captain cool DhoniBhaijaan remains cool and calm and goes quietly. Only the man who did it will know the pressures of keeping, batting and captaincy. Despite a incompetent bowling and it's limitations,he did a reasonably good job in tests and remains a undisputed king in the shorter formats.
He has been playing non-stop and it was time he gave up test cricket and he did it at the right time when there was some alternative in Kohli. Stil, Dhoni will be missed in tests as a player. It's not going to be easy for Kohli in overseas though anybody can do well in home conditions.

Look at it the otherway. What if a few wickets had fallen quickly and Rahul came at #6. He would have been under tremendous pressure. Pujara,with his experience,came @6 and played about 12 overs which helped India in saving the test. For every decision taken,there will be some critic.

nonsense. if rahul does not know how to bat it is not dhoni's fault. Rahul is supposed to be an opener, and since dhoni did not want to expose him in australia they sent him at 6 in the first innings and at 3 in the second innings. He played like a fool and got out both times, stop blaming dhoni for that.
Dhoni is definitely a motivating captain. He has always proved his determination in critical situations. His decision is personal may not be good at this time for india.. He should have taken some tests more.

Dhoni hat off to you. Thank you for entertaining us. But Kohli is temperamental, I can not expect great things from him as a captain.
Dhoni's decision is at the right time . Saha and Sanju can fill in the role of wicket keeper batsman and they are young too. He is a great one day and 20-20 player and he should captain and play in these formats according to his strengths
