India tour of New Zealand 2019 | News & Updates

[Sai Jai]

Well said @Siva bro! There was a time, I criticized MS for a long period. I found his intensity was missing in international matches (also 2 season in RPS, though irrelevant to me) post CSK ban. But he was back and how!! He had his best IPL stint in 2018 and looking solid as ever (except initial 2-3 matches post IPL). Most importantly, his intensity, his hunger, his match awareness are again back on track. When you have such a persona in your side (read Virat) plus a solid team combination, having a hand to that trophy is just a matter of time. WC'19 can't come soon enough!

So one of the main issues between us is sorted out happy

But again saying as a MSD fan I too will critcize him for sure but he failed in 1 side but well managed in other side so I have no criticize to him but high time I too told here he should retire now some months ago and pranab uncle like that comment

World cup is coming once in 4yrs.we can't loss it for out of form players or players with past achievement.excuses are not reason for me.i want world cup.i am not accusing him personally.i criticise his form only.i will do this for any player who is out of form.

Criticism: Dhoni is playing slow, he is out of form and it's costing the Team
Accusation: Dhoni is playing slow, because he wants to secure his place in WC Team.

There is a world of difference between the two.

I strongly feel he is not in form after analysing him for more than a year.if he is selected i can't do anything and will watch till world cup.if he play well in world cup and india win cup no problem for me.i will be first person to congratulate him and wishes team india. If not I will straight away criticise him simple.It applies to any player in that 11.

I can't understand how you can say he's out of form after he remained not out in his last 4 innings. In those, he scored 3 consecutive 50's (2 of them were match winning ones) and today's innings helped India finishing with a par total and his keeping was absolutely clinical in all these matches. I don't know what prompts you to say he's out of form if you analyzed him so well!

World cup is a challenging one with all teams in world.we can't take it silly.

You think Indian selectors and Virat Kohli are stupids, taking the World Cup as a silly challenge! If they think anyone is not suitable, they will drop them. Even the great Sachin Tendulkar was forced to retire against his will!!

I straight away ask you a question if india didn't win world cup and dhoni didn't perform well. Will you criticise him or not?Pls answer.even if you criticise whats use for us.

I will obviously criticize in a constructive manner. Cricket matches can't be won/lost by a single player's performance. It's not Tennis. It's a team game. If you are singling out one player and criticizing him for a loss, even if it's in a World Cup, then you don't know anything about cricket!

PS: I wanted to end this conversation with my last post, but unable to do so because of your responses/questions. I kind of understand this will never end, so enjoy and count me out of this, PEACE!!

He was in crease after 40 over , not in 10-30 overs . Didn't looked like trying inning acceleration . Not a single boundary came in 40-46 when he was on crease . This test knock might have costed India match . Thanks to bowling and MSD-Kedar quick partnership 53*(26)

Rayudu's innings that will be a talking point. He started off well, scoring 29(24) but only managed 18 off the next 25 deliveries in the final powerplay. India only managed 29 runs between overs 41-45 despite not losing a wicket

You forgot dhoni too involved in partnership from overs 41 to 46.

Yes I got answer now but still the series not decided.

After 50 over completion
Dhoni's strike rate was 145.45
While rayadu couldn't score run a ball and ended with 95.92 SR ( remember it's death overs)

Absolutely bro. We all have to agree that his role as a batsman changed now, he's not that old dynamic finisher and needs help from other finishers like Kedhar/DK to finish games like he did in Australia. But rest of the qualities are definitely at full swing now, especially today's stumping reminded everyone how good of a wicket keeper he's. I bet no one else in the world could have got that wicket. I think we have a good team and will definitely compete well in the WC. Fingers crossed!!

That's possible only when you're in a great shape (of mind)! What more pleasing was how he enjoyed that! You rarely see him in 'full smile' like that! We were missing this real MSD for the last 2 years!
It's possible that he took the blame (internally) to himself for the fall (mishap) of CSK and all that reflected in his performance. Now after the tremendous success of CSK on return, he is relieved from the colossal stress and anxiety.
