SET Max, which will telecast the Indian Premier League, has unveiled a catchy promotion video. Like Twenty20 cricket itself, it is fast, frenzied, furious. But with so much stress in “Cricket ka Karmayudh” on power, colour, character, and confrontation, and the phraseology of war, you wonder.

On the CNN-IBN website, Sagarika Ghose compares Mahendra Singh Dhoni (the real one) with the Congress ‘s version, Rahul Gandhi:
“One is a representative of his undoubtedly exceptional family, trapped as well as enhanced by his surname, a member of a political party that is finding it increasingly difficult to open its doors to new young talent precisely because of its reliance on members of premier families. The other represents a family-less universe of talented individuals, who have clawed their way up through a tough system, who learnt to be streetsmart by the time they were adolescents, who had no doting fathers or mothers by their side and no cadres of family loyalists to ease the pain of daily competition.
“Two spheres: one, where sons follow their family businesses and take them to new heights or fail to perform. And another sphere that is steadily growing and proving far more seductive to the youth: where family and fathers and legacy are irrelevant. The only thing that matters is raw talent and luminous skill.“

Looks like Congress is paying heavily to CNN-IBN these days as Elections comes near.
There is almost no comparison between the two. There is only differences:
Dhoni is one who, without any influential family background came up the ladder and by luck he is the captain of the Indian cricket team now.
The other one comes from a family which thinks ruling this country is right which is inherited by his family.
Dhoni is the one who guided his team to success under huge pressure both occasions in 20-20 world cup and down under. He was cool and calm all the time.
The other one (Rahul Gandhi??) is the one does not have success under his belt so far. Lost temper most of the times and given statements like His family is responsible for ‘creation of Bangladesh’ for which congress has to defend itself.
Dhone is the one who is is a true icon for todays India’s youth as a story on achievement from Zero but the other one (RG) is an example for people who, without any self talent dreaming of success and relishing ahead on their fathers or family name.
