It is only media that keep bringing their name to prove a point that is not exactly cricket.Why is Dhoni not willing to try Binny,Pandey & Raidu in place of Ishant,Rohit & Jadeja? Why is he fielding after winning toss?Is he not being too defensive now?
continued in the Indian team as a mere passenger for nearly three years before his retirement.He was neither taking wickets nor scoring runs.But that was at least KAPIL DEV.
It is true that the Sharmas are not doing well in the international circuit but they continue to get the support from Dhoni. It is also true that Dhonis backing of youngsters really paid him but these youngsters are liability. Not far off Suresh Raina. He is not consistent but he is partner in the business with Dhoni. Selectors should put their foot down and remove these blots from the team. We cannot say the same about Jadeja, he is learning and also performing. He can still be continued.The Sharmas should be removed ruthlessly and immediately alongwith Raina.Horses for courses should be the policy.Dhawan should be given some more chances as he has done in the past some mindboggling innings. But the abovesaid 3 should be thrown out immediately if India to fare better.They can fail by inducting some new facesa as they may be future assets.

Fully agree. In fact, those new comes in the benches are in no way worse these seasoned players. If naything, they would only improve with a few outings whereas these senior players, despite playing so many matches, have not improved. Ishant in particular, panicks when somebody starts blasting his bowling and this is clearly visible in his body language.
