SecondSlip Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't remember Dhoni ever winning a T20 match for India. If I'm not wrong, he doesn't have a man of the match award in this format either. He has only played as a supporter for Kohli, Raina, Yuvraj etc. which any young batsman from the IPL could do as well. His strike rate rate is also in the low 120s, which means that he isn't a player that will take the game away from the opposition. So what is so special about him in this format that makes him an automatic selection? Rasgulla, sergio04, rahulrulezz and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment

Laaloo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I can name 3 innings that he has played good but even in those matches he was the supporting actor. 2007 WC semifinal against Aus 2007 group stages against south Africa I think. That knock along with Rohit 2016 t20 against england. I don't remember anything else that was useful. SecondSlip, maniac, GoldenSun and 3 others 1 1 3 1 Link to comment

Vk1 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Most people including myself blame Rahane for that semifinal loss against windies but Dhoni too had an equal if not more share of the blame... He as a finisher had a strike rate less than Kohli on that highway pitch. He should have retired after that match. It's the brand endorsements value that he is still playing for.

maniac Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 David Johnson's phaaasht bowling career and his famous dismissal of Michael Slater deserved a movie and has more material than MSDhoni the untold story but unfortunately David Johnson doesn't have the brand value of Dhoni to be considered a Isupershtaaar Mosher, tweaker, speedheat and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Khota Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It is indeed a shame and nothing can be done about it. One way to solve the problem. Three formats, three captains. Link to comment

If there are three captains atleast some new players will get an op[portunity. There is no change in Kohlis thinking from CT. He is stuck in the mud for a long time now. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just too powerful connections in bcci . They petrified to make any calls on dhoni as they fear some public backlash or something whole thing is bizzare and sad G_B_ and Lannister 1 1 Link to comment
