handed six by Yusuf Pathan over long-off, the task was too much and they finished on 150 for five.
The England victory silenced the large contingent of noisy Indian fans packed into Lord's and India failed to make the semi-finals after also losing their first Super Eight match against West Indies on Friday.
Off-spinner Graeme Swann captured the crucial wicket of Yuvraj Singh for 17, including two sixes, stumped neatly by James Foster.
Left-arm swing bowler Ryan Sidebottom, returning to the side in place of leg-spinner Adil Rashid, bowled the final over and was given the man-of-the-match award after capturing two for 31 from his four overs.
England lost Luke Wright for one in the second over after losing the toss and being asked to bat.
Ravi Bopara and Kevin Pietersen added 71 for the second wicket with Bopara hooking the first six of the match off Ishant Sharma.
Pietersen whipped Sharma through mid-wicket for four and moved down the pitch to left-arm paceman RP Singh as if he were playing a spinner to off-drive a four.
The introduction of Ravindra Jadeja's left-arm spin seemed to turn the match India's way. Jadeja bowled Bopara for 37 and dismissed Pietersen lbw for 46, trying to sweep a full delivery.
But five wides from Harbhajan Singh in the final over allowed to England to creep to 153 for seven, a defendable total on a pitch offering variable bounce.

M.S dhoni not only score run with poor strick rate but also miss a easy runout.
That cost india loosing a match.
Probably loosing world cup T-20.
His 11 off 23 balls felt like Dravid trying to save a game. Seems to have lost the art of acceleration

Current Match News
Here’s a look at the studs and duds of the day’s play:
India Losses their first super eight match against west indies
Rohit Sharma: Paid the price for arrogance. Forgot he was playing a genuine West Indian paceman and not a trundler from Ireland. Could have waited a couple of balls before trying big shots. Fielded well though. 2 out of 10.
Suresh Raina: Disappointed with the bat. Stood his ground after edging to the keeper when the catch never looked in doubt. Minus marks for sportsmanship. Great fielding though. The video of one of his saves off a Bravo shot is worth putting out on the net. 3 out 10.
Gautam Gambhir: Had a lucky escape fending off a bouncer in the first over against Taylor. Failed to take advantage though. Miscued a pull off the considerably slower Bravo. Being a senior player should have been more responsible since two wickets had already fallen. 3 out 10.
Yuvraj Singh: India’s hero no 1. Brought Men in Blue back in the game after the horror start. Without his stunning 67 off 43 balls, India would have finished around 130. 7 out of 10
MS Dhoni: Full marks for not turning up at No 3. But his 11 off 23 balls felt like Dravid trying to save a game. Seems to have lost the art of acceleration. Good captaincy though. Brilliantly used Yusuf Pathan to bottle Gayle. Smiled in the post-match interview. One point for that. 4.5 out of 10.
Yusuf Pathan: Sparkling camero. But should have stayed till the end after being dropped once. Bowled a spell that exceeded expectations. 7 out of 10.
Irfan Pathan: Failed with the bat. But turned his arm alright. 5 out of 10.
Harbhajan Singh: The three boundaries off the last three deliveries of India's innings lifted the team's spirit at the right time. A magical maiden first over. But little thereafter. 5.5 out of 10.
Pragyan Ojha: A score of 153 meant that every bowler had to be keep it tight. But the left-arm spinner was off the mark. 3 out of 10
Zaheer Khan: India needed its premier bowler to strike early. But he failed to lead from the front. 2 out of 10.
Ishant Sharma: Gave away 16 runs in the crucial 16th over. That really turned the game in favour of the Caribbeans. 2 out of 10.
