This is a pitch more suited for a trundler.
The problem I have is Dhoni is quite a strong hitter. He actually needs a change of mindset more than anything. A strong hitter with a 88 SR in career that’s dropping suggests a boycott/gavaskar mindset to batting. It’s not like he’s built like chanderpail

21 off 21 is fine if he comes in to bat in the last 10 overs or something. Its not fine if you come in the 30th over and get out in the 40th
His innings today was far from fine. He should have kicked on
His career record is irrelevant when discussing his performances today

Not this one cause' I would barely get it to bounce.

Okay now I'm convinced youve literally never actually watched Dhoni bat before 2018
He's like 900 years old. Pretty clear he struggles to nail the ball as well consistently nowadays. Players eyes go and they have to play ball later.

Eh what? His eye and reflexes are gone. Power has little do to with it.
It’s not a choice to get a certain amount of runs. 21 off 21 isn’t bad. He doesn’t decide to get out. Grow up. It was valuable that he got them at a run a ball. He’s a 7 that bowls. He’s not a front line batter. If you’re relying on him for big runs then it’s a problem

This is what I wonder
MSD must realise he's not good enough anymore
Surely he's a proud enough man in that he won't want to carry on playing if he's a liability to the team, right? I means, that's the general impression I have of him.
Maybe at some level he still believes he has it? Maybe Shastri and Kohli are forcing him to stay on and he actually wants to retire? Maybe he needs the money?
I don't know. I don't get it.

It's crazy how it's not possible to make blind msd fans understand this.

It is probably not a problem with the mindset. He just does not time it any more; no matter how powerfully one is built, a smidgen of timing is still required.
We just saw in the last over that he is unable to put away, or even flick, balls bowled on his pads
