What are some things that you hated at first, but now love?
For me -
1. MS Dhoni
Reason - Indian media was calling him next big thing after Sachin. I always felt he is not worth Million $ endorsements. Later I realised I was just insecure Sachin fan, who was jealous of anyone approaching Sachin's fame be it Dhoni or Ponting. Now I can say he is best thing ever happened to India cricket, He is Kapil Dev of this generation. Cool, Calm, Reliable.
2. Ricky Ponting -
Reason - I hated Sachin vs Ponting Comparison in 2006, same insecurity mentioned above played big role here. Also at first I hated his cocky attitude. Now Sachin has reacclaimed his position, I m starting to miss Ponting of 2003-2007, He not only dominated bowlers, he humilated oppositions. eg. vs India in WC 2003 Final. About his attitude, I realised how badly I miss some1 with Pontings energy in Field for India, Win or loss fans want this type of attitude at the end of day from their players. Whatever he did, he wanted win badly for his nation. I salute this legend of game.
