Dhoni, Stop being a politician, and start being a captain?

Question

Dhoni needs to stop this feud or angst or jealousy against the senior pros of indian cricket. And needs to start thinking of indian cricket, instead of building up his massive inflated ego, which is mostly some indian fans fault.

He needs to start picking the best indian XI, not the youngest, who agrees with me?

The side needs the right balance between experince and youth, but at the end of the day you want your best players out there.

My best ODI side would be

1. Tendulkar (35)

2. Sehwag (29)

3. Gambhir (26)

4. Dravid (35)

5. Yuvraj (26)

6. Rohit (21)

7. Dhoni (27)

8. Bhaji (27)

9. Zaheer (29)

10. RP Singh (22)

11. Ishant (19)

This is the right mix with youth and experince, plus all the best players are there in the respective roles.

Answer 1

dhoni is a very gud captain he knows wat to do but he should be very careful in picking the eleven..

Answer 2

There are 11 cheers girls also beside one Deepika in between youvi and dhoni.so dhoni is confused now.

Answer 3

i agree, it is not the best 11 of India in ODIs, players like Sreesanth, Sehwag, Ishant, Tendulkar, Ganguly are not there, who should be in the squad, the grooming of young talent doesn't imply that you compromise on the victory chart of the team, it is always a gradual switch with blending of youth and experience, Dhoni has some point to prove, which he did initially but now not able to do it because it requires some experience also to counter the tough conditions of Sri Lanka, they are in, the test players were getting a hang of Mendis, Laxman and Dravid scored well against him in last test , but it is the way it is, it is lack of meticulous planning and intra cricket politics and rifts which are also affecting the team!

Dhoni has been given the authority and if he doesn't prove his point , then he is also under the screening, but Dhoni is a fighter, i suppose he will come back in the series and put a full stop on the advancements of people who are predicting a 5-0 whitewash!

hope it helps!

best wishes!

Answer 4

Tendulkar & Viru were there in the team but they r injured.

About Dravid recently he had not performed well enough to qualify 1 day team.

Other players r already there in team.

There is no politics but performance is imp.

Dhoni & selectors had choosen perfect combination of experience & youth

But both of them(experience & youth) were not able to prove themselves against Srilankans.

Answer 5

i think india really need a break from cricket

Answer 6

Disagree

Whats more important?

An ODI series against Sri Lanka OR The World Cup 2011

In 2011 surely the likes of Dravid and (dare i say it) Tendulkar will be past it.

The Indian selectors are being smart, they are planning for the future. The mix of youth and experience was tried in the 2007 World Cup and where did India finish? Yep knocked out 1st round.

The youngsters have talent, but they need experience, it doesnt take a Rocket Scientist to work out, that India will be in trouble unless they plan for the future.

In your reasoning, what will India do when Tendulkar & Dravid retire?? Who will they throw in the team?? A young player with no experience of playing big matches in tough conditions.

Give the youngsters experience now, see the rewards in the future.

Dravid and Tendulkar are class now, but will they be in 3 years time?

Answer 7

He is a politician already

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
