.... but it is over now

[zen]

Smell the coffee, shopping season ends  -> Dhawan, Rahane, Vijay and Karthik .... Question Marks -> Rahul, Ashwin and Shami (fitness is an issue so probably this could be his last season 2018-19) .... Known Unknown -> Shardul in tests

Dhawan should be booted along with Rahane. Bring in Prithvi or bring back Vijay. KL stays where he is. Shami maybe one more season. Saha for Pant and Jadeja for Ashwin.

This is the reality of every tournament. Some players come to form, some may not.

but having put the blame  on various factors, there is one factor about which nothing can be done except pray and hope for the best, that's winning the toss. Losing 7 out of 8  in the most important countries. What more worse can be expected.??

watching the below is more interesting than seeing team IND in tests in SENA

And won a World Cup, Champion Trophy, inaugural T20 championship, VB series in Australia and ODI series in England. While under Kohli we got pummeled by Pakistan of all teams in a CT final.

Next please.

The VB series win makes me rate him above Ganguly.The 2015 WC run to the semis was also great.But If you take a look at this stat,

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/india/engine/records/team/series_results.html?class=2;id=6;type=team

there are lots of losses in South Africa,Aus,NZ under Dhoni. He did better in Eng in ODIs. So far,Kohli has won vs SA which Dhoni has not done at all,lost in final in Champions Trophy & vs Eng now. That's not bad. NZ,Aus tours & WC 2019 will decide if he is better or worse than Dhoni.

He won us big TOURNAMENTS..

Nobdoy cares about JAMODI wins. There's no single LOI tournament left Dhoni hasn't conquered and that's why he's rated higher.
