Vijay was plain clueless last test. so was your favorite karthik. Bottomline is their degree of cluelessness varies. Otherwise everyone has been clueless in this series. Technically we lost the test because of Dhawan's drop. You have to factor that in as well. His net contribution was somewhere in the minus

The six he produced was the most clutch shot in Indian cricket. having said that he is still better than Pant but I am very consistent and I would have given him one more game. There is an intense dislike against karthick here.

Just a decent 50 surrounded by colossal failures. I gave him chance because he had a consistent domestic run. He is way more clueless now than when he was 19. GautiMaan 1

He still cannot construct an innings at the highest level.The only thing Nidahas trophy proved is that he can hit shots from ball 1 That is perhaps the best way to use his talent as a number 6 in ODI's that way he can go for it without thinking too much but the team management slotted him at number 4 there and played him in Tests where he needed a different mental capacity,one which he simply doesnt have Unfortunately this might mean the end of his return to ODI's too could have used a stroke maker like him(only in slog overs)

I was a fan of him back in 2013 but then realized he is all flash and no substance. Edited August 18, 2018 by sensible-indian

DK is a choker. He will screw us over in ODIs too. He should be booted out of all formats.

DK tanking on BCCI not managing his career properly. He is not that bad.
zen Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Some people do only 2 things on this forum - a) if Dhawan, etc., play 20 runs knock, they claim that they did well, or b) write against youngsters such as Pandya and Pant
Khota Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 Lot of people don't appreciate and underestimate Dhawan. I know the reason why some don't like him. That is besides the point but because of his astounding effort India is off to a great start for the first time.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Rahul showed , in the end the quality will win Goodbye Dhawan ....u are not meant for test cricket Laaloo, express bowling, SK_IH and 2 others 1 4
Pollack Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Dhawan is good for tests in subcontinent. SENA: no. Mosher 1

What's the 'reason' you think people don't like him? Please enlighten all of us. SK_IH and raki05 2
SecondSlip Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Dhawan can only score against minnows like Bangladesh & Afghanistan. Time me to drop him permanently.

He was just fine till test 4. I believe he should be benched based on the spineless effort in 5th test. You can shine the light yourself.

Till test 4 he was the highest scorer at that spot. Not excusing his test 5 performance though.

Its not about who is worse on bad days, its about who is best on good days and good players will always be backed Vijay has had good days Rahul has had it Dhawan hardly any Edited September 11, 2018 by Ankit_sharma03
