Yeah I agree, I think this is where his style of captaincy came up short. He was very detached, maybe too much by the end. He just let games pass him by because he learnt to be emotionless. We started off okay and then by the 2nd or 3rd tests we weren't even turning up and that was reflected in how Dhoni lead the team. He puts trust in players and waits and waits to seek the initiative.
You know with Virat every loss will hurt him, well I hope.
