Dhoni ruined CSK by not giving youngsters chances when it was clear the old guard was not good enough, then decided to hang around trying to get a send off in Chepauk with IPL trophy. He should have ideally retired after the 2023, gone for someone like Jaiswal, Iyer, or Pant to lead the team into the future & let the team rebuild.

 

Dhoni & the team's greed to milk his poularity is destroying the franchise.

 

 

 

Turned the franchise into Dallas Cowboys. All drama and show, no performances.

CSK is actually lucky that they haven't faced 220+ scores. Credit to them for picking Noor & Patheerana.

The think tank lead by Dhoni is brain dead, they could have got them for base price. Now most of them will go for multiple crores.

CSK had Sai Sudarshan, Sai Kishore, Jagadeesan, Sharukh. They hardly gave chance to local talents.

They shelled out 14 crores on Daryl Mitchell who was never a good T20 batsman. May be in NZ conditions. Out here he is worse than Pujara.  Stephen fleming made his fellow NZlander rich. TNPL is such a competitive lower level T20 league. SO many talents are available. I don't think they do any kind of scouting

CSK scout is on record that the management ignored his inputs.

 

i think dhoni’s thought process changed as he became old, he just cares about players who he is comfortable with rather than the next generation, the team management only cared about milking Dhoni as long as they can. They now have a horrible bench as a result.

In what could be a game-changer for both Ayush Mhatre and Chennai Super Kings, the 17-year-old Mumbai opener has been called up for a mid-season trial by the franchise. If successful, Mhatre could be included in the CSK squad

Who will he replace? I don't think you can add unsold players just like that

This culture of hero worship and putting players like Kohli, Rohit, Dhoni ahead of the team is the reason we've been perpetual under-achievers in Cricket. There's no reason for us not to be like Australia with the kind of resources at our disposal but we can't get past "King" Kohli, "Hitman" Sharma, "Thala" Dhoni :facepalm:

 

When we should be fast tracking in likes of Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Nitish Reddy, Ashutosh Sharma etc. we're still discussing how we can carry Rohit and Kohli to the 2027 WC in SA, and these oldies are the first names on team sheet for Tests despite no performances :sad_smile:

 

Rohit nearly finished the career of Bumrah with his incompetency while claiming to "monitor his workload" in Australia, and that was after he and Kohli were the main reasons India was whitewashed at home by an average Kiwi side for the first time in our history. Yet there're no repercussions.
