this is a post i am sharing from a cricinfo poster---
Posted by Presynaras on (February 10, 2014, 9:58 GMT) @strokemaker11- That is a false understanding. Only 5 CSK players play for India currently. Dhoni has been India captain well before CSK even came into existence. Jadeja made it to Indian team, when he was playing for RR & tho he was avg initially, he is playing really well these days. Vijay was the second highest scorer for India last year ahead of Kohli, Rohit, Rahane & Dhawan & only second to Pujara. Ashwin was the fastest to 100 wkts in the world in the past 80 years. He is struggling abroad alright, but yet his contribution to team is more than 90% of the people in the team. He has played only 4 tests abroad, even Kumble & Bhajji struggled abroad initially. Raina was getting a lot of 30s & 40s & you asked him to be replaced. His replacements Rayudu & Rahane have been just as miserable as him with just 20s & 30s. At least Raina used to get quick runs, but Rayudu is scoring slowly in ODIs. I am not hating those guys from other teams. I will support them all. No preference for CSK

some other good posts from cricinfo site...
Here's a couple of valid points: The team that Dhoni is leading is not the one that lost 4-0 in Aus and Eng. This is a brand new and young team that came together at the start of 2013. Since then they have brought home the Champions Trophy, Tri-series trophy and series wins against WI, Aus, Eng and Zim. They have won all of their home tests, the highlight of which was the 4-0 thrashing we gave to Aus. We have lost 2 away tests out of 3. In two of those matches, we pushed the hosts to the edge. It is to their credit (Wagner, Du Plessis) that they didn't fall over. Did anyone expect us to withstand the SA bowling attack in Jo'burg and come out with a draw? No. Did anyone give India a chance after Day 2 in Auckland? No. They came out guns blazing and nearly got home. With experience, we'll get better. There is room for improvement, definitely. Look at what we have: fantastic FAST bowling prospects in Shami and Aaron. A brilliant fielder and spinner in Jadeja. Continued...
Posted by GreenBouncySpin on (February 9, 2014, 20:08 GMT) This might be India's 10th defeat in last 11 away tests. But we have to look beyond just the number of away defeats. This is a team with very young players. We may not have results to show that this team is better than the one which lost 0-8 against England and Australia. But believe me - this is far better, at least in the batting and fielding. The tests we lost to England and Australia were all one sided.
