If I am the reason for everything going bad, I’d love to step aside: MS Dhoni

If it was a really long season , he could have opted for break from IPL ..but these jokers invent long season excuse only when the international season appears ..still to see any Indian cricketer opting out of IPL VOLUNTARILY because of exhaustion/long season/fatigue whereas so many Australians - Nitchell Johnson/Starc/Ponting/Clarke and company have done the same at a loss of financial gains to them

If indian cricket is producing the batsman in the calibre of Ambati Rayadu then there are issues IMO beyond MSD
The thing is Rayudu is not a merit selection. Guys like Kedhar Jadhav average 47 in List A with 105 SR. He even played well during India A tour of Australia and won us the quadrangular cup.

Here's my theory on MSD. He may be past his prime as a player also. He has not been anywhere near as consistent as he used to be. He is a ATG ODI player after all and rarely used to fail. His technique is poor coordination is excellent. Usually when players like this reach a certain age they cannot adapt to slowing reflexes. Sehwag is another example of someone who declined rapidly at age 33/34. Only time will tell if MSD is out of form but he may just have gone past his expiry date both as a captain and batsman. He will be very lucky if he is not forced to resign in the event of a Banglawash. Huge game, game 3 for him.

Kedar Jadhav is not good enough for the international level. He's too slow, lack of fitness plus doesn't have the ability to stroke. That was one good quadangular tournament for him but that's that.

Stroke what? Those particular set of skills must be why hacks like Rayudu and Jadeja always get picked then.

Sorry, but if we score at a average of 214 runs per game against Bangldeshi bowling, then blame lies on our batsmen. Dhawan,Rohit,Jaddu,Rahane, Kohli, Rayudu, Raina. They all have major flaws in their batting which opposition can exploit. The manner in which we lostboth the games sucks. Not a single decent knock from any of our batters. If its down to team politics, then, Shame on them. If its not, then too shame on them

The problem with Dhoni is that he is a Dheet and that is hurting Indian Cricket now. I hope BCCI take his offer and give Kohli ODi captaincy too.

What's the point of Rayudu when you know for sure he isn't meant for this stage. Also when did Jadhav have problems with taking singles or striking big?

Dhoni Says Team India's Head Coach Shouldn't be Appointed in a Rush Insisting that there are enough people in the support staff to take care of players, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has said it is fine if the coach's position remains vacant for some time rather than appointing "anybody" to fill in. The coach's position has been a hot topic of discussion post Duncan Fletcher's exit after the World Cup and Dhoni insisted that the Zimbabwean's contribution was invaluable to Indian cricket. "At least indirectly you are saying you are missing Duncan Fletcher," Dhoni shot back when asked about the team's losses in relation to the coach's job lying vacant in the post-match conference after the Men in Blue suffered the ignominy of their maiden series defeat against Bangladesh. "I felt he was one guy who was never really appreciated by the media. He did all the hard work. He was with the team for a long time. He went on really tough tours but I don't think we should blame the support staff. Ultimately it is the individuals that go out and adapt and do what is required. I don't think it is the support staff. "If you are indirectly hinting that we need a coach and all that, we have enough people in the support staff to take care of us. And even if the position of the coach is vacant for some time, it is okay. Don't put just anybody there just because the post is vacant. Then it will have a bad impact in the long run. It takes time to make these decisions, and our team generally doesn't have that time because we keep playing non-stop," he added. Often accused of persisting with allrounder Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 19 at No.7 and failed to bag a wicket in his 7 overs, Dhoni not only defended his Chennai Super Kings teammate but also gave a cricketing justification for his preferred selection. "We use every bowler according to his potential. I don't like to bowl him in the first 10, but after that he has bowled for us consistently, in the second powerplay and even in the slog. I have used him late in the innings, and he has bowled three decent overs in the powerplay. "I feel it is very difficult for someone like him to justify his selection because more often than not they don't get to bat. In the last one year even I have not got a decent chance to bat. The only decent chance you get is when you are four-five down in 20 overs," he said. "To always come in an international game and expect an individual to score a fifty is not really possible, so it is a difficult one. Also, our top order has done really well so we haven't tested the bottom order. You can say these two matches our lower order was tested so it is difficult for him to justify his batting. From bowling point of view, in between he was up and down, but later on, during the World Cup he bowled well and after that here he is bowling well," he added. http://sports.ndtv.com/bangladesh-vs-india-2015/news/244282-ms-dhoni-says-team-india-s-head-coach-shouldn-t-be-appointed-in-a-rush

If he goes, Jaddu will struggle to find place in the team... Jaddu owes a lot to him... For the betterment of the team, Dhobi needs to be SACKED immediately after this series... He's a corrupt captain... He's not forthright. He has his own agendas... Hope BCCI takes him to task...
