velu Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Quote The current Indian skipper Virat Kohli has also on numerous occasions hailed Dhoni for his mentoring abilities. In a popular TV show, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandyaregarded Dhoni as the "better captain." https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/kl-rahul-hardik-pandya-pick-ms-dhoni-as-the-better-captain-1973129 i am wondering how few people here in ICF who gave some reason like peers usually pick their peers as the best when rahul & pandya picked virat over sachin as the bets batsmen will react Real McCoy, sscomp32, Rasgulla and 3 others 1 2 2 1 Link to comment

Indian Cricket team is like one big happy family. You scratch my back (balls) and I will scratch yours. so for you , people who give their opinion shld have played cricket before giving their opinion ? UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Indian Test team hit some new lows under the leadership of Dhoni, and calling him best has to be a joke. so kl rahul is sane or insane UrmiSinhaRay, Real McCoy and Vilander 1 2 Link to comment

speedheat Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Still doesn't change the fact that dhoni was the worst ever captain to lead India in all 3 formats, an absolute one trick pony who relied on doctored pitches and superstars, stealing credits. Dhoni destroyed and humiliated our bowlers. Dada was the best ever and kohli would go down as second best if he gets rid of his obsession of seniors and do something for the future of the sport in the country. raki05, Rasgulla and flamy 1 2 Link to comment

Dhoni still ahead of Ganguly in ODIs. In tests, I guess Virat will surpass all. velu, Real McCoy and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I agree that Dada is the better test captain of India but I don't agree with those who claim his record was spotless. He never gave credit to VVS and hung on selfishly to the no.5 spot. That should have gone to VVS even in Dada's captaincy. In some ways, Chappell showed him where he belonged and he came back as a better player. He also made Rahul keep wickets in ODIs. His ODI team always used to choke in ODI tournament finals except WC 2003 where India got manhandled. MSD was the better ODI captain ahead of Ganguly. Anyone who disagrees has evident bias and is probably jealous on behalf of somebody in the team. Even Sachin and the other seniors nominated him to lead. It wasn't MSD's decision to become captain. Also MSD retired from test cricket when he knew he couldn't cut it at that level and stick to ODIs unlike certain little master in the team Edited January 7, 2019 by Real McCoy flamy and velu 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 So you're saying he can cut it in LO? When in fact he's been laying unlimited eggs for better part of 5 years including the infamous choke job in the WC semis! He also ran away from tests since he couldn't handle the pressure nor deliver results, he didn't quit admirably if that's what you're insinuating! The likes of Swann have been called cowards for deserting the Aus tour midway, this guy was the captain Link to comment

Maybe you can pass on that message to him as well? Edited January 7, 2019 by Laaloo raki05 1 Link to comment
