Dhoni and Toss

Just a simple observation......
If Recent results in Sri Lanka and T20 games in New Zealand are anything to go by. It clearly shows Indian team fortune's dependency on Dhoni winning the toss.
In Sri Lanka india won first 4 ODI and in all those matches dhoni won the toss. But in the last one he lost it and so did India.
Here in New Zealand, india lost both tosses and lost the games as well.

If You see the track record of Indian team under dhoni's captaincy and checkout the matches that india won or lost then most of them are the ones in which dhoni won the toss.

What i could conclude from this is that when india is playing in alien conditions then they have a game plan which is too much dependent on toss(implying "the better playing conditions").So if india wins toss then things are according to their plan but otherwise it's up to to opposition to force their decision and exploit the conditions and it is then that indian team's morale goes down.

Any Comments !!!!

Well, the logic is applicable to other teams as well isn't it? India wins the toss and hence the match implying that their game plan worked. It also means, the other team's plans were see-sawed after losing the toss. Hence the conclusion is "winning the toss" is as important to any team as it is for Indians :)
