You have players like Yuvraj who is arrogant as well as incapable to play. Why BCCI is not sacking because they lack guts to remove him. If BCCI could have selected a better player than Yuvraj, we might have been in the Finals. Remove some of the team members like Yuvraj, Jadeja, Piyush, Zaheer and see how the team fares. Why should Dhoni take the blame because of BCCI wrong selection

At least Dhoni gives 100 percent on the field whereas some of the other players like Yuvraj walk to the field in a slumber and perish without doing too much. He should be retained as captain atleast for his commitment.

Commitment hahah he is more committed to IPL u can see his body language in IPL it was more aggressive specially when he played a blinder when CSK were going to be knocked out.

DHONI DID ONLY COMMITEMENT FOR IPL. HE CAN HIT MANY SIXES ON" DUSRE DHAJE" MEANS SECOND CLASS BOWLER. YUSUF PATHAN IS THE WORST PLAYER. HE HAD TALENT TO HIT SIXES ON "SMALL GALLI BOYS" NOT TO INTERNATIONAL BOWLERS. WHY INDIAN COACH NOT PLAYED UTTHPA SINCE HE SHOWN GOOD FORM...POOR SELECTION COMMITEE
His tactics were found wanting... his choice of final XI was inexplicable ina number of matches... he chose to bowl on fast pitches without playing his fast bowlers... his leadership role was invisible...
But , for old times sake, let us give him some more chances

Dont think Rediff is working for Dhoni. Rediff is actually working to save Dhoni's endorsements which would lose value if Dhoni loses captaincy. Thats a paid campaign from Rediff on behalf of the concerned business houses
Kick him out of the team. He has become bigger than the game itself. He had the audacity to skip Padma Sree award and shoot for an ad film. In world cup also, when all the former players were of the opinion that India should play a seamer in place of Jadeja, he continued to play Jadeja. He has lost the humility to accept mistake and learn from it. He should be removed from captaincy..

I too second the opinion that he should be removed as a captain. He could be retained in the Team. One should not forget his "roots" irrespective of the heights he scales subsequently. It is a matter of shame that he skippes Padma Sree award and shoots for an ad film.
Dhoni's shameful record 2009 WC-- first round exit 2009 CT---first round exit 2010 WC---first round exit ASia Cup---bad performance 2007-----won due to others performance
Dhoni is hiding behind performance of others like Sachin,Sehwag,Gambhir,Raina..if they fail Dhoni never performs in crunch situation ....
WC-07 was won due to efforts from unexpected players......For Dhoni..it was afluke
Captaincy to Dhoni was also fluke.....
Dhoni was given captaicy by corrput BCCI as a reward for getting rid of Dravid & Dada.
He inherited a team of matchwinners like Sehwag,Yuvi,Gambhir,Bhajji,R P Singh ,Srisanth etc which was built by hard work of Dada
In 2007 WC, Had Srisanth not taken catch on last ball of Misbah , we would not have won........All such players who won us 2007, were not given chance this time.....
Dhoni is Dhongi........ a clever natwar Lal
Make Sehwag or even Raina as Captain.......
Dhoni is creating problems for match winners like Sehwag & other better players in the team.. supporting idiots like Jadeja

1. Defeated Srilanka in Lanka by any captain (with 2 MoM and MoSeries in 5 matches) and again 2. in Tri Series. 3. Defeated NewZeland in New Zeland after 38 years (with 1 MoM). 4. Defeated West Indies In their home after 40 years or so by any Indian (with 1 Mom in rain disturbed 4 mtch series) 5. Defeated Australia in Australia in a trie-series by any Indian first time. 6. 11 test matches uninterrupted win since became captain a world record. 7. First T-20 World Cup. India has not lost any test series under his captaincy and most successful one day captain he is. Check your illogical reasoning and mind before posting such comments

Don't worry he will win the major World Cup next year (ODI 2011), don't bother about this minor one (T20).

boss if u r watching sports u have to be sportive...keep in mind india cannot win match everytime
Dhoni is pony ,insted of playin cricket thses guys r busy doin ads, preparing for IPL and god knows wats...just play simple basic cricket..and IPL is another thing that causing the harm..although we r enjoyin it,but we r payin high price for that..look at the pathetic conditons of the players after playin IPL..all have been given rest in the upcoming series just coz they had played too much cricket or shud i say IPL
pls do not experiment more . we can drop some players but as a captain dhoni is the right choice. after dhoni shewag is the best choice but dont give any extra tense to shewag,
