If individuals are above the team then you have no concept of team sports.

 

Just remember there is no "I" in the team.

Indian cricket has always had cricketers who are elevated to a position that is perceived to be above the team.

India needs Kohli the batsman for sure, but far better captains can be found.

Tactically yes probably but even then there is no obvious candidate. 

But name me a player who sets an example as a sportsman who can not only inspire his own team with performances but also inspire younger generation with his fitness?

Likes of Sachin has inspired billions by just being a great batsman, one doesn't have to be a captain just for being the best batsman in the team.

He just consults him all time . No idea why . It’s not as of dhoni gives reinventing the wheel advice . Probably tells kohli very over to have a leg slip in . Kohli showed in tests no need for sage dhoni lol looks like some more bizzare pr attempt by Kohli 

 

yes op never mentioned ipl but others in this thread have hence comment

The captain should inspire his team no? Name me a more inspirational player in the team...

Kohli is very lucky that Dhoni is hanging around. He completely depends on Dhoni for most of the infield decisions. There’s a possibility that he takes Dhoni’s advice in team selections too.

 

Kohli is a poor LOI captain and will always be. It’s unfortunate for new players who are waiting to come in the team that the captain is depending heavily on a has been player. Dhoni is enjoying this stint similar to the one enjoyed by Sonia Gandhi during the UPA rule. All good things will be credited to him and bad things to Kohli...

 

[goose]

you mean his ass?

[asterix]

It’s unfortunate that the IPL marketing is directing the continuation of Dhoni in the Indian T20 team...

 

2 of the regular IPL losers are controlling the fate of Indian T20 team where as the proven winner Rohit has no say at all.

 

Unfortunately Kohli politics will not allow Rohit to lead the Indian T20 team even after being the biggest RCB loser captain. Has no clues of captaining in LOIs...

I don't get this. Tendulkar and Dravid played one T20 each for India but continued to play IPL until 2013. Surely Dhoni can do the same. Why is it essential for Dhoni to be a part of the Indian T20 side for IPL. CSK would pretty much have him regardless.

[speedheat]

This should be the biggest hypocrisy by the great dhoni, he gave up captaincy stating split captaincy don't work and now  splitting it in a live international match  if he is the man of his words he should just say "heyyy split captaincy don't work get lost"   whenever Kohli comes  to him except for drs.
