And people call dhoni legend

 

Not even i same bracket as a gambhir, below zaheer khans and bhajis as well

 

Must be the most over hyped player in cricket history

Dhoni is still a legend, no doubt. Emergence of Pant does not demean Dhoni at all.  Pant might become better than him one day but Dhoni will still be a legend.  Dhoni is the first WK/Bat from India who you could count as an alrounder and also inspired the future generations of WK/batsman in India to be more ambitious with the bat.  Dhoni's contribution is not just runs but the impact he made on future generations of Indian WK/batsmen.

His only thing was first decent keeper who could bat

 

But he did piooner jack.  Kepper/bats norm all over world now and we woud have been same.  Bang average test player, Yuvraj was better test bat and that says it all!  Good odi player but for me need to do in tests if want to be legend

 

ps Pant alrwady is better then him.  Dhoni could never score tons overseas like pant already done

How keeper/bats are norm all over the world now.  Australia are still struggling to produce a half decent wicket keeper/bat even 10 years after Gilchrist retired. SA got their first real wk who could bat in De Kock and even he averages 36.  It is not easy being wk and still bat like a batsman in test cricket.  it is a thankless job of keeping 100 plus overs and then bat too. 100 overs means 600 deliveries, 600 squats.  There is a reason likes of Sanga and ABDV quit wicket keeping and only concentrated on their batting.

Who knows Sheldon Jackson who averages 50 in FC and is keeper/bat in Ranji for last decade or so.  Maybe if given a go might have got a ton outside asia lol

 

Thats how low dhoni achievemnt in tests are.  Some guy in ranji I would have backed to better lol

Sheldon Jackson does not keep.  He is a part-time wicket keeper like Rahul. and have you even even seen him bat? He is good again spin but very average against anyone bowling over 135.

havent we tried other ranji keepers

Parthiv n karthik pile on runs in ranji n both have gotten chances post dhoni retirement and what happened

 

Patel dropped so many catches in Sa, his WK basics are so bad

Karthik feet froze in england 

Saha has been playing since then 

Naman ojha....who had 1-2 good yrs and since then has bee avg

Unless MSD scores a ODI/T20 100 in Aus, NZ and later in Eng during WC, he will retire with ZERO 100s outside Asia across formats.

 

Pant, the ‘hack’ in his first year as international cricketer has scored 2.

So he as zero tons outside asia in white ball cricket as well.  So easy to be called a legend these days
