Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his bitter-sweet Test career

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Test batting was a lot like his captaincy; brilliant at home but brittle on tour. At his best he was innovative and effective but on tour, he could occasionally look fidgety and fragile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been absolutely schizophrenic during his Test captaincy career - brilliant at home but lacklustre on the road.
Because his best captaincy at home was so full of thought and tactical aggression it was frustrating to witness his worst efforts; on tour he could be illogical in selection, lacking commonsense in tactics and at times look as though his mind was off on a motor-bike ride somewhere in the open spaces of India.
