'Ailing' Dhoni only top Indian cricketer to skip Ranji tie

Cmon. He has been playing nearly EVERY match India or CSK have played since around 2006. Wicketkeeping for the whole innings and still being the fastest runner between the wickets in the team isn't easy. And he has been doing this for almost 5 years now. Add to that the captaincy burden. He is the fittest Indian cricketer according to many. He just needs some rest before the all-important series versus Eng and Aus. And, do you really feel much will change if he plays one Ranji match against J&K before the series vs England?

maybe not shooting Ads but he was still opening the gym in Delhi - if he is really sick he should rest.
Common You as well me know its most likely an excuse to get some rest from cricket. And rest doesnt mean just physical rest as some are saying here.Most cricketers when they mean rest mostly means mental stress involved as a cricketer.And acting in adds or doing promos are one way relieving from these pressure cooker situations.

This season hasn't been as hectic as some of the previous ones. IPL ended on 28th May. Since then in the last 5 months, we have played 5 ODIs and 2 T20s in SL, 5 T20s in WT20 and add another 4 T20 matches for Dhoni in CLt20, a total f 16 playing days in a time span of nearly 155 days! If thats not enough of a rest wonder what else would be needed for proper rest. Also, even after the round 1 of ranji, there are still 10 days to go before the 1st test starts giving amle time for 'rest'.
You missed NZ tour of India.

Yeah' date=' my bad. Add 10 more days, still no reason for missing the chance to play for his state side, that too with such a tasteless and a silly excuse. Shows zero respect for domestic cricket.[/quote'] I know his excuse was really silly but like some guys mentioned earlier, he is also a human being and not a machine. He also needs rest before the important series against England. Also, it won't have made much of a difference if he plays the Ranji match against J&K. He is still gonna score runs in Indian conditions.

Pathetic batting, pathetic captaincy, pathetic keeping. This is the "package"! :laugh: But the Indian love for mediocrity means he is the most popular Indian cricketer.
LMAO. Yep lets have karthick instead of dhoni. He will have more runs in byes than runs. Fooking retards think (ie, our selectors) think like you. No wonder no-body like yuvi and bhajji are in the team :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
