Atleast you are funny, teach others too :)

I am funny because i am not a hater.  I was a Dhoni fan when he came and thrashed Pak and Sri Lanka and I am still his fan, but there is a difference between worshiping fanboyism of a particular cricketer and being a cricket fan. I enjoy all good innings whether from Dhoni or from Pant. :tongue:

Fanboyism and worshiping hurt a cricketer or a celebrity more than anything else.  Look at Yuvraj, he also did poorly in last few years, but because he does not have worshiping followers, people will just say, "he has past it" and move on, but in Dhoni's case, things go on to another level.

But if Dhoni can keep this IPL form till WC, I don't think there should be any question on his spot because he can also be a great help to our current clueless captain.  Pant can easily play as a specialist bat till than either in T20 or ODI side. Pant is also slowly becoming a 360 degree player.  Our top 3 Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli are settled and then Dhoni at 5/6 is a certainty irrespective of what he does with the bat. Pandya at 7. I would actually like Dhoni to bat at 4, Pant 5, and Krunal Pandya at 6 who can also provide as with 6th bowling option.  Pandya brothers can move up and down according to the situation and bowlers.  There is a case for Rahul too but at which position is something to think about.  Can he bat at 4 then Pant will have to sit out because both Pandya brothers are must for next WC. With Krunal being a spin option, we can play an extra seamer and only one of Chahal, Kuldeep or Sundar depending on the conditions. 

 

PS:  Krishnappa Gowtham is also emerging as a good hard hitting spin bowling alrounder at #7. We can even check him before WC.  We are lacking a good off spinner at this point. Sundar does not give much much confidence as a bowler and as a batsman, he has not been utilized yet.  I will be tempted to pick Gowtham ahead of Sundar at this point.

:giggle: Only a non msd fan can say this and get away. And the so called fans with DP of the captain will ignore it like he ignores kl.

CSK against DMK today. Time today for Dhoni to play a selfless innings like the midget god of bambis. To prove how selfless the mentor of the bambis was read this article. Dhoni must follow his footsteps or be sacked and beaten in a tihar jail for crimes of meiyappan
