Dhoni's candid talk
by srirama chandra rao on Oct 19, 2015 07:43 PM

What Dhoni says is makes sense. Only thing is he should not try for frequent changes in the batting order. Having won the second ones, he should have continued with the same batting line up at least for third one to see whether it can stabilise as he got his own thinking in sending Rahane at No. 3 and Kohli at No. 4. When Kohli is batting at No. 4 he can easily bat at the same position in ODIs also. When he was not sent at No. 3 somebody says Kohli is protected in other matches abroad earlier. Atleast in the fourth one he should stick to a plan. but Rahane cannot be scapegoat always. He should be sent either as opener or two down

Raina is in the team only because of Dhoni's politics.

He is backing Raina just like he backed Ravindra Jadejs but what happened with Jadeja? he eventually had to kick him out for non-performance. Just because Raina is CSK team-mate Dhoni is backing his failures but the same Dhoni, for some inexplicable and weird reasons, changes the in-form Rahane's batting order or un-necessary scrutinise him for his strike rate and all, despite Rahane's consistent performances.
Dhoni is clearly doing politics.
