Mohinder Singh Dhoni ,a crickter,every day we can find him on tv sometimes in "Dhoni contests"& sometimes in interviews which r less abt game & more abt his other interests as he is a some super star.

Is he really a great player? whenever I have heard his news thats always related to modeling never read anything abt his play. latest news I have heard about him is that he has done a music video. he has already done so many adds & ramp shows.Sometimes i think is he full time model & part time crickter😕?

He started his one-day career in 2004 & test career in 2005-6 season.till date his best perfomances r below

Highest batting Score: Dhoni's best ODI batting score of 183* was made against Sri Lanka, Jaipur, 2005-2006 ( only one good performance)

Highest batting score in tests: 148 vs Pakistan at Faisalabad in the 2005/06 season .

Can a person become top player with only two best performances thats also one in one days & second in test matches?One good performance can also be counted as by chance in other words "Tukka lag gaya".A great player is that who gives best performance in every match if not in every match atleast most of his macthes .

Dhoni is highly overrated player.he hasnt done anything great yet.its just starting of his career and instead of paying attention on his game his focus is only adds, fashion shows, music vid etc etc.

(other crickters also do modeling in add movies but atleast they have done something in their career like sachin, dravid, ganguli)

I really dont think Dhoni is d best player nor Sewag!!! Just coz they hit super sixes in some matches people think oh they r d best!

Well, the best player is Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid & Sauvrav Ganguly! i woud also go for Kaif!!!

Coz these four players do contribute when d team is in loss!

No offense!

IF th ecricket players are concerned with looks, they will not be there. THey are always under more pressure of their performances, then any thing els as th e whole nation looks at them. Their match represents the whole country. May be you should watch their playing before commenting, doing some Ads does not mean they are concerned about their looks only. WHo does not want fame, but their fame comes with lots of responsibility. You can get fame like Rakhi Swant with not much struggle, but you cannot get fame of Dhoni with out any real talent. He is worth of all the fame he has earned. 👏 👏 👏 may God Bless our good players.

Purple penguins, they are players and to play to the best is what they should do. Yes SA has been a disaster. So does that mean they are disqualified. If your kid gets low grade, do we disown them or come to conclusion they are disqualified ??? no we try to find their weakness and rectify it. Same thing happens here too. They are not God. They will fail at times. it is more humilating to them when they loose. To me these players work hard. I blame Chapell more for their SA failure though.

And yes my POV😛

It is too early

Every player goes thru High's and Lows, It is how they deal with the lows and rise and where they rise upto the next time tell you, if they were over-rated or rated properly

Remember Narendra Hirwani? Supposedly great talent disappeared, after the initial brilliance

is Chappel playing on the field? So why him??
its only Dhoni who has withstood the onslaught of Shaun,others just shun batting due to their timidity and mental block.
If anything is overrated, it is the 'expectation and 'fighting spirit' of Team India, with only exception being Dhoni.

The startegy they are following is of Chappell. His is doing experiments on our team that too around the world cup. He is clueless and playing tig tag. That is what he is doing. Yes get new blood, but serious training is required prior to play on world cup. Our expectations from our team are always high and will be high. And I am sure they will prove that are expectations are right. THis is not the end of match. There will always be another world cup series too. Our fighting sprit is blocked by the Coach, who should be packed and ship back

I dont blame the coach, because honestly.. when India was winning, everyone loved Chapell and didnt want to get rid of him and now when they are losing, its like the ministers are saying Chapell sucks.. whats up with that? Honestly, the coach is the one who has the game plan.. but the players decide to actually do it or opt for another plan... so I dont think that you could blame just the coach, its all of them! There is no I in team, when its a loss, they all should accept there fault... not just the coach!! (I am a soccer coach, so I know how it is)....

But honestly, we started off with Dhoni and now its Chapell 😆 ... sorry if I offended anyone...

**Aviva**

😛 You really need to watch games 😃 and you would know what I mean. I give a damm on what politicians say. they are bunch of idiots sitting on high chairs pretending to rule the nation. Our cricketers are 100 times better then those politicians😆.

But then when India was winning earlier then why did everyone support Chappell? And I saw this on TV... now what? everyone hates him.. honestly, there is no point.. even if you take chappell out, the team will not do good..... and that is my opinion! ( i dont follow cricket religiously as you do swar_raj but i have seen a few matches!!)

If u take Chapell out i m 100% sure INDIA WILL WIN!!!!😃

No offense But Chappel doesnt guide d players properly!!! Before he used to guide them (when ganguly was d caption) nowonder dey use to win!😊 Now-a-dayz chappel thinks something else & i guess he is not happy dat Ganguly is back! I really hope Ganguly plays well & shows to the world that he is the best!!!😃

Ganguly is d one who choose chappel to make their coach & chappel is d one who made Ganguly to leave his captionship!!!🤢

I hate Chappel!!!

No offense!😳
