Definitely they both are going to be gone.  And soon.  Timing will be tricky though.  And if I had to pick one out of the 2 first, then as much as @goose would hate to hear it, the first one to be gone should be Yuvi.   Head-to-head, MS vs Yuvi, if you want to keep one "experienced hand" around in the middle order, at least MS is a top notch 'keeper and his game management experience can be valuable to the team given VK's poor tactical skills so far.

And if you by the media coverage on him(Dhoni) or his fans meme.He is treated like a Martin Luther King or Obama.His photos,pcs,his so called coolness.His tips to Kohli(The most hilarious of all).Never seen a cricketer with such  a meticulously crafted PR image.Heck not even any athlete.

Hit the nail

 

amount of credit that Dhoni gets for any step that Kohli takes is crazy. It's like Kohli learnt how to poo from Dhoni too.

Can't expect sachchu to say these bold things... Only rd can..

For all the buildup dada gives about his machismo, he is usually silent about lifting a finger on the Indian players..

Not only that.His PR image is unbelievable.I rarely followed IPL this  year. There were articles after articles about how he ran faster than bolt,how his stumping is faster than light.How he made d vital suggestion to Steve smith.I thought okay he might be setting alight d tournament. Then I asked my friend about it who is a Dhoni fan.He said he has been terrible this season :P

Dhoni has tremendous fan following in south India especially Tamil nadu... Most of the memes you see on internet is by them... As you said his pr is top class and even the man carries himself like royalty with great dignity.

dont mind jaddu in the team ..

He has a brand value to protect. He can't say anything controversial. In the US, Michael Jordan is still the biggest superstar and he stays under the radar most of the time. He rarely makes any public comments, and stays away from controversial topics.

Thank you Mr. Dravid. I have been saying this before the selection and i was called a fool. Dhoni this. Yuvraj that. It is time to show them the door.

Post-retirements, Dravid has become more valuable than SRT hands down. When Dravid speaks you can be assured that he speaks that benefits Team India.

He has always been that. He does over

experiment a lot for DD which costs them a lot of games but he I still feel he will make a great coach of Indian team when it comes to 50 overs and test matches, may be not so much in t20.

 

His ideas aren't bad, he does back all the young guns.

Wrong Jordan is the biggest brand but Lebron is the biggest star and he does not stay away from any controversies. In fact he always brings "being black person in America" topic every now and then.

 

Lebron is running Nike right now basically on his own. He has a lifetime

mebership, yes, lifetime as he recently was contracted for life,

even post retirement.

 

Lebron James is America's biggest star and he doesn't give two hoots about controversies.

Atleast Dravid has guts to speak the truth. This is what most of us are discussing in ICF.

[Sujithmb13]

BTW the team was picked for wi before final.May be they didn't retire because of it.After the series,we might get a surprise announcement.

[Sujithmb13]

Lol at Dravid's guts and uprightness.He couldn't even use d phrase drop or retire.This is so diplomatic.

Do you guys really think yuvi will be persisted till 2019 by.he never had d privilege (in harbhajan's word).He will be dropped immediately after a flop series(Most likely to be wi series) and that's it.Dhoni only he can decide,They won't drop him.

Yuvi has been dropped before but thrashing domestic bowlers always brings him back. Selectors need to permanently close doors on Yuvraj and Dhoni.

Yes.Yuvi doesn't skip domestic matches and he scores  too.Hope he retires instead of being stubborn like this.
