Is Dhoni the most overrated cricketer ever.?

Question

Why did he get that khel ratna award. Where someone like Dravid, who was one of the best batsmen in the world, second to ponting, during 2002-2006 in the world, and was the fatsest batsmen in history to score 9000 runs in test.

what did Dhoni do to derserve this award. he has one test century, he averages 2 in test. one 1/3 of his ODI innings end in NOt Outs, thats why his average is 47.

Yes he lead india to 20-20 cup, and cb series win. But it was individual performances by RP Singh and Yuvraj that india won the 20-20 cup. And it was down to the sachin tendulkar show that india won the cb series.

He is an overrated bigot.

Answer 1

kumble, dravid &ganguly should receive khelratna before dhoni

Answer 2

U must h8 him a lot or stalk him. I think if he wasnt skipper he would be chucked out of the team like ganguly was.

Answer 3

He deserves the khel ratna award. He's not that a good test performer. But one can never forget his one day performances. Even when our top orders collapse he led India to a reasonable total. His captaincy is outstanding. Even though it was the individual performances singh and yuvi it's the captain who takes all the vital decisions in the field. One slight mistake is all that u need for a game to change. For example the 2003 world cup final ganguly made a horrible mistake by sending the australians to bat first. It turned out to be a disaster.So it is not easy to lead a team to a world cup victory or to a series victory against australians in australia. So in my opinion Dhoni deserves the praise that he receives.

Answer 4

yes he got out in crucial stage in his last ODI Vs Sri Lanka too~

Answer 5

Scott man, do you love him or what ;-)

Answer 6

One should really ask this question to Indian media.

Answer 7

God he is! Slimy, arrogant, sleazy, narcissistic average cricketer. Thinks he's a total big shot but he's just a stereotype.

Answer 8

Well, I have to agree with you- MS Dhoni is the most overrated cricketer I've ever seen so far. He can easily be termed as the most overrated cricketer in the history of Indian cricket. I too hate him, because he is the reason for the abrupt termination of the careers of 2 most finest batsmen that India ever had-Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. Dhoni is the one who is behind the anti-senior propaganda, and created the unnecessary rift between the seniors and the juniors. And yes, he did nothing that makes him eligible for the highest sporting honour of the country. India doesn't bother to give recognition to the contributions of the true legends of cricket like Kumble, Ganguly, Dravid or even Laxman! It's a joke that a newcomer like Dhoni who is yet to prove his prowess has been chosen as the Rajiv Gandhi Khel ratna awardee. The T20 WC victory was the result of the collective team effort. Why should only Dhoni be rewarded for it?

Well, I must say that Dhoni has improved a lot as a wicketkeeper, but I just don't like that unusual batting technique of his! His batting is quite odd to watch, because he absolutely has no technical perfection. And the thing which I dislike most about MSD is his ego, and his scornful comments against the seniors! I wonder how long he can continue in this arrogant fashion.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

he wasnt overrated when he was doom doom dhoni and knocking sixes all over the place ,,

but no hes adapted to trying to  stay in longer , for the team ,and not give his wicket away

bit upset with him to take a holiday while a test match was on .and then started singing on TV lol

.

Answer 11

I personally Hate dhoni.....so if you ask me this Q. I will say that I do think he is the most over rated cricketer ever.......

I think he DOESN'T deserve the Khel Ratna.......the BCCI is just supporting him, no matter what.... What dhoni wants he gets.

He hasn't done much in him career to make him eligible for this huge honour.....We have cricketers like Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble who have dedicated their lives to this game...But, they remain under rated....Rahul would have recieved this honour if it wasn't for BCCI who messed it all up by not sending the nomination on time....

BOOO BCCI!.

thats all

cheers :)

Answer 12

May be as a captain he lacks a few tricks.But as a wicket keeper batsman he is really good though he tends to hold more responsibility to himself than allowing others to share.

However it is true that a few seniors deserved it too.

Answer 13

Afridi is most overrated but worst player ever cricket produce

Answer 14
