Cricket is about money. Dumping Dhoni immaturely would be like dumping extra cash you could have earned. I am pretty sure his brand value is big enough for him to continue on playing. 

Just ask him why sachin played that long ?  dude has new rules for new people

we need his experience + he can bat.

Everytime in WI you see Dhoni playing you need to ask the question why Indian cricket does not progrees you have the answer. he is a parasite at this stage.

Someone is scared that if Pant does well with one opportunity then they will be forced to drop Dhoni.

Opportunity to milne do pant ko .I guess kohli of all people is more afraid of this fact that he will have to drop dhoni if pant gets a chance.

People overreacting. Dhoni was never known to hit the ball from ball 1. He always takes 15-20 balls to warmup before start accelerating. Today, he anyway only got 13 balls to face, scored 13 runs of them. No big deal.

Actually, it is. He got simple full tosses which he could not even get a bat on or was defending them. It's not like bowling was threatening at all. SR of 100 in last 5 overs is very bad when facing club class bowling.

Dhoni is the main guy who's is leading on the ground... Kohli is just a rubber stamp...

 

Hence Kohli will need Dhoni atleast for sometime...

This is the sad fact. Entire CT you could see it. You also can't blame kohlis new captain needs time to settle. 

 

Lets look back at dhonis captaincy he had sachin Rahul vvs yet he was wiped out 4-0.

i want to ask dhoni fans if they still support dhoni being in the side,what extra he is doing that any other batsman cannot do

his wking still excellent but team should be ready to scarifice that and move on

dhoni was once chase master ,great player but now he is past it and bowlers bowl to his weakness making him look worse

he now looks comfortable batting 1st but i dont trust him to chase anthing close to 300 now

Dhoni's lowered your expectations so much that you are content with a run a ball.

 

In reality he's done. Hand eye coordination is fading rapidly and don't have the luxury in every game to take 3 overs to play yourself in.

 

The game has moved on, Dhoni has not.

Yup.. Dhoni is needed.. for stability, for sanity in big tournaments.. but big tournaments are long away. We should give other players chance now.. But Dhoni will quit on his own i am thinking.

Till when do we hang onto dhoni? 2025? Why not bring kapil dev for stability? Did we win CT with dhonis stability.

We won 2013CT  once we removed that 39 yr old budda 

 

35 is no harm as long as his fitness is good

He's too cool. So cool that when the axe approaches him it completely freezes and shatters on contact.

What the hell is this stupid argument I keep hearing that Dhoni is still amazing with the gloves....ok first of all the guy is playing as an allrounder because he bats at No.5 which is a critical position. Which means his batting is as important as his keeping.

 

Now isn't  it a common knowledge that Saha is the best wicket keeper in India at the moment?

 

so if Dhoni needs to play only for glove work and that is our only expectation than why not go for the best?

 

BTw I am not advocating for Saha in the LOI team, just pointing out the obvious.

 

so if Dhoni keeps taking up the no.5 spot he better perform or get the hell out of the team...in fact he should be axed but since it won't happen, hope he realizes as quits himself.

Saha's LOI record is very good (even more so than his FC record).

I want to see Dhoni being given a much longer run. But, since I like Saha (in Test), I should point out that his sample size in ODIs is very small. Until Dhoni scored his wonderful debut 100 against Pakistani, he had a very poor start to ODI career as well. Again, just to reiterate, I am not advocating dropping Dhoni in place of Saha (or anyone else, except perhaps QDK).

Dhoni scored 148 in 5th match he was given against PAK
