F*ing Strike Rates. The one thing that even the most slow T20 batsmen manage to do easily-Score at even just more than run a ball.And we are talking about MSD-The so called best finisher in the world. The Krishna of RPS. Comes in the 15th over or so. Makes a mockery of Run-chases requiring 12+ RPO by Defending. The Other batsmen around him have to literally strike 3 runs every ball to make up for him. Moreover, there is no intent. He is coolly defending the balls in the 17th-18th over. Being Such a senior member,he has probably played the worst String of innings in the history of IPL. I sometimes doubt how this guy managed to do so well for India as a leader when he doesn't have the guts to recognize that he is screwing his team and that his days are over. I mean he should have at least done something. Maybe walkout 1 down or even Open (If there is no replacement available that is) . Stupid of RPS management to not have a WK backup option. If RPS do manage to not qualify as top 2(Esp if it comes down to NRR) then it will be this man to blame. And the big question-Does this guy really deserve to go to England? If he is in the team only for his valuable inputs that he gives to VK(Not denying it)...Better hire him as a consultant or a mentor. It is an eye sore to see him in this state. But but what's his strike rate between overs 16 to 20, that's what really matters sscomp32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sujithmb13 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 What is the guarantee that he will perform in ct.Even in his prime he didn't perform like bilaterals in ICC tournament.I really feel Dhawan or Yuvi will perform.Somehow in ICC odi tournaments they turn up.

It's always about others with you, isn't it? You can't defend dhoni without brining in others? You can't even see how delusional and blind you are in dhoni's love. What do others have to do with the fact that dhoni isn't fit enough to make it to the ODI team? You can talk about the others separately on who isn't good enough to make the ODI team,but how does the performance of others impact the argument that dhoni shouldn't be in the Indian team? All you can come up with in defense of dhoni is that others are also doing bad so why question only dhoni, well others aren't 35 year old has-beens with little chance of comeback to old form. sscomp32 and CG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so let's drop Kohli based on current form. Then what would you come up with? That he is our best batsmen, better than the "others"? That's the point. Dhoni is our best option by a mile in ODIs in the keeper-bat position and as a middle order batsman. So if you want him to be dropped then not a lot of "others" remain based on merit. Its all relative, batsmen like Gambhir are finding it hard to get back because others are proving to be better, he would've been ATG by now if he played for Pakistan or WI. Also go take a look at last LOI series we played in each format and look at the leading run scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he is our best batsmen, better than the "others"? I knew you would bring kohli here, why does kohli need to be dropped though? Is he as bad as a dhoni? Even in bad form kohli scored 3-4 half centuries in this IPL, kohli has been beasting it in the limited overs in the past 2 years, Dhoni should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Kohli, our Limited overs team is kohli or nothing, the fact that you even brought kohli into the discussion shows that you have no excuse left to defend dhoni, you are just blindly in love with dhoni and no amount logic and reason could penetrate your mind. What does kohli's performance has to do with dhoni anyway? Is kohli a 35 year old hasbeen? Quote That's the point. Dhoni is our best option by a mile in ODIs in the keeper-bat position and as a middle order batsman. So if you want him to be dropped then not a lot of "others" remain based on merit.

The fact you still believe that dhoni is the best option make me lol, it is not relative at all, dhoni has been a liability for a long long time, he can't score quickly anymore, he has to take time in the beginning which sucks the momentum out of the innings, he is not even close to being the best option. But in ODIs one could still tolerate dhoni to a certain extent, but the fact is that you want him to continue in t20I as well, there is no logical reason for dhoni to play international t20s, just accept you are a blind bhakt of dhoni.
