Dhoni dropped from Indian cricket team?


Dhoni being dropped from Indian cricket team?


Rumors suggest that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be dropped from the Indian cricket team. Dhoni will be replaced by Dinesh Karthik, who is currently in the team as a specialist batsman


The argument suggests that Dhoni is not a good wicketkeeper,especially in English conditions and Dinesh Kartik can do a better job at keeping for the Indian cricket team


Why cannot Dhoni play as a specialist middle order batsman


Dhoni is currently being treated as an also-ran in the race for the much coveted middle order position. After Sachin Tendulkar, the immediate choices for the Indian cricket's middle order positions are Saurav Ganguly,Laxman and Yuvraj Singh. But typically, the Indian cricket team management seems to think that a strokeplayer like Dhoni can come in only at number 7 and not earlier


Dhoni dropped?Have the Indian cricket team management not heard of Kevin Pieterson?


Pieterson is as unorthodox as Dhoni and plays for the England cricket team at number four and very often intimidates the opposing cricket team. By playing predominatly off the front foot, Pieterson often damages the confidence of the opposing cricket team by scoring at over a run a ball.


Lets hope logic prevails and Dhoni is not dropped from the Indian cricket team for the first cricket test against the England cricket team
