His personal performance everywhere is good . Let it be SA , NZ or ENG or at home . His captainship is excellent .
What will he do if all others , specially bowlers do not perform & can't take wickets ??
Should he remove his gloves & start bowling ??
MSD's & Kohli's personnal performances goes in vain due to other eight-nine non performers .
This is a team work . No individual can win matches for the nation barring one or two.
So its sheer nonsense in accusing DHONI .
I'm not a fan of MSD or Kohli , but above sentences are facts .
It's because of MSD , we are at least winning at home . Remove him & we will see similar fate even at home as seen overseas . Does anybody wants to see that ??
India is suffering from bad politics and money game played by Srini. Dhoni is not a great crickter, but one of the best oneday player. But he plays in the hands of Srini to keep his captaincy & other interests. by doing so he is destroying the team india.
but i am not against those persons who wanted to make kohli the test captain of india. but some north indian polititions wanted gambheer as the test captain.

ghambir not at all good for playing test cricket. but he is the 2nd best batsman of india in 50-50. if we make gambheer the captain of test cricket or any format the team will split in to sevaral parts.
I would bet India will not even reach semi-final as the pitches does not support our world's best ever spinners Sir Jadeja and Ashwin .At best the opponents have to be patient - every one must have learnt the lesson .With proper preparation SA,England Australia can beat India in India like England did !
what rahul is telling,post ENGLAND & Australia tour....DHONI will not have choice but to step down....as we will be given thorough dressing down from both the teams !!!!
He needs to be sidelined from test format even as a player.He can at best be captain for ODI & T20 till 2015 to possibly see us being eliminated from qualification round with present set of players.

that dhoni needs a rest somewhere i agree...he certainly is overburdened playing all matches in all formats eveyrwhere...
but he is a good test player even if he is not made a captain...his stats clearly show he is india's best wicket-keeper batsmen till date...
just because he does not seem to have a technique does not mean anything...many times he bats better than batsmen with better technique than him...temperament and attitude is more important than technique...
with whatever technique he has he still has better stats than many specialist batsmen who have played tests for any country... not only india...

You need to be sidelined for your warped thinking..He is the best we have got of the current crop and he is working on his combination. Do not underestimate Dhoni. Anyways it id beyond your capabilities to understand so I will not bother to explain

I sometimes think if you really know reading the whole picture than cribbing on words..
OK, take time and read the article fully and then express your displeasure at us (Dhoni haters, as you term us)..

Vaidya, You either right these comments solely to be seen different or your knowledge of game is restricted to current set of players.Dhoni is a reluctant test player & that shows in his approach as captain as well.his inability to go for kill emerge from lack of self belief & judge the game in this format.He is certainly one of the best captain for shorter format & finisher.

It is only that SV hates people saying anything against Dhoni and such people are automatically termed Sachin fantards (he has done that many times before). MSD needs a few more faithful "fans". :)
