Dhoni is arguably indias finest one day batsmen and captain. Everyone gets slow with age and dhoni also has lost power. Besides the pitch wasn't one where batsmen could play shots. Kohli, karthik , dhawan all got out playing shots. The pitch was one in which you had to grind for runs and thats exactly what dhoni was doing. Dhoni has a different role now something similar to what miandad had during the later years where he held one end rotated the strike and asked youngsters such as inzamam to do the hitting. Also dravid did the same thing with youngsters such as yuvraj and kaif. Now we've seen dhoni has youngsters such as jadeja and pandya alongside him. Hence dhonis role is no where coming to an end till the 2019 world cup. Yuvrajs case is different he doesn't have the toughness and finishing abilities like dhoni so he has to score runs to remain in team

Agree with you. No prizes for guessing who was the chief actor in fixing was. You just have to check the accounts of a lady who was frequently spotted with Gurunathan Meyappan. I wonder why Supreme Court is hesitant to open the envelope and release names of the star cricketers involved in fixing!

This is high time to realise that playing with Yuvraj & Dhoni, and Rajendra Jadeja is a risk. Why a failure player should be tried again & again? Will Mr Virat Kohli answer now.

I agree. Why these wornout old horses for the team. Let us not bother about ranking or position. India has temendous bench strength unlike many other Countries. Let us try youngsters for the shorter versions keeping old guys for the Tests or to take care of their family at home.

He is struggling at the crease like a new comer. Let us also keep Dinesh Karthik only to play in Ranji Trophy against weaker bowling. He does not have international standard.
These types of results bound to happen in the game called cricket. Normally losing captain never face press meet. Any ordinary person can say shot selection was poor, Dhoni has played like Gawaskar (When first world cup match, Gawaskar scored 36 Not out playing full 60 over innings), Windies bowled well, executed their plans..... Is BCCI listening... Why at all we need coaches like Shastri, Shewag.... to say the same thing in English and Hindi respectively...... Better sense prevails.
