Nah, he was the ultimate minnow basher. In reality the guy was garbage.

He was a decent ODI bowler, quite promising especially early on.
His Test career was largely forgettable though other than that hattrick.

Especially with Jadhav still in the shed. Good thing they sent Dhoni ahead of him though.

Whats Dhoni upto??
7 off 19!
I honestly think he is well past it and is a liability as a batsman but still a great keeper and senior leader.

That's been my view of Rahane though he had a good run with some 4-5 fifties on the trott.
And for crying out loud, why can't Dhoni bat at #4?

Dhoni had a very average 2016 averaging 27 and SR of 80. But on either side of it he has done well. In 2015 he averaged 47 at SR of 87. In 2017 he averaged 65 at SR of 84. Nothing to scoff at. His hitting ability is demonstrably inferior to his yesteryears but he will still be a handy #4. I don't know how many teams have better #4 candidates. Don't know why India insists on playing him at 6 or 7.

Hmm. He is out now.
Indian batting is so out of date outside of the top order. The middle order is unconvincing plus they are unable to do big hitting at the death. So even when India are like 240 after 40 overs, India still only get like 325 after 50 instead of 340-350+.
Its basically a top heavy lineup or a 3 man lineup ..Rohit, Dhawan and Virat are the ONLY batsmen you can expect to do well. The rest are hit and miss (mostly miss), so on occasions when India loses the top order early, opposition can finish the Indian lineup off without too much trouble if they bowl well. So its not that great a lineup tbh! Thats why Pakistan won against India in the final of CT.
