Dhoni Vs Gilchrist | Cricket News, Articles, Cartoons, Statistics

When Dhoni first started going ballistic on the International stage, the general culture of cynicism that Indian cricket's general under performance has cultivated wandered towards the direction of the numerous Indian players who landed on the scene with a bang, but only flattered to deceive. When he started showing consistency, the comparisons invariably veered southwards, towards the direction of Adam Gilchrist. It is difficult to judge who should take this as a bigger compliment- Dhoni for being held in the same plane as Gilchrist, or Gilchrist, for being seen as the ultimate benchmark for Wicketkeeping allrounders.

After maintaining the initial promise - possibly improving upon it - for over 70 games now, Dhoni can now be said to be in a position to command a proper, evolved, head-on comparison with the Australian who can easily walk into an all time World XI side.

We take the holder of the crown and the pretender through the SquadStats filters, to try and find out which of the two have added more value to their respective sides. For the uninitiated, 'SquadStats' is a means to analyze player statistics and records as a function of the teams overall statistics, records and performance. Effectively, it looks at a situation where if Dhoni were to not play for India and Gilchrist were to not play for Australia, which team would be the poorer for it?

DEEPTHI on 2008-04-07 07:09:37 - REPLY TO SHENBEGARAJAN

Dhoni is just a new captain. he is the captain of new generation.if he is finding energy in the youngsters he has the freedom to choose youngsters in the team..
the decision of including youngsters only was not just of the captain but also the vice captain.and why only dhoni is criticised. wat abt yuvraj???????/

Abilash on 2008-03-03 00:19:53 - Sachin & Sourav

this is a reply to dear shenbakarajan, man y r u trying to pull sachin into the ugly zone which Dhoni & Vengsarkar doing.... he has no part in it, Frnkly telling im a gr8 fan of sachin, I too love Sourav, he is exceptional, but dont compare him to sachin ok... because we all know tendlya make himself more dedicated to the game than others. It is not very easy to make possible to be consistent over there around 18 years in field of cricket, Around 50 crores of cricket lovers are in india now, only because of this great personality....

dilip on 2008-02-27 10:01:27 - pammi

akbar dad on 2008-02-03 06:43:14 - gilli is greater

gilcrist is the greatest player then dhoni :P :P :D and dhoni is :oops: :oops:

shenbagarajan on 2008-01-25 07:13:21 - Why he didnt sit out Sachin?

If he said sachin is not suitable means.. mumbaiand all other give support to sachin and they include.. Because now Indian team is not Indian team , this is Sachin team...

Sachin also aged 34, dravid aged 35. So like sourav and dravid why he didnt sit out sachin?

All are politics.. sachin knows sourav Played he will break our most centuries thatso he planned and done it thru dhoni.. They are really competators means they have to show in ground not my dada career. so dhoni is ugly.

Shenbagarajan on 2008-01-25 07:07:47 - What Dhoni Knows in Cricket?

He is not a stylish player. He dont know how to bat in the ground.So Dont compare this Guy With great Batsmen and Great wicketkeeper and Great man Gilchrist.

He is not a man, He forget allthings. He must know onething how to give respect to others. He won one worldcup means he is not the god for cricket.

Sourav is not, Dhoni is not in Indian team. Sourav only provide more chance, But now this guy saying sourav is not suitable to play in ODI so I am not play with sourav. So first ask him to be a man, then compare with others.

Dont compare this dhoni with others, he is not suitable for captain and not suitable for cricket....

Sourav is the Best in this world.
