For all the Dhoni bhakts claiming that Dhoni is the one running the show behind the scenes....

A. India is never short of middle order Batsmen. You don't really need to plan out a proper replacement for a middle order indian batsmen. There are 3-4 spots in the team so players can be tried without really removing the outgoing player.

We are.. We don't have a proper middle and low order batsmen now do we?  (after Dhoni and Yuvi) Middle and lower order is a huge problem now.. Are you gonna blame ex players on how they didn't make sure there wasn't a replacement..

Only one spot for a WK is available. You need to try out players in series like this one against SL. India doesn't really have a ready keeper batsmen so someone needs to be groomed

I was told by sachin chamchas that people are ready to take over.. Ex: pant he is all ready to go.. So when he gets a call he will so the job right away.. How did Dhoni come back in 2004? Did he not learn all by himself ? Even the next guy will.. (WK)

Many young debutants have said before that sachin was like a mentor in the team and helped them take up his role slowly.

Even Rohit and Kohli says that about Dhoni's experience.. same thing ll follow in future for future generations.

Even if Sachin hadn't done it then it doesn't mean Dhoni shouldn't as well. 

It's not his job but if anyone is selected in the squad I am sure he ll help them.... Chahal,kuldeep, ishan(domestic)and many more already said it..

He will be 33/34  in 2019...  1 yr and few months left for WC..Not worth looking at new keeper atall.. After 2019 next WK ll have 4 yrs to prepare for next WC. Makes totally sense why they don't want to go with newbies and stick to exp once.. 

 

If VK can Bring back Yuvi,Bhaji and Gambo you shouldn't be surprised if DK continues.. If he is in good form.

Of course. For the obvious reasons .

Agree there. Experience of scoring 18 ball duck against Lankan farmers will come in handy during WC.

Well a 0(18) is one way to make 4(16) look awfully good

Experience of scoring 48(29) at #4 helps compared to 38(35) #3 on a patta.. That innings sealed his place..Karthik ll be gone to bench when kohli is back..

Was paying a tribute to Dhoni by playing the sheet anchor role in T20Is.

Somethings should be left to professionals.. Don't want wannabes in the team..  Dhoni gets excused for all his achievements for Team India.. He has atleast one good innings in 3 match series he plays.. especially in T20s since last 2 yrs..When you debut and try to emulate legends you end up being sacked especially when you are not as fluent as IYER.. Every captain has his fave.. He prefers Iyer over pant. End of conspiracy theories.

Both will retire together. Once Dhoni retires, there will be no need for an expendable WK.
