Dhoni wants to relieve his wicket keeping duties...
Its for a reason that he is trying to come in as No 3 and project him self as a front order batsman..
Dont be surprised is Karthik makes his way inplace of one of the bowlers (someone who would have been most expensive previous games, so that no one would complain)...coming games.
For me Dhoni should come No 3 only if Gambhir gets out..or in other words whenever Gambhir gets out, Dhoni should step in.. Him and Gambhir, both who can play acnhor roles really well, shouldn't ideally bat the same time.

mate this is 2020 no need for anchors role like 5050, if you see the super8 match of NZ against Ireland, there were no anchors if you do it NZ might have landed around 150 but the scored almost 200 that is the way it should be, who ever have come scored quick runs!!

i agree with you mate. do you think dinesh karrthick has been wasted by coming to engalnd. in this team i don't think he will getting a chance unless some batsman is injured in a bad way.

I disagree, Dhoti should come after Zaheer, he can take single to Ohja and Ishant and they can hit boundries
I storngly feel Dhoni is coming in at No. 3 to staisfy all the sponsors who put him in their advertisements and he has to show is face in TV in action. He is doing too many nowadays. SATURATING. It is like how much screentime an actor gets in a movie and is see by all. If Dhoni comes in No.5 or 6 in T20 no TV viewer will see him enough (or may not see him at all-innings/ match will be over by then) on TV in action.
If you notice he has brand new pink Reebok logo on his bat and he appears in a Reebok ad with Bipasha. I hope all this nonsense doe not cause problems within the team and affect good decision making.
Let him make all the money he wants but not at even a fraction of what is good for the team and country.
I can't think of any other proper reason why he does this again and again starting from CSK losing because of this. He comes in at No. 3 saying he needs to consolidate when:
1) there is NO batting collapse or crisis
2) there is already someone playing anchor role in the middle
3) Dhoni knows he is not in form and can't play big shots
4) far more clean hitters in their regular slots waiting and don't get enough deliveries
5) all this shuffling makes other batsmen insecure

I bet Raina is going to be a faliure(God forbid), didnt get any time in the middle in 4 matches. No.3 is a very imp. place to bat. Raina was doing very well, untill Dhoni decided to do the superman act. Its going to be tough in super 8s. And thats why Dhoni is always saying he does not want to look ahead ie finals. So for us he gives an idea that do not be disapointed if we do not reach the finals. Any way good luck for our team, which is sometimes forgets they are playing for their country, good the organisers have introduced the national anthem before the match.

good jurdement mate.also whatever BCCI and Dhoni say, I firmly believe there is a rift between Dhoni & Sehwag.
TAMILAINS R NOT INDIANS. THEY R OLY TAMILIANS. IF SOME 1 WILL ASK THEM ABT THEIR NATIONALITY THEY WILL SAY TAMIL INSTEAD OF INDIANS. THEY R TROUBLE MAKERS CAUSE THEY THINK TAMIL IS ONLY D LANGUAGE IN THIS WORLD. U CAN C THAT IN LANKA N MALAYSIA N THEY WILL FIGHT WHERE EVER THEYL GO. IF U GO TO BANGALORE HYDERABAD U FEEL AT HOME CAUSE PPL KANNADS N TELUGUS CAN SPEAK HINDI VERY WELL. BUT WHEN EVER U GO MADRAS U FEEL UR OUT OF INDIA. NO 1 IS WILLING TO SPEAK HINDI. EVEN IF A PERSON KNOWS U DONT KNOW TAMIL HEEL REPLY IN TAMIL. SUDHAR JAAV ISSE PEHLAY ITS TOO LATE.

Senthil, What else can we expect from the by-product of a Sinhala mom (Ishika?) & a Punjabi dad? Lets not waste our energy preaching "We're one" to folks with this mindset.
