That's why he even owns the Chennai football team in ISL. Obviously hard for idiots to understand but that's understandable. You are deluded if you think Dhoni has connection with anything but money. Even the ISL was to exploit his chennai fans just like SRK does with Kolkata Shunya and Sidhoni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see how good the current team performs under young and respected captain Smith this year. Professional sport is harsh. One has to deal with it. Smith currently is a far better bet than Dhoni to get them any success. Dhoni doesn’t captain any team in any format (obviously because he is over the hill), so there is no reason why corporate owners will swear by him. Even Faf would have been a better option than Dhoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Srini will only continue to Benifit by associate with him. As of now maybe.... in t20 cricket who is a bigger brand than Chris Gayle?.. look at him today... by next year he will be out of even PSL probably. You can't take that for granted. Also Dhoni having emotional connection with chennai is a load of crap... he bought a team there because obviously a.chennai is a much bigger market than Ranchi and b. He thought like a corporate to use his brand which is exactly the point I am trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I compare Gayle and Dhoni All I am saying is Brand matters....if slowly Dhoni's aura is a player is going down....corporates will not use him...may be for nostalgic purpose may be one more year at CSK,if he doesn't pull up his socks he will be done soon too.

Or you seriously take fun posts about Dhoni screwing Pune seriously Dhoni is clearly having a negative vibe there...obviously it is the view of a lot of people....it is not tangible and we might be wrong but if a majority feel that way there must be something to it.....Now this negativity plus his own performances will not hold him in good stead no matter who is backing him at the moment especially if the person backing him is known to be a ruthless businessman.

Smith - 270 runs in 8 games @ 153 SR Dhoni - 284 runs in 14 games @ 135 SR Faf - 206 in 6 games @ 127 SR So basically 4th best behind Rahane, Smith and Faf. Who are the other batsmen? Saurabh Tiwary and Rajat Bhatia. KP left after playing 4 games. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
