Dhoni scored more than 500+ runs almost each year while playing in lower order & 1000+ runs each year when he played in top order. Only time he struggled was during 2016 & 2018. How many runs pandya scored every year in odi while playing in lower order? His best performance was in 2017 wher3 he scored 557 in 19 matches. Meanwhile Dhoni scored 600 runs in 16 matches in his last year before taking retirement. That was not even his best year. How many runs Jadeja scored in 2023 in odi format? Only 309 in 17 matches. Surya scored only 389 in 20 matches. But still people had Problem with Dhoni's performance in his last years. Dhoni scored more runs than all these 3 players who dhoni haters thought can replace Dhoni during dhoni was not at his peak. India would never find flexible batsman like him who played long innings when our top & middle order failed while playing with 300+ strike rate in last overs.

Off spin troubled him more . He was awful against the off spin.

[@akashkhanwani9823]

Great video, but imo the technique change that messed it up for him happened in the Test Series against England in 2014. He had widened his stance and started standing upright instead of his natural bent back/low hands position. He started tucking his hands in, particularly his left elbow to avoid poking outside off stump and he'd walk across and work those deliveries to the on side throughout that series. This allowed him to be relatively successful considering he was the second highest scorer for India in that series (4 50s in batting collapses, more saving grace than match winning knocks really). From then on, he kept trying to work his way back to his original explosive technique (while trying alternatives along the way) but he couldn't because of his deteriorating hand eye coordination as you pointed out. His ability to step out to spinners was hampered, especially to the ball turning away and with time and he ended up being just a crafty 240-270 chasing ODI batsman for the last 4-5 years of his career. 2018-19 in the IPL he had managed to salvage some of his hitting prowess, but I'd attribute that to smaller grounds, easier bowling and more confidence/clarity in what his role was considering he is the end all be all at CSK.

[@rorschach1724]

Dhoni was unorthodox. Comparing him with other unorthodox batters, say for example Virender Sewag or an Adam Gilchrist, Dhoni lacks "balance at the crease". You can easily say that hand eye coordination is the key, if you lack footwork. But hand eye coordination comes from the stillness of the head when you watch the ball being delivered out of the bowlers hand(and you watch it all the way on to the bat, ofcourse, everything happens in a fraction of a second against the pacers). If you take take a look at Gilchrist and sewag, their balance (which comes from the stillness of the head while watching the ball delivered out of the bowler) puts them in great positions to play a shot according to the line and the length of the ball. The modern day definition of batsmanship revolves around balance at the crease. But if you take a look at MS, his head was not still enough to watch the ball close enough being delivered out of the bowlers hand. This puts his body in awkward positions while playing shots(while Gilchrist and Sehwag gets into eye pleasingly great positions while playing a shot). Your comments about Sachin's bat speed was accurate. Sachin lost significant amount of bat speed in the early 2000s due to tennis elbow. If you take a look at him in the 90s, he used to play a lot of lofted shots against quality pacers(courtsey to his bats speed) Courtesy to his balance and footwork, Sachin managed to play another 11 more years of international cricket and was very successful(although he got some criticism being not aggressive enough in the limited over format).

MS Dhoni is revered as a legend by some and criticized by others. As a cricket fan, while I may not be a fan of Dhoni’s batting, I deeply admire his captaincy and wicketkeeping skills. You can't deny the fact that he reached the pinnacle of ODI rankings when the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, AB de Villiers, Michael Hussey, and Chris Gayle were dominating the scene-all while batting in the lower order. Until his wicket fell in the 2019 World Cup semi-final, everyone stood by him, but after that, only his true die-hard fans remained loyal, while others began to criticize him. Fans of Kohli and Rohit started pointing out his batting stats, alleged political tactics, and more. But do you think Dhoni cares about anyone's opinion? Absolutely not. He’s living his best life, still earning millions. Famous people like him don’t concern themselves with whether you support or hate them. So, why waste energy arguing in the comments section?

[@tom8672]

I still remember, before 2015 CWC, he used to play spinners on backfoot very beautifully, but after 2015wc , he struggle very badly against spinners.

[@Mr.L597]

As a Dhoni fan, I do agree with badically all of the points in this video. But a few things i would say is that learning is an important but not very recognized skill in a sports player, especially in cricket. Dhoni learning and changing things after a successful career spanning over a decade should be applauded. And also, thala wasnt as good with the bat after world cup 2015 tbh. He was getting older and had to keep as well, and that really took a lot out of him. Even Sangakkarra stopped keeping a lot later in his test career and thats why people say he retired in his prime. Also, a lot of his changes did work, but he was still under pressure due to not being the batter he once was. To add on to that, Dhoni had, all things considered, a pretty alright finish to his career with the bat, considering where he was in 2016. His batting was better than average in 2017 and 18, and his batting was average in 2019. And looking onto the 2019 world cup, it looked like a washed dhoni performed better than a young rahul and pant as a keeper. Essentially, Dhoni changed his techniques, and it didnt work out as well due to his age and keeping on top of that. A lot of people in this comment section are just finding this video as an excuse to hate on dhoni or praise him mkre, when in fact i felt like none of your points really degraded him nor praised him, just showed what kind of player he was.

Casual Dhoni fan here and i have something to clarify about the pads part... A few years back, presumably at around 2015, I had asked to many of my elder relatives who watch cricket as to why does Dhoni use those old, short and worn out pads and that too with 2 straps while basically every other batsmen that wee see use taller and 3 strapped pads? Well they're no expert cricket analyst as this guy but they all suggested the same thing; its not about having 2 straps; over time as the pads wear out the weight decreases (even if it is in a negligible amount) so dhoni, or any other batsmen who uses old pads really, can run faster between the wickets... And no joke; Dhoni is a monster between the wickets... He runs like a bull, I've seen videos of him running at around 30kmph or something... Apart from the plenty of dot balls that he consumes I think he is still a solid batsman considering his age as well... And Dhoni often struggles with back pain so the problem is he couldn't dive... so maybe that's why he stuck to these type of pads, in order to run faster instead... Creator, please verify this for me... And I like your style of talking and analysing... Yes dhoni barely uses footwork in recent times, I agree... But he is still able to hit big shots and what not, in the IPL at least... It always makes you happy seeing him play, agree or not🙂

Dhoni's batting carrer is quite similar to javed miandad

[@harigovinds1113]

He put off the trigger movement in 2018 because of his back issues that began cropping up midway through the IPL. You can see him triggering even as late as the innings against KXIP when he hit 70 odd in a losing cause, but the trigger progressively reduces after this innings. The back and across did reappear (I think) in the England ODIs that followed, at least against spinners, but he was inconsistent with its usage.

Good analysis mate. As MS Dhoni fan, I agree with what you have said. Post 2015, he really struggled to rotate strike and also was more of a ball consumer. In the year 2016, he was going through the transitional phase. He struggled his way throughout in IPL 2017 and at international level from 2018.

Thanks, man. This is what I wanted for such a long time. A genuine analysis video on Dhoni. Coz everytime a big expert does it, it always becomes mindless praising. I too wondered why nobody talks about so many technical changes Dhoni made in his later years. I think it was almost a psychological problem with him. In his later years he just wasn't the same confident Dhoni of old. Dhoni's technique was never good but it didn't matter bcoz of his confidence and clear thinking. Dhoni in his last few years, I think, was very confused as a batter. In the recent IPL, his confidence was high and he batted brilliantly.

About MSD i believe it is a problem of every unorthodox big hitter to suffer that fate at some or other time in their career . It began to happen to MSD very late in his career , same for Yuvi and Raina who struggled against spin or short pitch bowling even more later on. The only technical big hitter i see who hasn't struggled is Rohit sharma and that's why he was regarded as Sachin Tendulkar's replacement before kohli came along but still he is doing great when Kohli was struggling for runs in T20 world cup. please make a video on shubhhman gill and why he is struggling since 2023 2024? He is not as good as he was till 2022. He is coming in form or out of form more often this 2 years and Jaiswal and Ruturaj are onto his space now of becoming the next great after Kohli. Please also do a review of why Suryakumar yadav struggles so much in ODI also whereas in T20 he is like ABD villers of india.

[@cricketbyjb]

that’s an interesting insight! And yes, will try to make more in depth analyses videos!

I don't think Rohit was deemed as next Sachin... Rohit was never that good. And once Kohli came into the stage unfortunately for Rohit he became a second fiddle in ICT just like what happened to Dravid under Sachin.

[@AlenBenny-q8t]

Rohit isn't exactly a big hitter. Kohli has higher strike rate than Rohit in ODI and IPL... Even Rohit's Six/Innings is lesser than Kohli in IPL... Big hitters are players like Pooran, Klaseen etc.

[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

@@user-uu8uk2qj1l Bro Rohit was hyped as the Next Great after Sachin as he was also from Mumbai Ranji team and getting selected to play at the age of 20yrs . Virat kohli was also great but he only became more famous after winning the under 19 world cup in 2008 as a captain. It got him into the team . Whereas Rohit was tried only in 1 series before being directly put in the T20 world cup squad of 2007, That's how good he was. But he was languishing in the middle order at no5 or no6. He was in and out of team before 2013 rolled around, he was not selected for 2011 world cup due to poor performances . He was also ridiculed by Aaj tak news channel back in 2011 for being unfit and that's when he told his friend/senior from from Mumbai Ranji team Ajay nayar that he will do whatever it takes to be fit again and make a comeback permanently and this was after world cup 2011 Triumph. That's when Hitman was born. So when 2013 champions trophy was coming up in few months Rohit sharma was literally made opener alongside Shikhar Dhawan In place of Sehwag and Gambhir actually . They both were dropped till that time due to bad form and Dhoni wanted new players to take the centrestage just like 2007 world cup. Till 2013 Rohit sharma had 3 hundreds and around 25 fifties being a no.5/no.6 batsman . But after 2013 champions trophy his record exploded. He was among runs and IPL trophies also . Now onto virat kohli , he is like Sachin Tendulkar, he likes to meticulously build his innings , prefers ground shots, boundaries mostly but will hit a few 6s if he can. He is big match player , loves chasing big targets but has huge hunger for runs just like Sachin . Whatever he achieved he got it because of his determination, courage , go getter attitude 💪, discipline, passion and hard work obviously, I respect that and love that about him but Rohit sharma was a natural god gifted talent for Batting , when Rohit sharma was coming up Kohli also has heard a lot about him so he decided to watch him play and what he saw amazed him to the point that he was awestruck by his Batting, he just sat there seeing his effortless stroke play. This has been said by Virat kohli himself. So who the fuck are we to judge ? See Rohit sharma can play aggressively and calmly build his innings also. Plus he makes it look effortless. Even when he hit 264 not out he was calmly steadily building his innings hence the first 50runs came slowly but after that he exploded through the opposition bowling line-up. When Rohit came back in the dressing room after hitting 264 not out Coach Duncan fletcher just told him if he didn't play slow during the first fifty runs he would have hit a 300 that day. Right now at this point in history Rohit sharma is on the level of Virat kohli as a equal. Even Gambhir himself said it during IPL once "Only captain or player to give me sleepless nights is Rohit sharma . Against Rohit sharma Plan A,B,C everything falls apart if he is playing ."

[@mrdaman99]

Yuvi's struggle was post his cancer treatment. He was at his 15-20% post cancer. On the other hand, raina was just given too many chances. They could have given those number of chances to Manish pandey or Ambani rayudu back then. And shubman gill is struggling only in tests because he wants to look as elegant as Kohli but in that process he is compromising on his technique. If focuses on technique, he can become even better batsman than Kohli. Suryakumar Yadav was never a ODI batter let alone Tests😂😂😂. Who was the genius behind the decision of taking suryakumar yadav to WTC final last year😂😂.

These all observations are okk. But he was not playing freely. Top order batsman are allowed to play freely because of long batting line. But middle over batsman and lower batsman are not allowed. I think dhoni did politics and also got a taste of politics. So he wasn't comfortable with the environment around him. In csk, the environment around him is different. And he bats slightly freely. I think it's more about the mindset. Yuvraj singh and dhoni made a video after dhoni stepped down from odi captaincy. Yuvraj asked him - now that you are not captain, will you be explosive like earlier. Because of captaincy, he changed his batting style, which many people criticized also. Yuvraj asked this very question from him, because that's was the right thing for him to do, that play freely, fearlessly. I was also expecting to see the old destructive dhoni. But dhoni said to yuvraj that i will play according to conditions and i was disappointed. When the top order batsman has collapsed, then a mature, experienced player think of playing safe, reach a good score, then explode. But when that's not the case, get that fear out of you. Most of the balls went dot, he could have hit those balls for six or four. Dhoni had that talent and strong bottom hand for that explosive batting. But i don't know what he was thinking. At least he could have given that batting style a try. In semi final of 2019 world cup, if dhoni and jadega had both put pressure, bowlers would have been under more pressure. Dhoni missed the opportunity to play aggressively. And also I don't understand his obsession with hitting sixes. Yes strike rate could change quickly but hitting fours are more safe. So he should have focused on hitting fours instead of making it a dot ball. Many times the ball was not on the stumps, so he could have hit those balls hard or in the gap. But i thinl it's the mindset where he was trapped and not free. Before 2015 World cup and csk ban, i felt he had a good team environment. And his equation with team mates was healthy. But afterwards, he seemed distant from the team. Not backed by team as much as earlier. He looked more serious.

He is a washed-out batsman while he's playing 2019 WC.. when the team needed he gave his best for both the Indian team and IPL but it was not enough to win matches. I still remember when he was struggling in the 2020 IPL, as a diehard of his and CSK, I wished he should retire.. it lasted until 2022. From the 2023 IPL, he changed his approach and it's working well for him and the team.. the ball one, he tries to attack and get out and doesn't waste balls by playing dots. Also, he set high standards for 5 matches we expect Kohli to get 2 or 3 hundred and if Rohit hits a century, then 200. , we believe if Dhoni is there, he can win.. but later half of his career it didn't happen for many matches 🫠🫠
