Under MS Dhoni, India has suffered 5 straight series losses abroad.
Starting from 2011,
0-4 to England 0-4 to OZ 0-1 to New Zealand 0-1 to SA 1-3 to England again NOW and this is the most inglorious defeat ever.
An international team not being able to bat for 29 overs is a shame on any pitch and on any conditions.
The form of Murali Vijay, Ajinkya Rahane and Pujara dipped steadily, with all others hopelessly outta form.
MS Dhoni failed to inspire and his flawed selection policy, unimaginative field placements and his marked bias (as in persisting with Jadeja) have been cruelly exposed.
We need a change in leadership and and a team under Virat Kohli cannot do any worse than this.

Sorry, the full sentence is BECAUSE there is no alternative to Dhoni in fixing like BCCI wants.

Azhar was a fixer and so is Dhobi. It is BCCI to blame.. Nothing could be done until BCCI is completely revamped.
IPL needs to be scrapped and performance based incentive must be introduced on top of central contract.
Test cricket should be given top preference and wages of test match should be more and attractive.

Unfortunately that is not going to happen, unless PM Modi ji acts, hope he does.
Otherwise media pet poodles like this portal, will continue to confuse surfers by blaming Anushka, andersan, Kohli, the fog to the no chai in the morning.
These sources get sold out for just one free ticket or weekend party.
Mr Chappell, please everyone is aware how your brother was interacting while he was the coach of the Indian time and his policies, the worst and hopeless coach ever Indian team had. Also no one had asked to give your 'Valuable Comments', please reserve them to shower upon your home team.

But when this Chappel's brother helped Dhoni oust Ganguly he was greatest coach. GURU GREG, the media said!

No, do nothing support Dhoni, because it was Dhoni & Chappel who ousted Ganguly.
It was only after that where Indian cricket conquered overseas glories.
Ravindra Jadeja might, in fact is a very useful option for any captain in any limited overs cricket game.However, it is difficult to digest him in a test side,especially with scores of more talented players available in India.It looks more like there is a bias towards him.Any other Indian team under any other Captain would have seen no place for such a half-baked player.Test Cricket needs huge skills plus attitude.And on the skills side, Jadeja misses many a vital point.
Amazing.. I have been reading comments on websites about Dhoni and most bloggers are criticizing Dhoni. But I noticed that a few who are defending him, seem to be absolutely immature and retarded with their rational and argument. May be its Dhoni's paid PR crew logging in under differnt alias ad keep posting..
Anyone in right frame of mind can see that Dhoni is an incompetent test player and pathetic captain..
