NEW DELHI, June 22: Mahendra Singh Dhoni knew what to expect before he walked off the field in Mirpur. He's captain of the limited-overs team in India, where cricket has no equal in terms of sports. He led the Indian team that lost a series for the first time in Bangladesh.

Critics and fans would inevitably be calling for his dismissal, so Monday's headlines weren't surprising.
The 34-year-old Dhoni seems to have lost the touch that helped him guide India to win three major International Cricket Council titles — the 2007 World Twenty20, the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. They're 2-0 down in this three-match series.
The Hindu newspaper ran the headline "The heat is on Captain Cool," while The Hindustan Times reported: "Captain going cold with both tactics and bat."
