Dhoni dropped as Pune captain in IPL, Steve Smith to replace him

An email we received early evening on Sunday from the office of Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of Rising Pune Supergiant (they have dropped the ‘s’ from the end, it seems) hinted that the call to push Dhoni down the pecking order was taken by the management. No sugarcoating, even if it wasn’t quite spelt out: Dhoni was told he wasn’t captain any more; he wasn’t asked, the matter wasn’t discussed. He was supportive of the decision, we have been told.

 

This wasn’t his call – that much is clear. Against England XI the other day in a List A game where he was captaining India A, Dhoni said at the toss that he wasn’t quite done with the leadership gig – there’s the IPL, isn’t there, and Jharkhand, maybe, he said with a smile.

Fking hell.Just read that Rising Pune Supergiants name was picked to match will his initials R.P.Sanjiv Goenka

 

That's narcissism of a new level lol

 

 

 

The name of his group is RP sanjiv Goenka Group.

 

RP is name of his father the original founder.R P Goenka.

 

The group was divided between Sanjiv and his brother Harsh.Harsh kept the original name RPG.So sanjiv changed it to RP Sanjiv Goenka Group.

The sacking is hard but Dhoni fans should actually be happy with this news. The team is piss-poor and lacks balance. An embarrassing 7th/8th place avoided for Dhoni.

 

PS: Interested to see if Dhoni proxy-captains RPS like he did in Ind-Eng

He bowled around 135 in TNPL but was a bit slower in SMA .

 

He has that ability to hit yorkers regularly .Bowled six in a row in TNPL in a super over.Have to see whether that can be translated into IPL

They should have released him from the team as well. Still rememember his ATG 8(22) innings last year and he even ran Irfan Pathan out on purpose :rotfl:

 

Yes and that reaction of him forcing irfan tu suicide a run out still pisses me off[emoji35]

If he was in a different generation, you could have accused him of being selfish but that does not apply here.

I won't lie..last year RPS lost atleast 2 matches because of his piss poor batting.

Hopefully he can screw Pune even more this year .Not that Pune generally need any help in that regard

Not surprising, stupidity and nastiness go together.

 

Why isn't this idiot banned yet?

We do ban him. But he keeps coming back. Either by creating new ids or by using proxies.
