Well Dhoni manupulated well. They will play against Asian teams who are not as strong as compared to the others. So team dhoni can win straight and create a statement that they can win without class players. But interesting will be if they lose to win the tournaments.

Mr. Politian stop cribling for dada (or region as a whole - bengal) with due respect to the great w.bengal you should rather give a impartial look of the sport and do judgement.

then tell me why is uttapha, raina, Sreesanth, RP Singh are in the team. how good u think they have played in last years. so my suggesion to u, is that which ever cosmic region u are coming from dont lick the feet of dhoni. He wants to be the boss of the team, above everybody, just like ganguly was. but wait and see how long he sustain that. As class goes on but not hair style.

Superb Comment - Class goes on and but not hair style, because, hair style can be removed by even a Barbar! At the same time a Captain should be given his team, who will listed to him. Take the case of Dravid.when he was the captain very few listed to him, which ultimatley made him to quit the captaincy.
what has raina or utthappa done in the latest IPL series .. they might be good .. but currently not in form ... why not pick people who are in form ... shikhar dhavan and some guy called venugopal were better !

if Piyush Chawla and pravenn can find a place in the Team.. y not Raina played better than other Indian batsman
why is praveen kumar picked up ahead of Goni. Only against teams like Bangladesh will young faces get a chance to experience the international scenario. Praven has been performing very badly and should left out.Atleast selectors have done well by not picking the oldies in the team. I would have had Parthiv as the w.keeper and allowed Dhoni to marshall his young side in front of the stumps .

praveen is a wrestler ... if he can't take wicket .. he will be asked to slap the opponents (a la harbhajan) to ensure victory !
Shikhar Dhavan has proved himself better then Uthappa. Uthappa failed not only in IPL but his overall performance down under Ozzies was also far from satisfactory. Is he getting favour of being loyal to his captain.

Very good assessment. Unfortunate players should have been included

I think shekhar dhawan the most unfortunate among the unfortunate, after giving such a performance if one doen't get chance it's unlucky, hope that he will not let himself down and maintain these form to get chance in future. I feel very sorry for him.

Yes I agree. M Gony is another player who has given decent performance in IPL.
I think performance should be the only measure for selecting players...what is the performance of P Ojha in IPL..? Same for R P Singh..since RP is Dhonis favourite thats why he got chance..the team should include venugoppal rao..also why parthiv patel is not there..Dhobi is demolishing every opponent...

RP Singh shouldnt have been selected based on recent performance. He has been giving away lot of runs and his line and length has not been consistent. Gony or Yomahesh might have been considered ?

RP Singh took a lot of wickets for deccan . If you dunt know the stats then quietly shut up

But he is also the most expensive bowler in the whole tournament. Run rate is very crucial in T20 and he failed to stop the runs. He was persisted with only because DC has a poor bowling attack.
