Batsman Dhoni never had any problem and likes of Saha/Karthik have to take 10 lives to match that. But his captaincy in tests was an issue. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk In 2014 best batsman was Vijay followed by Rahane. Remind me of Dhoni's record in Aus and SA. Saha has a 100 outside Asia, how many does Dhoni have? Dhoni the ODI batsman is ATG but in tests isn't fit to warrant comparison with the legend Saha. He shamelessly destroyed the Indian test team in 2011-14...we are yet to recover from that.

Number Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Most of his innings when he scored big have been when he walked in at 300-5. The best I have seen him bat in tough conditions was this test http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/13027/scorecard/463147/south-africa-vs-india-2nd-test-india-tour-of-south-africa-2010-11 UrmiSinhaRay and speedheat 1 1 Link to comment

Aur hamare ache player KL Rahul , Kohli out ho rahe hai . Is playing swing easier than seam? UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Swing/seam/spin.....depends on the player. Sachin was a beast against seam & bounce, Dravid against swing and Viru against spin. Kohli will redeem himself this tour, pity he came here under-prepared and also carrying a niggle, still the signs are good. VK won't ever master swing completely a la Dravid....he is more in the Sachin/VVS mould. But 2014 was an outlier for him, he isn't that bad against even high quality swing bowling. Rahul too may succeed but he needs to change his attitude first. No matter how good your technique if you lack patience and judicious shot selection you will never cut it in alien conditions.

I have seen him playing swing with ease many times remember that Dharamshala match against Sri Lanka .what is the reason behind his success against swing? my cricket knowledge suggest he should have problem against swing UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Also most of his odi mercurial innings are against Sl and WI.only few good innings against aus and Pak are in subcontinent. sscomp32, Gollum and Laaloo 1 1 1 Link to comment
