How much longer will Dhoni play international T20s?

[Gollum 8,894]

Sucked in this format right from its inception, failed in every WT20 except that 2007 SF. Lost his team 5x more matches than he won. No wonder our T20 trophy cabinet is bare post the initial success. He will be touching 40 by the time the next WT20 arrives in 2020, how can anyone justify his presence in the team? Shouldn't Pant/Karthik be given a free run with the gloves?

 

MSK Prasad is a spineless worm, agree but do Kohi and Rohit have no vision? Where has their spine gone? No ambition to correct our embarrassing WT20 record? By all means let Dadu continue in franchise cricket but leave Team India the * alone. 

 

Trolling and banter aside, do CSK/MSD fans want him to continue till the next WT20? Seriously can't imagine people putting the interests of their heroes above the interests of the nation.

At least till 2020 WC. If Srini comes back in BCCI, wouldn’t rule out him being around till 2023 (WC in India).

[SK_IH 4,369]

Anyone else in place of Dhoni would have suffice.Imagine having Chahal in place of Dhoni today, sure shot victory.Ind had to fill in Dhoni into the XI and that disrupted the balance of the side.

 

[SK_IH 4,369]

Pant, Kishan both are ready and DK is in sublime touch in T20Is. Dhoni has no place in the 15 , let alone XI

[Jimmy Cliff 3,770]

Just 2 more games left.

[Stan AF 838]

2020 WC at the least. HES NOT GOING ANYWHERRRRRREEEEEEE.

[SK_IH 4,369]

Dhoni would have won Ind the game, if it was T-30

He's been disrupting the balance of the side since at-least 2017.

Lol yeah, abhi 2 games aur hain , hope he doesn't get to bat in those 

[bowl_out 2,303]

Don't worry.. He will hit Thisara Perera and Corey Anderson for a few sixes and look like a world beater in the IPL and everything else will be forgotten

[jf1gp_1 931]

i am waiting for the day when he withdraws his test retirement

[Nikola 2,037]

Was normal day in office for him. Blame goes to rohit for today.

[Cricketics 8,443]

Dhoni played well today. Had he played 4-5 more balls, our hope to win would have died much earlier than the last over.

 

 

[Nonbeliever 1,205]

Till he can come onto the field on his own feet.

India playing 3 keepers, two of them performing really well and deserve to be in the XI on merit as batsmen

 

Dhoni's batting is not even average, he is a bloody liability, can't hit boundaries, gets bogged down by spin and makes up for his shortcoming by offering nonsensical advice to bowlers after every freaking delivery!

 

He has been already exposed in ODIs but people have now tolerated him on sentimental value till WC 2019 but to play him in this experimental T20Is smacks of being selfish by Dhoni and lack of balls from selectors, captain and coach

 

The only things his pundits can highlight these daya is his adoring million fans and "ligthening" fast hands...those are enough indication to drop him

 

If Dhoni goes, imagine the possibilities...you bring in Lokesh, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hooda, anybody who has higher SR than Dhoni...you can even play an extra bowler!

 

Basically Dhoni fecks up team balance real bad

[The Dark Horse 2,801]

Dhoni wouldn't have played this T20 series, but if they had played any other keeper, he would have staked a claim in the WC squad. That's the very reason he's hogging onto the spot even in T20s - Which happened anyways. Both Pant and DK are clearly better than him in T20s. He should just let it go in T20s. Anyhow he's going to play the world cup as first choice keeper.

This cracks me up...commies going gaga after every ball when Dhoni giving "advice" to the bowler

Guys like Bhuvi and Kuldeep are established international class bowlers, they don't need bowling tips from a wicket keeper 

 

Dhoni has nothing going for him, so this one way to add value to the team

[velu 16,124]

as long he wishes to play   @Gollum

Time for guru to go into kids coaching where he can give his tips to hundreds of budding Bhuvis and Kuldeeps

[speedheat 7,323]

This team sill needs dhoni to guide and calm these youngsters. Look what one word of advice in last game did to pants confidence today. Before that pant was struggling in t20is.

Let these youngsters groom around dhoni. Kick midgets like dk out instead. 

 

[The Realist 4,405]

[Laaloo 14,100]

If dhoni retires, who will give the advice to our bowlers how to plot against the number 11 batsman?

 

Pant? Lol

[Norman 31]

He will be gone after the world cup. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Thats the problem. No one like disease while it lasts. They want to get rid of it ASAP. Dhoni is a disease at this point of time.
