cricketfan28 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 13 minutes ago, Cricspin said: He is past sell by date and should retire. But not sure why he is not doing it. He was big on seniors going out from short format when he came in as a young player. Now is is older than those players but still wants to play even when not performing. I am no Dhoni hater by any means and never ridicule him like many here do. agree man .. he gets more hate and trolling if he continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 CSK is keeping him for his brand. Nothing else. Even at his peak he had this issue with acceleration. Rituraj has taken CSK to final. Otherwise they would have been wooden spoon winners. Texan and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollingstoned Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 we can thank covid for him choosing to pack it in in t20 internationals. If not we would have had the misfortune of having to carry him for another tournament because we don't have the stones to tell a legend when to call it quits.

nevada Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 His franchise owners seem okay with his non playing type of role and will ask him to stay on for another season, which is only 6-7 months away(assuming April). It is up to him to decide if he is okay with being a diminished batsman. His keeping is still fine and he controls the flow of the game very well from his position. Also,.this time the pitches have been slow and pretty much every batsman is struggling, so Dhoni wont be as harshly judged.

Now that he's retired from international cricket, he can play IPL for as long as he wants. Between his franchise and him to take the call. nevada and Ankit_sharma03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the CSK fans have thier day, well deserved and probably the most supported franchise in the league Dhoni at his peak was something else, clutch as you can get, great servant of Indian cricket, wonderful player who unfortunately overstayed his tenure, still a class white ball captain mind. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Fluke or flake, he dragged his team over the line in a high pressure game, taking them to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
