Where are the days of gentlemen like Tendulkar,Dravid & lakshman. These Gambhir's & Kohli's are still immature and how can we think of them to lead the squad in future. Or else Dhoni have to stay there for another 5 years as captain...
its all about Money not a gentle man game anymore...even One day, T20, Test cricket standards have gone down...IPL is just nonsence...so we have to put up with all this crappp
Dhoni was the captain of Indian team and was instructed to give Indian Chennai Super King players like Jadeja and Murli Karthik to be given more opportunities. Gautam was the first one to suggest that team selection was wrong. N.Srinivasan had Gautam replaced as vice-captain with Kohli. Viru also supported Gautam. Kohli should have stuck with Gautam. But Kohli switched sides for personal benfits. That is why Gautam has a lingering dislike of Kohli.
Likewise RR players are unwelcome in team India. Without Gautam/Viru in dressing room RR players feel like outcasts. Ajinka Rahana felt like a paraih inside the dressing room. Tendulkar took advantage and tried to act like a mentor. It completely devasted Rahane's mental state.
India had good results against Aus, because the coach was a dictator and thus players mental state was bad. When India plays champions trophy in Eng, then teast series in SA India will be pounded to pieces because all the good players will be missing and only average CSK guys like Ashwin, Jadeja, Murli Vijay will be around.
I don't blame Dhoni. I blame N.Srinivasan for this. And also Sachin for claiming to be a mentor to Rahane. Sachin mentally destroyed Richard Levi last year and now has destroyed Rahane. If Rahane hangs out with Shane Watson he can recover his touch.

Fully agree with you. Shrinivasan has special liking for Dhoni and that's why he was not sacked after the debacle of England. Dhoni had taken Virat on his side. But Kohli Should remember his days when he was mentored by Viru and it was only Viru and Gautam who had brought him to this side

seems it is stunts and also Dhoni already has captaincy, Kohli is younger than Dhoni so his competition are next in line like gambhir, harbhajan and sachin/sehwag are on way out...
North Indian especially Delhiites have good control over abusive language. There is so much of ego and easy mouthfull of dirt that when to the wall the language just spills over. They want only praises but just try to criticise and you will see their true colours.
