Sir can you list down the players who you think Dhoni backed and was undeserving ?

Both Dhoni and Kolhi have done horrendous team selections. But you have to give it to Dhoni that atleast he kicked out oldies at the start of his captaincy and got in youngsters who are the pillars of today's team. Kohli seems so F*cking reluctant to give more chances to youngsters and hell bent on giving chances back to his buddies and undeserving oldies (including Dhoni).

NO STATS CRUNCHING, iam going to list some ,he didnt back them though as he was exposed

here are some of his clueless selections

Vijay(in Odis in t20s) negi, tyagi, badrinath, gony,Vinay kumaar, Pravin kumaar, srinath the great arvind, ishant sharma, Stuart Binny,dhawal kulkarni, brainder sarn.. Etc. On top of it

This I agree with, dhoni actually did good job by kicking out some of the dead woods like bhajji, laxman etc. from odis, but kohli is turning out to be a coward by sticking with ttfs like ishant and not trying/giving confidence to youngsters.

Please include Sandeep Sharma, Karn Sharma, Rahul Sharma and Parvinder Awana, Sourabh Tiwari, Abhimanyu Mithun as well. 

Some really terrible additions to the playing eleven.

2009-12 was a phase when selection was done purely based on IPL - all names listed above were one match/one season IPL wonders.

I still remember people asking to include Swapnil Asnodkar and Paul Valthaty in the Indian team based on their IPL performance..

 

Selectors/captains realized the mistake over time..  happy to see that domestic performances are given great deal of importance in selections recently.

No captain works like that, that era is gone

How hard is it to accept a captain have wrong choices as well. Har baat men political angle kyun nikalana

Kohli has always loved match winners , now on outside dhawan n rohit are those but those are wrong choices in many ways. 

Kohli like every other captain has a style and that will have both sides of coin everytime.

Thats a myth that he kicked out oldies lol. Sachin did not want to play 2020 for India and Ganguly and co were on their way out anyway after shambolic 2007 wc.

 

Dhoni did want certain player and was assertive but something are just overe exaggerated, especially now since the events took place 10 years ago.

 

Dhoni in his tenure did not try too many things and was hell bent in trying same shyt. Kohli even though we all want him to try different things and hasn’t done enough, still has tried Siraj, dropped Yuvi, not picked guys like Raina easily over other guys etc.

 

You are comparing a person who captained India 10 plus years to Kohli who has just became captain Full time In all the formats. 

 

This new captain has already made few changes and given chances to many youngsters including like Chahal, Kuldeep ahead of Jadeja/Ashwin etc.

 

 

Things don’t change over night, but to prove your point, don’t make it sound as if past captains would make changes over night to give every youngster in India their chance. 

 

Kohli isn’t perfect captain but he has backed the right guys or most of the rght things are being done. He can not please you me and every ICF member everytime. We all like different players so he is not there to make all of us happy.

 

 

Live with this captain because he is going to be our captain for the next 5 years at least and I must say I rather have this guy than anyone to lead the Indian team.

Dhoni did kick dravid n ganguly........post ind-aus 2007 home series he understood that both are costing team in some ways.

IF u see ganguly had runs under him......only a captain strong word wud have gotten him out 

Gambhir n sehwag were dropped to

Yuvraj wasnt backed by him much post his return 

Bhajji wasnt backed either much once he was done

He did try new things 

Top of my mind- 

Rohit an opener

Jadhav a part time bowler who didnt even bowl much in fc cricket

Gave fielding a lot of emphasis , virat did mention in his interview how dhoni wanted to make india the best fielding side

New players were thrown in deep situation like pandya n joginder bowling last overs. 

 

About yuvi being dropped, he shudnt have come back in the 1st place .

Tried siraj, we all saw how poorely has kohli backed pant, rahul in LOi , even siraj was dropped after one game, nair after making a 300 hasnt gotten backing

Kohli is a pussy while making tough selection decisions and strategies. New age India likes over the top aggression and drama on screen and he likes to cater to them in interviews with bhashanbaazi or showing OTT emotions on camera. Cringeworthy sometimes, but it sells nowadays with dumb drama-hungry people so in the end it doesn't matter who is selected or not.

Yuvi wasn’tpicked by Kohli when he came back, this has been discussed milliom time.

 

He was being picked under Dhoni when Dhoni was the captain and decided to hand over the captaincy to Kohli. Yuvi was out with injury and did not play the t20 world cup because of it in the middle and since missing that out, he kept going to NCA for rehab and was recovering to be picked for the Indian ODI team and was already in the selector’s scheme of things. However when he was dit and was getting livked, Dhoni decided to leave the captaincy. This confuses a lot of people but if you do a simple reaearch on articles, you can easily find how Yuvi is about to get picked for Indian team.

Everyone knew or had a feeling that Yuvi will be picked the moment he was available after injury since he was already part od Indian t20 team but got injured which even forced him to miss t20 world cup. So yes, Dhoni or selectors picked him. Kohli continued probably to back his selection once he was picked, and then got him dropped post CT.
