I saw Anna Ash and other south state teams Tamil Premier League or something

Almost every state has thier own Leagues . That's just auditioning for IPL.

What I don't understand is -

On one side people are saying...MSD is there so that he can groom Rutu through his experience

On other side, MSD is leaving on Rutu. Let him take his own decision...I will not interfere...To Rutu kaise janega MSD kis thought process se captainship karte the etc...Rutu ko captainship offer kiya (looked like they told him we will back you, please accept this..) because Jadeja did not want to...Rayudu retired...CSK ko kisi overseas player ko captain nahin banana hai...

Then how Rutu will learn? If that is the reason they have kept MSD in the team then it is not serving..Rutu is been captain of Team A or B (I don't know exactly) and he is been successful captain internationally and have brought Asia cup something I think...So there is something he is hesitant about it...and now he is chilled and letting it happen without any effort so then they can kick him out of this duty...As an individual player he has made runs in 3 out of 4 matches..

For any other reasons if they kept MSD then also it is not helping the team because it is not about individual performance, it is about team performance.

All these one side posts on social media or wherever also don't seem proper reality/truth

They have kept Dhoni bcoz without him no one will come to watch their shitty performance.

Dhoni means money, he brings trp, audience and money. He is their money minting and they will use it as long as they can.

With the way decisions are being taken it is clear it is not Dhoni and other players runs up to him as he is closer, Rutu himself stays at boundary, toh waha tak thodi jaa sakte hain.

Also I can never understand how people are questioning Dhoni's position when whole team is giving shittier performance than him.

But MSD was able to captain a team where greats like Sachin was present. MSD was the Indian captain when Sachin and Sehwag were players.

Dhoni literally used to Captain when International Captains used to play under him in CSK.

There was a time when Mccullum, Faf, Bravo all were leading their respective Countries team but used to play under Dhoni in CSK.

Exactly. Hussey, Watson, the greatest of greats have played under him, and he has played under VK and vice versa. Rutu is not a bad captain just an unsure one — that’s actually worse when it comes to IPL, eventually it’ll make people question his decisions if he doesn’t work on building the rapport / comfort with other players, just not the ones he’s friends or has played with.

I think Rutu can do better, but he has to trust his spinner more. Our 3 big main spinner didn't even threw 8 overs collectively in last match.

But he made Mukesh play that too in place of a batsman and made him complete his spell that when he was getting belted.

I have said this earlier too Rutu should tell the team that he is the Captain and they can't go away with their shitty performances.

& he should stop playing favoritism in the team.

I’ll never know why he made Mukesh complete his spell that day inspite of him proving to be expensive.

But yeah, Everyone can have an off day, there are many times when really good bowlers turn expensive so that’s okay. He just needs to cheer up the team morale and maybe give pointers so that bowlers can be consistent with their line and lengths.
But this @b: I totally agree.

And he should allow Jadega/Ashwin/Noor + Pathirana complete their spell unless they prove to be expensive.

Rutu lacks clarity!! Like he seems clueless... He isn't taking tough decision...

He has to be Ruturaj for ruling.... There youngsters who are are really good he should bring them... There are Dube Vijay Rachin as all rounder so... Use them as bowler... Then dependency on extra bowler will be reduced...

They have good youngsters they need use them like Ml is bringing their youngsters...
