IPL 2019: MS Dhoni is showing why he is cricket's best calculator

Cricket is a game filled with multiple calculations. In big tournaments like IPL, wise decisions win more matches than big decisions.
Of the 12 matches played in IPL 2019 so far, except for the RCB vs CSK and RCB vs SRH matches, the results of all other matches were unpredictable till the second strategic timeout. With the margins of victory being so small, there is a need for players who make the best possible decisions at the most crucial times.
CSK has been a hugely successful side in IPL because they have one such genius in their captain MS Dhoni. His latest piece of brilliance against Rajasthan Royals is a good example of his ability to make calculated moves in cricket.

He was so close to humans that they never referred him as a "monkey". He jumped, climbed ropes, frightened and amused children. Coins and currency notes were flying at him.

This is slowly poisoning the democracy and there is a big need to address the nescience of caste arithmetic among the Indians.  . Caste - Not a Haste:     Many electoral experts say that the caste politics is essential to lift the power of democracy. To an extent it has been the reason for the Indian democracy travelling so long. The book 'Modernity and Tradition ' says the caste politics have  bought equity among the members of different castes by reducing their distinctions.

Tamil Nadu people are in such a helpless state as a bunch of so called 'leaders' tormented the 7.7 crore population in their bits to bite the state's Chief Minister post.   Though the problem is solved 'Constitutionally', the problem is still alive 'Democratically '. In the game to choose the best among the group of worsts , there are only losers. Unfortunately the number of losers in this game is a whooping 7.7 crore! . Being happy with the elimination of the nastiest garbage among the choices, these 7.7 crore have to accommodate a different person, who has a different appearance, but the odour of the eliminated garbage.   The politics in the South Indian State have changed dramatically over the last 5 decades.
