Aaku Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 :hatsoff: Captain cool.. Love him or Hate him, he got the style. He'll retire from ODIs after WC as well. One more prediction: he'll join army for a year or two once he retires from all format. please nooooo, or he ll become the most perfect man ever!! i cant evennn !
wanted_desi Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 on test level there is no love. :giggle: Good he is gone, hopefully we are going in right direction with Virat as captain, who does seem like choosing 11 players regardless of seniority.
Raghav_12 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I'll be shocked if retires from ODIs after WC.May leave captaincy but has lot to offer as a WK bat.Theres no replacement He'll never play in a team where he is not a captain. I can bet on that.
AmreekanDesi Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 some sachin and ganguly bhakts having a go at dhoni on twitter and abusing him. idiots I say. before dhoni came in neither had anything to show for their work. #1 TEST RANKING AND WC
AmreekanDesi Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 ALSO If he wanted he could easily go on a high in test cricket bunch of home series' coming up abd easy tour to Zim and Bang
VRV Singh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I didn't feel any particular emotion apart from initial shock upon hearing and do feel his relinquishing of the captaincy is long overdue. Nevertheless I respect him and his story which I imagine has inspired many others, plus the sheer amount of cricket he played over a condensed period is commendable. I'd say he has also always played the game in the correct manner. Hope this decision can prolong his career in ODIs. :two_thumbs_up:
beetle Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Nice thread Goosey:two_thumbs_up: I respect him more for retiring the way he did.No glory retirement series which was his to take ...just realized the next man seemed ready. Thank You Mahender Singh Dhoni!We will miss you in whites. :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff: Stay on as the ODI skipper for a year or two.Don't think Kohli is ready for being captain in all formats. Still teary eyed.:((

Lord Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Just saw this.Hes 6th best ever in terms of average for a WK bat(min.2000 runs).Not bad imo
VRV Singh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Interesting to note given the msg of the thread that Sky Sports in the UK have an 'MS Dhoni - end of an era' 1hr programme airing today which you would not usually expect.
BeautifulGame Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Dhoni is a living legend in India.He's from Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand which is the middle of nowhere and he made it big plus he's really decent. They are so proud of him in Jharkhand . I was in a taxi in aamchi Mumbai a few years ago. I asked the driver where he was from. He had 3 words. Jharkhand. Ranchi. Dhoni. Class. Saw this on Guardian comments and feel really proud.
kosingh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 i take it he had 'who cares about it' stamped on his forehead?
Kalia_Test Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Still can't believe...No Dhoni at #7 ...no leader of men... Which towering figure can ask a bowler or batsman in the team to tone down and concentrate? Which keeper will say " tu thoda aage daal sakta hain" to a bowler? Mahendra - greatest of the lord of gods.... When it was Dada's last test, he gave him captaincy for 20 minutes...which captain from any nation did it? And this is what he gets from some idiots? #shame on some of the posters here... Nice OP...

oneANDone Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Too much of hate going on here. I feel bit nostalgic to be honest. Never mind, these haters gonna keep alive msd for another 100 yrs.. They usually found some wired ways to hate him even after his retirement.. He did retired at the top of his game (I mean process).:((
Captain Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Where is the love? There is so little to be loved in Dhoni the Test player/Captain.
Raghav_12 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Just saw this.Hes 6th best ever in terms of average for a WK bat(min.2000 runs).Not bad imo Mushfiqur Rahim is 7th. That puts things in perspective.
