Result of chasing was visible. But its not about knowing the chase, this thread.

 

Its about Dhoni's worth in the team. Yours truly supports Team India's winning above all. Dhoni supports himself above all. You support Dhoni above all. Case closed.

excellent stats bhai. Dhoni chamchas often point to his numbers as evidence of his good performance over the past few years but if we look closely at Yuvi's numbers they are in fact better. And its unanimously agreed upon that Yuvi is way past it. Not sure how MSD has managed to gather so much blind support. 

[NameGoesHere]

I'm a long time admirer of Dhoni's leadership, playing ability and sheer will that saw him win so many games at the death

 

But it's time to go.

 

Just like we (or I at least) associate the 2011 cup win with that indelible and iconic six off Kulasekara, I don't want to see a half-cocked, half -a -second -behind Dhoni at the 2019 cup tarnishing my memory of such a fine career.

No ....I don't think Dhoni should  go now....yes ... today's performance was strange...but  i think Dhoni can still bat  one up the order .Another hard hitter should replace him. He is still good at playing an anchor role and then hard hitting.And he is still the brilliant keeper by far.

Up the order- at what position? 1-4 are locked up. 5 and 6 require players who can accelerate when needed.

Kohli is like khamba who does nothing,and dhoni comes smells ,pisses on him and ruins matches like this

Edited July 15, 2018 by Suhaan

[Lannister]

They should boo him even more in the third match as well. 

[diga]

Kohli cant play Dhoni/Raina/Rohit/Dhawan together.. Needs to play only 2 of them in any match. If we dont start now, 2019 world cup is as good as gone. (2019 world cup format is where every team plays the other. We will be severely exposed there )

SR of just 84 at number 6 is pathetic. He will continue to screw the team and fans in WC  

[adi B]

He should have retired after 2016 wt20,otherwise should have been kicked out after ct17 .

CT17 aftermath  was the perfect time to throw out the passengers in the squad and get new faces but our management and selectors have fecked this up big time

No you don't, no one in their sane mind would support over the hill Dhoni & his best mate Raina.

Even Lord Pandey has better strike rate than Dhoni.

[speedheat]

87.18 % almost 90% of icf voted him to go so pleasing to see that, Bot @Rasgulla time to generate  few more fake ids for the sake of that 'No' button

Not talking  about batting positions. Dhoni can easily play at no:4 .Keep in mind that he is a multidimensional player who is a brilliant kepper and can aid Kohli in captaincy too.His only problem off late has been not able to hit out straight away.But with his past ability in mind and also his record in the last 2 years(able to maintain the avg: but a bit lower str: rate) , it can be easily said that he can play the anchor+hitter role to perfection at 4rth position. 

 

For instance suppose the 2nd team wkt falls with in first 15 overs.Then he can come and consolidate.  Suppose the 2nd wkt falls only after 35th over.Then another hitter can come at the crease in place of Dhoni.Keep in mind this is a format where a lot more flexibility

in batting positions can be afforded when compared to test cricket.Sachin,Gilchrist.Sehwag,M.Waugh,Ganguly etc are all examples of this.

So I do think Dhoni still deserves a place in the eleven.His vast experience in several ways  would be a worth if channeled properly especially keeping in mind that world cup is only with in one year reach.
