CSK is a three member team Dhoni, Raina and Jadeja plus Bravo. All others are useless. Ashwin does not deserve a place in team like CSK. If someone wants ,like SRH or DD they can happily take him.
a captain who relied on luck always...but lady luck did not favor yesterday... he is blaming everybody for what reasons...he shud hav come to bat much earlier...and once the match was lost..he started hitting sixes...

YOU ARE RIGHT. His wrong bowling action is reason for his failure. He bowls openchested instead of side wise
Those we understand cricket , who saw yesterdays match ...it clearly showd that after 6 over 100 CSK lost plot and dhoni himself responsible. Why he always hide himself to lower order and expect rest team players will always to the 90% job and give him ready made winning plate in his hand for FINISHING job and become hero. Yesterday my respect for dhoni gone as he did not took responsibilty as it was high high time. Great effort ..once in life...of Raina wasted. Pitch was for 200 so no blame for bowlers as grounds are smaller in IPL. Dhoni himself not capabale to score faster as 54 ball 96 run was achievable in this format..so dont blame others. Truth is being most solid , powerful team dhoni lost when it matter most.Dhoni even not able to hit six when punjab provided opprtunity by giving spinner when he was batting .

Your opinion about Dhoni is wrong. There are regular batsmen like Hussy, Mcullm. Last pressure overs these can handle well as Dhoni does

no, i am at one with the opinion of alex. he has rightly mention that dhoni is a most selfish captain always hide himself at such a position where he can claim that there neither no partner nor enough overs left that i could do for winning. be it test, one day, or 20-20 match we noticed dhoni comes at 5 down or 6 down. and most of the time he usually scored between 25-55 and most of the time he left the field remaining a NOT OUT batsman in order to improve the average. his wicket keeping is poorest poor and not at all an international class.

Punjab was nothing special, CSK just gifted this game to them. Coach and captain Dhoni must be out of their minds to blow this game away. Raina just needed another 3 overs to bat and he would have finished this game instead they sent in the drunk dude from NZ who had no clue where the ball is.

Csk where whipped by shewag and unlucky for maxwell he was eating asswin fo0or dinner he alone wouldve scored 100
Dhoni is criticizing everyone for loss but what about his decisions. Why only 5 bowlers were used when there were 2 other bowlers in the team who have a good balling record like Raina and Smith. Nehra's 4 overs should have been distributed among the 6th & 7th bowler. McCullum was below average in earlier game why he was picked up in crucial game? Ashish Nehra was picked up on what basis? When Smith was out Jadeja should have been sent, why McCumullum was sent? When Raina was out Dhoni should have promoted why he batted after 5 wickets were down. Why Dhoni didn't try big shots when there was little chance of victory and why Dhoni started hitting sixes only when it was sure that CSK going to Loose. Does Dhoni has answer for this?
CSK does not have a good experienced bowler who could have guided the young players.Mr.Dhoni has to take some blame for his selection of the final eleven and the way he used his bowlers. Somehow Dhoni is happy with junior players than experienced ones.Bad luck to CSK and good luck tp Viru. He can play for one more year.
