No one listens :D he will be captain till 2019 like it or not When enough voices are raised, someone will care..don't worry. couple more bad results and he will be shown the door I hope but I want him to play as just a player. But it even if we do good in some meaningless bilateral series, the fact is we won't be winning any worldcups diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Come on now.. Please try to comprehend what I wrote. Yes he is fit right nowbut we are talking about 2019..old body may give up any time so I said his chances of playing in 2019 depends on if still stay fit then and is in form. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Better luck next year Removing him as Captain is not the solution for all the passengers BCCI are defo smart than IND fans.. Remove hacks like Rahane and Dhawanfrom T20.. Get new players in T20 like 2007 enough of that IPL bully raina as well Removing him from the captaincy is the first step for change like the change of 2007 t20 ex when Dhoni was appointed captain when majority still wanted Ganguly to continue..we will all come to terms with it and will be glad that we have Kohli as our captain..there is no better reader of the game than Kohli right now. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Let Dhoni rely of winning on other players...if he Carey's on till 2019, I hope he keeps on giving explanations of his losses as many times as possible.. You cannot have both ways.. You cannot have Kohli winning matches for you and you deny him captaincy chances... If you wish to play till 2019 then get rid of your EGO and play under Kohli's captaincy... Think you missing the trick here. Kohli is batting beautifully and our key batsman now. Why burden him with extra pressure of captaincy? Dont try to fix thing which is not broken. If Dhoni has to be removed, I think Ashwin/Rohit should be our captain. Link to comment

Plus Pakistan didn't have the luxury of great batsmen knocking on the door. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

jalebi_bhai Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I honestly feel that it is time for him to move on from captaincy. He has taken us as far as he can in LOIs. Nothing left to win or prove. He has been brilliant but I feel that it's time to pass the torch to whoever. He is still the best WK batsman in Asia and can play as our number 4 in ODIs till next year's CT at the very least. Ankit_sharma03, diehardpacer and adi B 3 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Dnt think we have enough games to give to new captain before 2017 CT, dnt see it happening Unless Bcci takes a call that they have too. Link to comment

My prob with Ashwin n rohit is they dnt perform in conditiosn that dnt suit them Rohit in seamer frendly conditions and ashwin has lost his place to jadeja in overseas so their own perfomance is something that they ll b more worried about than captaincy.

We all know about Sachin..he started playing at 16 and carried on for 20+ years so we know he was something extra special and he knew his body very well...he didn't let us down till he retired...he still accumulated runs at a good rate. dhoni's batting is on decline, power hitting is missing, captaincy is horrible but still he can run between wickets, has experience to pass on and simply the best wicket keeper so he should play until his body permits and can score runs..but captaincy is just too much for him and for us to digest. Whereas Kohli is the rising star, full of confidence,100% sure of his place and role in the team for years to come, has more hunger as he want to be the best.can handle pressure better.

Ranjha Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Once again, I am a big fan of Dhoni and still want him as a player cu he can't be replaced..but as a captain, we have a good prospect in Virat ready. Under_Score 1 Link to comment

Mibah isok as well but Dhoni can't play till 38 wa wa wa Agreed not in same class One can finish matches one is a selfish 100 player.. Shouldn't be compared That Asia cup was the Best... never dissapointed us Averages 50+In Odis no where near close to the legend Sachin but sure 53 is decent i guess.. He is handling pressure really well in RCB i guess.. RCB won way too many IPLS considering how average players like ABD,Gayle,Starc and good few other young players Sachin lasted this long cuz he gave up captaincy and pressure associated with it...Dhoni should do same if he wants to play 2019 worldcup. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
Ranjha Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 And never bring IPL up when we are talking about cricket here.... there re are many cases in IPL where players were hits and flops and totally the opposite in international cricket. csk was doing match fixing. Link to comment
HippoSucks Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Even if he starts batting at #11 and gives up the gloves, he should remain as the captain. If he retires, you will see Indian bowling go downhill very fast. Rasgulla 1 Link to comment

Vilander Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 since when did CT become so important. Time to bring in a new captain for LOI's. May be Virat or someone else.Dhoni should focus on his big hitting and go out as a great LOI player. Something like what Sangakara did. express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment
zep1706 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think Dhoni is a little insecure about eventually losing his place in the side if he is not the captain. So I don't think he would give up captaincy on his own. It's time the selectors took that bold decision. With Dhoni's Godfather out of BCCI it is relatively easier now to take that call. adi B and WC2011INDIA 2 Link to comment
