yeah Indian express and its news . it carried out a news few yrs back that VK Singh was planning a coup . it is one of the least reliable news paper imo.

Um' date=' Kohli is a very sharp brain. He knows exactly what's to be done to get there. I would never underestimate his intelligence. All this aggression-fast talking stuff is part of his branding. Bit of it comes naturally to him, but if you see his studio interviews, he can sound extremely mature if he wishes to.[/quote'] Most of the indian players have wished farewell to Dhoni on twitter. Kolhi was on twitter today but refrained from mentioning anything about Dhoni's retirement. Definitely something going on behind the scenes. Virat Kohli @imVkohli · 45m 45 minutes ago Wish you all a very happy new year :)

Dhoni is still ODI and t20 captain
yes agree but we have made him feel like **** by axing him from test team right before the world cup. Give me at least 3 examples where such a move has been made and the team has made it to the finals, even semi finals I hope not but I am expecting blunders, infighting in the Indian team in 2015 WC.

Good riddance the worst test captain I have seen till date and do not equate it with his brilliant record in smaller format, India will only get better in test from here, he took India back by at least 20 to 30 years in test

None in my opinion

Axing him? Didn't he quit himself? When was the right time for him to quit according to you? How much hope did you have for us doing well in the world cup on Aussie pitches? Won't be like CT or WC 11 at home where our bowlers will be effective. Our bowlers will be cannon fodder on Aussie pitches in ODIs

so the Srini-Dhoni era is making way slowly for Sashtri-Kholi era..change is good. ( ps: not comparing Don with uncle but still it has some similarities from positions of power)

Have u seen his test record away from home n the number of test he lost because of his captaincy, have u played any serious grade cricket yourself, check the stats, he was an awful test captain n more so away from home reflective in his home n away batting stats as well

There were times we had stand in captains and still won easily at home

thats a silly point to make..
But a true one ..it's easy to win at home but he never won against sides like South Africa who play spin well and lost to England res too teams are literally crap against any form of spin .

We were strong at home, but MS made us ruthless you'd have to agree.

Way he played against Australia at home after so much happened was impressive and went for whitewash that never happened before and another thing I credit him for but he was no great captain even at home imo ..if he had decent tea he would have ok even away but for me his major weakness was lack of cricketing know how after experienced bowlers went ..after mumble and zaheer went we saw more and more of those strange fields .. Also how come he never won series against only decent side against spin ? (South Africa ) he had one of best Indian side of all time ..

You can make your point and I will try :cantstop: Instead of calling people names please tell me what did he do ! He lost series to England and never won against South Africa he did beat Australia twice but which other big team did he beat specially when Kumble retired ..
