He took a stand for our armed forces against JNU parasites and their supporters in media.

Our most capped t20 intl player has a best of 48*?

I think he finally has one T20 50 now, doesn't he? He must not have top scored then because we won

He was so selfless that even though he could have scored more, he let the likes of yuvi and others to score. And he let Pant to score more today.

 

selfless thalaiva

Dhoni allows youngsters to go and grab trophies instead of himself doing so.

 

What a man, what a vision! This guy has laid ground work since years... he is reaping rewards now.

Today was selflessly advising pant to make himself relevant

When Dhoni plays close to 30 balls in T20s we are screwed. 

Thank you Umar Gul for sending him back early in 2007 world T20.

@maniac today's knock was selfless.

Wasted only 4 balls today, gave a chance to Karthik to be the finisher. Only when the going is really tough like 30 from 10 overs will the great man take responsibility so as not to scar the mere mortals.

I feel Dhoni should come into bat after bhuvi.

Selfless thalaiva

 

Throughout his career, thalaiva has always promoted himself when team India was in dire situations. Today he could have done the same. But he wanted a young players like pant and Pandya to play and get a chance to say hum karke aaye aaj

Disclaimer  :not a troll thread.

 

I have seen a lot of Dhoni fans probably most of them millenials or CSK  fans usually comeback with how Sachin or even Mumbai Lobby for the matter of fact be it (Gavaskar, Rohit,Ravi Shastri etc) are selfish.

 

They say if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes a fact.

 

All of a sudden every guy who joins this forum initially as a cricket lover starts parroting the same line  especially if he is a CSK fan or a Dhoni fan.

 

Nothing wrong loving your favorite  franchise or having a favorite player to defend (  guilty as charged) but why do you go the “Sachin is selfish”

argument route to defend Dhoni?

 

For arguments sake let us say Sachin might have have played for a few personal milestones he set for himself  like being the GOAT batsman and acted selfishly in the process, what is the reason one uses that as a  crutch to defend Dhoni ?

 

the opposite of selfishness is selflessness isn’t it?

 

What exactly are examples of Dhoni’s selflessness?

 

I have never heard about any charitable causes or public service announcements from Dhoni.

 

The whole army thing looks like a marketing gimmick as well. I mean couldn’t he have joined the army and written the NDA exam instead of taking a railway TT job when he was making the transition? Obviously there are “benefits” of working as a TT in Indian railways

 

Now don’t think I am a Dhoni hater, I am

a huge fan of what he represents that is a small-town boy from a middle class family becoming a cricketing mega star and a very good player. A Indian success story.

 

However isn’t the hero worship of Dhoni becoming the same as most people have accused Sachin fans over the years?

 

Even on the field, his batting at his own pace is costing the team in a game that has evolved. He lets guys like Jadhav and DK do the hitting in the guise of holding one end. 2 guys who are establishing themselves in the side,by getting out over-attacking the numbers may work against them. How is that selflessness?

 

The guy has never played for the match situation in recent times unless blocking away during a top order collapse which he would have done regardless of the situation.

 

isn’t this whole Dhoni worshipping getting a little tiring. I am sure as tired about pointing out his flaws.

 

About time we ask questions of players who are just not good enough as Indian cricket fans and move forward. Time we put an end to this.

 

Dhoni is just another selfish cricketer holding spots of other deserving youngsters and hogging undeserved limelight.

 

Any examples of his selflessness? Honest question, I am ready to listen and change my mind

Why are you being so humble while describing M(ost) S(elfish) Dhoni.

Thala played against English same way Pakistan plays against Terrorists.

But we don’t play terrorist in a cricket match.

Wasn’t Shahid Afridi’s cousin or someone a suicide bomber? 

[First class]

Dhoni is doing to Indian team what Misbah did to Pakistan, his last few years were painful due to his (Misbah's)  utter selfishness and he won't retire, until he was 44, disgusting. 

[Vijy]

He exists. That by itself reveals how selfless he is. His very presence blesses our lives everyday and makes us take delight in the joys o being alive.
