Going by win nos. Dhoni has been the most successful captain of India.His aggressive batting and a decisive finishing batting played a major role in his success as one of the best captain especially in the shorter formats.However after his retirement from test cricket his batting has taken a serious hit so much so that he is unable to connect the bat with the ball properly.And even when he connects he is unable to middle it with the ball scattering around not going to the intended direction or gap.In a way he has completely lost the natural 'rhythm' and 'timing' of a prolific batsman he was.These days his batting stance looks very awkward.Main problem is he is not prepared to accept the problem making light of it making sarcastic comments.Unless he accepts these problems and practices hard in domestic circuit there is no chance of his getting back the batting proficiency . Thus once he is unable to lead from front with his batting he will find it difficult to earn the respect of his players to lead the side.Given this background it will be very difficult for him to remain as captain for very long.

Nobody wants to here how great was Dhoni in the past & how he won the measure tournaments & how impressive his record was.....We all know that enough.....but that was his PAST & we Indians have this habit of living in glorious past. The PRESENT situation is that Dhoni's record from last year especially with batting & captaincy outside India is pathetic & India must keep him out

He almost lost the match by playing inside 30 yard circle through out his innings, survived 2 close calls for lbw, a dropped chance were the highlights of his innings.When he cleared the fence in the last over it looked a fluke, he was putting so much of pressure on Manish Pandey by wasting deliveries during power play. Hope he realises and move out like the greats did under his captaincy, thats life in reality, Dhoni must be going through a period which happened with Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Lakshman who were pressurised to quit.

Ad. money spoils our cricketers.They become lazy and arrogant.Dhoni should on his own take retirement.

@ Mohan Singh, @ Mohan Singh,
If he has the potential, then why is he unable to score simple runs? What is the use of that potential if he is not performing? You said it right Cricket is a team game, so, when will he contribute to the team as a batsman or are we always going to rely on our top order batsman to sail us through or some poor young guy Manish Pandey to win us a close game from very tense situation? What is the responsibility of Dhoni as a batsman? as a captain? What was more disturbing to see was that, Dhoni could not be able to score even singles & rotate the strike forget about hitting fours & sixes.
When Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Sehwag, Yuvraj were doing that people were abusing them, now why people & our selectors are silent? Why they don't show guts to keep him out of T-20 series?
Dhoni's T-20 record as a batsman is even more pathetic than ODI & still we are playing him in T-20, keeping extremely talented batsman like Pandey out.
Why we don't apply the same policy to Dhoni as that was applied to Ganguly, SRT, Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag, Gambhir?
CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE SHOULD AND MUST BE THE ONLY CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF INDIAN TEAM AND NOT THE PAST GLORY OR STARDOM THEN ONLY WE WILL COME CLOSE TO THE TEAMS LIKE AUSTRALIA

Recordwise India is on a weak ground in Sydney. Out of the 13 matches played there since the 80s, AUS has won 11, 1 ended with N/R and won just ONE in March 2008. The victory was due to Sachin's 117. Let us hope luck will play its part for India.
india hope have benn torn mainly by the bowlers.they shoud replace bubhaneswar,umesh yadav,ishant.and main thing is india cannot handle the pressur given by the batsman as well as bowler in both direction.i dont hav any more word to say.....its such a same performance by an international bowler
Re: replace all fast bowler
by Against Pseudos on Jan 22, 2016 10:49 PM
Dude both side bowlers have been hit hard. Difference is that our bowlers are hit by middle order Aussies too. Theirs have to bowl to Dhoni. :-)
replace the player:- Gurkeerat Mann, rishi dhawan. add player:- aswini, sran(blower),manish pandey. do it. for last one day. field first. last batting. bcoz chasing for wining in last.

What a pathetic downfall of Dhoni as a batsman. Perhaps Sydney will be his swansong if at all played as weather may play spoilsport. If one observe, Dhoni puts on extra weight and not free hitter as he used to be as his legs won't cooperate. Losing this last game is really pathetic. Jadeja can't be said as all rounder as his batting is like tail ender. He is simply a spinner. Hope selectors will look into it. I am sure T-20 will follow same pattern.
Rediff/Media..Please don't start this topic and put pressure on Dhoni to retire.We need Dhoni in the team and he is the right man to lead the team now.
We lost the series in Aus due to Bowler's performance not Dhoni's.
