One of the Most exciting Question as of now after one Bad inning and Let’s analyze his career

Career Stats is as per below

Let’s go one by one

Batting

Let us check his Stats deeply

Strike Rate of 123 and Average 35 in after playing so many matches is enough to describe.

People are telling that his stats are getting down but let me give a Comparison

Point 1

At the End of 2013, the stats are like below with an average of 32 and Strike rate 114.9

The stats after the Match where most Discussions are done stands at an average of 35.6 and 123.4 strike rate

Now Dhoni-1 Haters -0

Point 2

People accuse him of keeping the Match to stretch the Match till the end and remain Not-out Out no matter what the Result is

Number of Not-outs in T20 = 35

Number of Matches India won– 24

Number of Matches India Lost = 11

With a Percentage of almost 70%, No other Batsmen in the World can be a Finisher like him at Number 5 or below Batting Order

Dhoni- 2 Haters-0

Point 3

He usually bats at Number 5 or Below

Check his Batting Average, and Strike Rate at Number 4 and I still doubt why India is still Searching for a Perfect Number 4 in T20 at least and if you doubt his destruction level then check his stats at Number 7

Number 6- The most Crucial Position he batted when Top-order Completely failed with the bat, and still, he stood like a Champion

Dhoni -3 Haters- 0

Point 4-

Opponents

As per the Below stats, he faced issues with Australia and New Zealand and World knows that these two are one of the Best sides in terms of T20 matches in this Era

All other teams 120 or + strike rate Proves it all

Dhoni- 4 Haters-0

Point 5

Fitness Level

No comments see the Photo below

Dhoni- 5 Haters 0

Lots of discussion on his batting and Fitness

Next topic – Wicket Keeping skills

Point-6

Show me a Wicket Keeper who can do stumping faster than MSD then I will take down the post immediately ( Offer Valid till 2018 )a

Added Advantage- Eye contact with Bowlers to read batsman’s mind

Courtesy- Ashwin, Chahal, Kuldeep

Dhoni -6 Haters -0

Point 7

The most significant advantage of captaining Indian Cricket Team for ten long years with below stats and knowing the Indian Team better than anyone else at Present

Dhoni 7- Haters -0

I will stop at this as 07 is the Number Every Indian Fan don’t want to miss

and In crunch Situations when India will be defending fewer runs in last few overs

DRS- Dhoni Review System is just added in the T20 as well

No hard feeling for Kohli and I equally like his cricketing skills, but during DRS I don’t want him to miss Dhoni soon( The below was a failed review when Dhoni said not to take a review)

I want him to consider retirement with his Heads up and to keep one or two more ICC Trophies

2019 WC is a must and 2020 T20 WC also possible

Kohli Defending Dhoni– “First, I don’t understand why are people only pointing him out, I’m not able to understand this. If I fail as a batsman three times, no one is going to point fingers at me because I am not over 35. The guy is fit; he is passing all the fitness tests. He is contributing to the Team in every tactical way on the field. With the bat, if you look at the series against Australia and Sri Lanka, he did well. In this series, he has not got much time to bat,” Kohli said during the post-match press conference after third India versus New Zealand Thiruvananthapuram Twenty20.

Nehra Defending Dhoni—In every house, you need an elder one, and he is there. I hope till next two to three years or as long as his body allows he plays. Cricket is a game of conditions definitely, and it is not easy to perform. If it was in mind or if I am a coach or captain, I will be on his head that he has to play. I am not saying he doesn’t perform; he has to play. He is the first guy who will raise his hand and say I am retiring if he is not showing. But I feel we should leave at MS Dhoni and let him play cricket,” Nehra told ANI.

“He is one guy who is very honest with himself and the country. So, he should play. I see him even to play the T20 World Cup in 2020. If I can be a fast bowler at the age of 39. So, with MS Dhoni and his Fitness, he can play,” he added

Gavaskar Defending Dhoni-VVS and Ajit are entirely entitled to their opinion. They have played a lot of cricket for India, and it is their view. It might not necessarily be the selectors’ nor the captains’ perspective, and we have to wait and see,” the 68-year-old was quoted saying to NDTV.

“We do not look at the guys under 30, who haven’t done anything but we tend to sort of overlook that. So, we will not have to look at the failure of others in the same innings. Hardik Pandya is getting out for one by not picking up a googly.
