1st 50 in over a year, surprisingly slow SR of 85 though. Probably going to smash NZ at the end.

Scoring 50 in 85 SR is good man for a 275 odd chase.
Dhoni as a finisher has regressed beyond repair
What remains to be seen is whether he can be useful at no.4 in middle overs.Which I think he can.He has mentioned he wants to bat at 4 but loss of form for Raina means there is no finisher.So he has to do the job himself
He has to change the approach of dragging the match to last over
You must be a tail ender yourself!Sarfaraz has just started his career where as Dhoni is a granddad in criceting terms.
Sarfaraz is a decent bat where as Dhoni is incredibly overrated. You're making biopics of him as if anyone outside your country rates him as highly. Do you think he is a global icon like Muhammad Ali or something!!?
Dude, Dhoni >> Sarfaraz in ODIs and that is a fact, Test are a different debate altogether.
11 runs. 31 balls. SR 33.
Out.
Last game...20 runs....31 balls....SR 61 after which he made up.
No problem with him whatsoever.
Can play at number 4 till WC 2019.
Did we lose the match because of being pressured by the RR?

He tends to take his role way too seriously, if he starts playing wildly like he used to during his starting days, he may find his lost touch again.
Are you confusing him with? No one can play wildly and win so many matches for a team.
Bhai, you still believe he has it in him?
hes batting like how Misbah used to for us in ODIs these days. Really is struggling to rotate strike early in his innings.
I think he can keep on coming at 4/5, at least until the end of the 2017 CT. He isn't that powerful of a hitter anymore, but he can still be a decent middle order batsman. I don't believe his captaincy or wicket keeping has deteriorated either. On top of that, we don't have any other suitable options. We aren't playing many ODIs before the CT, so it would be foolish to bring in a new WK at this point.
In T20s, he should be retiring soon because he can't score very quickly anymore (which is a requirement in that format).

Retire from T20s Dhoni.
2007 WT20, 2009 WT20, 2012 WT20, 2014 WT20, 2016 WT20
ALL FAILURES yet stays in the team and plays his umpteenth stat boosting impactless T20I knock with some hits at the end.
Let's be honest:
To keep playing T20s after all this is the epitome of selfishness.
And people call Tendu selfish while hailing Dhoni's selflessness. lol.

His finishing abilities are equivalent of pak fans raving about talent which is just a mirage with no performances to back that up. When ever u question his fans say india won because of his captaincy alone and even discredit indian wins telling that india would have lost without him
Tell him dada is the only other person advocating the same he will change to negative.Ask Shastri whether MSD can play till 2023 , he ll reply in the affirmative.
U cant remember any because he doesnt have any.I forgot 2010 WT20 from the list.
I don't remember a single good T20I knock from him ever.
Shocking.
He is only good at bullying domestic trundlers. Maybe he should come at no 4 after Kohli or even try opening ? He can use the fielding restriction to his advantage in the first 6 overs.

Tendulkar was selfish and so is dhoni. Its in blood of subcontinent greats to be selfish towards the end of their career.They become larger than the game of cricket.
why does Dhoni suck so bad in T20Is but it is so great in IPL.
Dhoni can smash domestic Indian trundlers and mediocre spinners. Last IPL he smashed 21 runs of axar to win it for his team in the final over.why does Dhoni suck so bad in T20Is but it is so great in IPL.
He overplayed for his 100th 100. Anyway I don't want to get ire of Sachin fansTendulkar was never a passenger like dhoni even in his bad days. He used to scratch around and get runs and not by dictating as he used to do untill 2000.even when india was white washed in england and aus he is the second best batsman to dravid and kohli in that tours averaging more than 35 in both series. He never struggled in odis

The timing of your post reviving a 3 month old thread is a bit odd. Dhoni was the highest scoring Indian batsman today with the second highest strike rate.
Can't say Dhoni is that selfish . He gave up captiancy in LOI's fully knowing that that put his position at a much higher risk than ever . So he atleast has the willingness to fight it out..
But he always sucked in T20's , now this is getting pathetic. He needs to be dropped ASAP. Poor wicketkeeping costs you very little in T20's , to justify a player playing for his keeping alone. Blood a youngster !. Pant must be tried.. No need for old keepers like Saha or DK here.. Parthiv can be tried since he's an aggressive opener as well ..

I don't see a problem with MS the ODI player. Yes he is not the same finisher, but he is still good enough to bat at #4 for India.
He gave up captaincy so that he could buy time by taking advantage of common notion that without captaincy burden he could flourish like old , which is utter ridiculous. It helps that the people with power and the broadcasting media is on your side. He has lost his mojo for atleast 2 years now. He should concentrate on IPL only , for money.
Good point you make of dhoni leaving captaincy.However if you remember shashtri hinting they wanted to give kohli the captaincy for all formats while dhoni play as a player.However they put hold on it. Who knows what goes behind the scene. Even if dhoni himself took that decision I do think it should have come much earlier. Better late than never though.
I don't think that is the case now. Everyone is on Kohli's side .. Saw the power shift happening as soon as Shastri had taken over.
Kohli is not as much of a brat to explicitly criticize Dhoni ( which Saurav & MS have done to their senior players in the past ) . So we don't see that many sparks flying . But the selection committee will have given clear guidelines to MS on what is expected of him now.. Hope they boot him soon after CT2017 if he plays poorly . He is not the man for the 2019 WC.
Don't feel that way. That clown MSK Prasad twisting and turning over Dhoni captaincy matter indicates MSD has hold in right places. He is not going away even after Champions trophy .
I am Sachins greatest fan . But even for me also he retired 2 years too late. Yes he was making some odd runs here n there. But for a team aspiring to be best ,those were not good enough. MSD is doing exactly that right now.
Dhoni has 33 not outs in 64 T20I innings which inflates his average to 37 (with a pathetic strike rate of 122). The thing is how many of those 33 not outs were actually match winning or match turning innings?

Lets be honest here, India never really had a good enough wicket-keeper to make the team in the past couple of years. Saha and Parthiv were always an option, even Karthik doing well in the IPL but all had their flaws and Dhoni was still better than all of them. Another reason he was always in the t/20 team was because his captaincy was extremely vital and his IPL performances were given a lot of importance. Now, however, it is safe to say someone like Pant should replace him.
This is true we did not have good alternatives as WK batsman. All we have had were ttf's. D karthik, P Patel etc. But now we have new prospects they may or may not be better but they are the future and dhoni should be the past.
In t20s keeping doesn't matter much,isn't it? Actually even when we had no alternatives in t20s we should have selected those who can bat better.Pant needs to be given a couple of series. He seems to be the next word class player for the Indian team. However, his keeping will be the real test because Dhoni's main reason of being in the team is his exceptional keeping.
Do you have stats regarding how many not outs in odi compared to innings he bat in.I suspect its higher as well.

Dhoni (56 from 36) and Raina (63 from 45) were the best Indian batsmen today. He was also India's best batsman in the first T20. He still has it.
