The tradition of Mahendra Singh Dhoni to select useless players that are his favorites continues under Virat Kohli. The selection of Pujara and Pandey in one day internationals would have put India in a better position. Every one knows that Raina is a bunny on bouncy tracks and Bhuveshwar Kumar does not have the pace to be counted at the international level.
These present bunch of mostly good-for-nothing players are promoting each other and building a wall around themselves so that no new players and no really talented players gets a chance. Imagine the morale of the player like Cheteswar Pujara, who might have been so much pained for making him sit for all the matches, and it is the fact that no one is match for this talent in the present lot, except Ravindra Jadeja. I think it is politics everywhere in the team and the spectators are just fooled all the time.
it is easy for the shorter fellow to accuse others as he pleases. i am asking him how much he got from dhobi to slam kohli ? when he is the captain why these fellow entertained Viswanath, venky ,patil while he ignored players from Tamilnadu ? let this foooll realise his sins & then preach others ? his biggest sin he dropped Kapil for one bad shot ?!
Not a big fan of Gawaskar as cricket commentator, I do have to agree with his observations here. This trend started ever since Dhoni became captain. Dhoni seem to have picked his favorite, but incompetents, over the more deserving players...

most of the ppl of this forum wud agree with sunny on this... since it was dead rubber, India could have tested the remaining players as the result wud not have mattered much.
India is good for nothing,,,,,, Dhoni , Yuvaraj , Raina , Ashwin , Vijay , Nohit Sharma , Isnot Sharma must leave from team india along with coach fletcher and booling coach joe dawies the police man
Yes for once SMG is absolutely right in his views on the omission of Pujara & I Pandey for the last match of Asia Cup Vs Afganistan. The "Think Tank" should have tested their bench strength against the minnows!!!!!
The bench players are most unlucky if they dont have the backup from management...if team wins they will say that dont want to change the winning combination and if it loses they will say they dont want to risk by going for a change....Sunny is right ...if they don't change the team for such an inconsequential match then when will they change...
