There is no replacement for Yuvraj, he is class apart BIGGEST MATCH WINNER in history of INDIAN cricket.......people find reasons to ratain ROHIT/Raina inspite of pathetic form so why not Yuvraj. You carry him in tough times he will not give you just matches but Wcups
Impact players like Yuvraj/Sehwag not just score runs they will bat opposition out of the game........people needs to understand scoring runs/wickets is different and winning matches is different skill
No body will criticize unnecessarily.Pl watch that match in finals against Srilanka when people were expecting Fire works from him we got only lukewarm water and hence was criticized. We only wish that he will not repeat the same at critical junctures in future.
Are all players treated in the same way? When most other players fail in a match they are side lined, why the preference then? IPL and World Cup are totally different issues.
No need to say anything about Yuvraj...he is great...actually its good that he failed in that T20 final...had he played well and India won then as usual credit would have gone to the most ordinary and luckiest captain Mr. Dhobi and with 3 world cups under his belt he would have been considered as supercaptain or greatest of greatest captain etc...there will be plenty of world cups ahead to win but dhobi winning one more would have been be too much for his limited abilities and so in a way I thank Yuvraj for winning 2 world cups and taking one away from Dhobi...

when you play for the country, its the winning instinct that people appreciate. Dhoni only plays to win for the country with whatever skills he has..but If players like Kohli,Ghambhir, Yuvraj play for their own selfish reasons..we will hate these players.

Mr.VK, just one bad inning and you started feeling that Yuvi and others are selfish and started hating them ?? Is that only Dhoni who plays for win ?? who won all these titles for him ?? You guys will never critisize Dhoni for his major mistakes and arrogance he is showing now a days but hold others responsible for the defeats...thats why I wish Dhoni shouldnt win any more title henceforth

Arrogance is sometimes a necessary attitude to help win matches and lead but not performing after you are selected to represent India is close to a crime. No one will support Dhoni blindly...there is no reason for it..If he does'nt perform he should step down...In fact I beleive he is becoming a defensive captain in test arena and should either reanalyze his tactics or step down.

He fails when it is needed for the country, and he peforms for gully cricket and sponsors. Still he needs to be criticized because when there are N number of players wanting a place, you need to earn your place and not stay there on sympathy votes.
I don't think genuine critics doubted his capabilities. If you can gleefully accept accolades on good performances, you should be ready to accept criticism as well. Also note that all the criticised cricketers have not delivered after criticism. There could be exceptions. But exceptions can not be made rules, especially when we have other capable people too.

Even with this form, I sincerely doubt whether he can play against international bowlers of Malinga,Herath and so on. Let him hit a six in Malinga over, then only I can believe he is class or whatever.
