Unleashed Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Excellent decision by RPS. Who knew that RPS management had more balls than the Indian selectors. Pretty sure some idiot will call me a Dhoni hater but he ridiculously underbowled Ashwin last season.

Not sure if management decided to take his captaincy away. Anyways, I feel he stepped down himself. He probably lost interest in captaincy just like he gave away Indian ODI captaincy too and wants to just play as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhoni has much clout and fan following in journalistic circle as well .They are trying to be respectable towards dhoni. Same as Cricbuzz.

Lannister Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 lol... Srini mama was shielding Dhoni's backside, and now he's been kicked out Dhoni has got no where to run to. It's good thing fans have started to realize his true worth. Number, asterix, New guy and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is.the last year for his team and him as an owner. Dhonis heroics in the last over of the last game was the reason Pune finished 7th last season. They would have been last otherwise.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Good call for Dhoni as a player. Now he has all the time in the world to concentrate on his game which needs some work now. Having said that what a bizzare choice for captaincy. This guy ran away last year ..... Ashwin would have been given a chance, would have preferred faf but i dnt think so he is avl throughout the IPL beetle, Cricketics and Rasgulla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goenka statements make it clear that Dhoni was sacked as a captain, Dhoni said he wanted to captain the IPL side just a few days back, this means the management were planning to sack him since last year but did not inform him till now.

asterix Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 RPS took the decision a year late. The team will definitely do better than last year. It was an important decision before the auctions otherwise Dohni would've screwed up the RPS chances. New guy, Lannister and Number 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laaloo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yeah he doesn't deserve a place in any other t20 team either. He only plays well for CSK. He has always sucked for team India in t20s. New guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putrevus Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 No offense to Dhoni but how much of the success of CSK has to be attributed to him and his captaincy.CSK teams were always loaded. Unlike Kohli who is leading with performances by being the best player on the team . Dhoni never was best player on any of the teams he led and yet somehow managed to be captain for so long and that is a great achievement.

PBN Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Don't worry. Even Tendulkar was dropped as captain. I think since Dhoni has given up LOI captaincy, this was probably why he might have given up IPL captaincy as well. I reckon it might be only for a year or so though. Nevertheless, he's still the most decorated Indian and IPL captain. Ironhide and Vilander 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
