Even today if Kohli says that Dhoni is the best then what are we supposed to do?

But he is..  Captain kohli got that right. Karthik and Dhoni can play in same XI

We have to lower our expectations. Nowadays we don't pick keepers from first class. Probably Saha is the last one. We look at IPL, under 19 etc where keeping for long periods doesn't often get tested. Pant, Samson all these keepers we talk about became known to us through their T20 exploits. I have a gut feeling Kohli will kick him out sooner than we think.

I think out of all the options we have, he is still our best wk for 2019.Dhoni is past his best and Pant has shown he is an overrated hack.Samson's keeping is a question mark and Ishan Kishan is not international class yet.

You tell one mistake Dhoni did as a keeper

[SK_IH]

pleasantly surprised since last one month,tbh i didnt see place for him in t20s let alone odis but he deserves it now,unlike dhoni he has more range even as a finisher but like the OP i have my doubts about mental midget

What he achieved yesterday was phenomenal. He had to score at a strike rate of 360 +, for India to win and that's what he did. 99 out of 100 times batsmen would have failed.. any batsman, including probably Kohli. He did that, and he can take it to his grave as a phenomenal achievement.

Look up "Ashish Nehra Dhoni" or something like that ... you will see a bloke wearing keeping gloves standing like a hippo while the ball goes between him and first slip.

Jokes apart something is diff about him after his second marriage. Top atheletes often have different methods to get mental conditioning but nothing beats a wife in keeping a man grounded. To see what he must have gone through and where he is now is great.

Actually this could be the case . What am saying is , I dont really see any difference in his batting , he always had the skills and its difficult for me to believe from being a batsmen who for years had got out to soft dismissals has turned it around cos of this one innings like I explained the innnings was too short for him to screw up, if hes actually changed I dont think its domestic cricket infact for a 32 year old whos played for India domestic cricket can be very demotivating , but a positive big change in personal life can a be trigger .

Dhoni is 35 and no one complaints.

Looks like you haven't been on this forum very long. 

 

Anyway, everyone expects Dhoni to retire next year.

Very few if any complained about Dhoni. Either he needs to step up his game or step out.

1st of all hats of to DK for that innings n that boot camp story ...,hope really it has turn around his mental issues and if it has please send uthappa to 

 

2nd - even i dnt trust in DK, coz he has been poor for so many years and we shudnt jump the gun so soon. 

 

As of now he has earned his spot in every format and he will keep getting his chances and his future will be decided on how he performs in those chances.

Opening is the best spot for mentally weak players , DK is capable of giving is very good starts . I like the idea of such batsmen opening , but popular belief is that we need an "anchor" to play out the 20 overs and get us past par totals . 

[King Tendulkar]

Dk yes no guarantees 

 

but dhoni is 100 per cent guarantee . Guaranteed flop now 

[jusarrived]

So whats changed exactly ?

This guy is a mental midget and I cant imagine going into WC with him as a finisher

Give him 10 ODIs in number 4 or 5. How can he perform when he knows he is always competing with somebody for a spot and expectation is to perform in every match.

 

Kohli, Rohit and shikar never had to face that scenario. It must be terrible for the middle order . And on top of it they get chances to bat once in 3 matches in crisis situation . It's not easy.
