Broom the Groom-ing Plan

Heard that MS Dhoni would be 'grooming' Pant till Pant settles down. 

What does that mean?

While all these are speculations, it suggests that Dhoni would be 'skipping' India's tour of West Indies. However, later he would be part of the team but would not be in playing XI!!! That way he would mentor Rishabh Pant. 

My take on this:

Teams did not need such mentoring when Bradman, Sachin, Lara, Sobers, Richards, Gavaskar, Dravid, Ponting, Warne, Gilchrist, Kumble, Akram etc retired. Are they suggesting that MS Dhoni is the greatest ever and his exit would create such a massive vacuum that Indian team would find it difficult to play unless they see MSD at least in the dressing room?!!? And what about the player would could have been in the squad but would not be there because one slot was reserved for MSD. Who would mentor/groom that player?

This is complete bull shit!!! He is past his prime and should make way for someone who can make it to the next WC. Period!!!
