is totally absurd. How on earth do you select Karthik? He can't be seen as a replacement for Dhoni because he is just two years younger to Dhoni. Even a person with average cricket knowledge would have gone for Rishabh Pant who is in much better form. At a crucial stage Karthik scores 2 of 19 deliveries and gets out?

at a crucial stage even dhoni got out leaving the last 2 batsmen but he should not be criticized
They played very slowly. Dhoni played slowly, Ajinkya Rahane played slowly. They should have played with more confidence. Virat Kohli is also to be blamed he should have send message to play fast. I dont know why he did not do it. Dhoni should use logic every time in last over they cannot do magic. It is very difficult. Iam upset also with Virat Kohli decision to rest Rohit Sharma.

Nothing shocking. They (the boards) want the series to be alive till last match, so deliberate slow batting. This is officially fixed by BCCI, so players have to follow. Nowadays all decisions are commercial, there are no ethics. Moreover, BCCI is so arrogant that it thinks it can call the shots just because of money. The arrogance is now percolating to the players...from Virat downwards....cost us the CT final because of this attitude.
This below par performance of India is unbelievable.Dhoni made 54 and folks blame him,,how about the captain and Shekhar and.. what is that fellow Kartik doing there

Beating ? the match could have been fixed to keep the series alive. Have we not seen such drama in the past ? These days it is disgusting to even think about the game.
