Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said Mahendra Singh Dhoni did most of the things right in the ICC World T20 semifinal, although the home team lost to the West Indies. "He (Dhoni) has been a great captain for India. Nobody is perfect and I think he has been great," Ganguly said at a panel discussion here. "We all wanted India to go to the T20 World Cup finals and win the Cup but West Indies and England are the two best teams in the competition. "This West Indies side will actually get people on the edge of their seats because of their power and ability," he added. Ganguly insisted that the team, which managed to chase down 193, deserves to be in the finals.
Dhoni is already a recipient of the prestigious Arjuna, Rajeev Gandhi Khel Ratna and the Padma Shri award.
