Kirmani played 88 Tests for India and scored 2759 runs with an unbeaten 102 as his highest. He has 160 catches and 38 stumpings to his credit in Test cricket. In 49 ODIs, he score 373 runs.
Former Indian cricketer Syed Kirmani congratulated the team by saying that this has been the most spectacular win for India when all the experienced players are injured and younger players have taken their places.
Since the return, Dhoni has failed to force the pace in chases and has so far managed just 112 runs from seven innings with unbeaten 47 being the highest.
Dhoni's rise through the domestic ranks was during the time when India were experimenting with options for the wicketkeeping spot.
Syed Kirmani has called for the exclusion of Rishabh Pant for the 2nd Test of the ongoing Test series against West Indies.
Kirmani said Virat Kohli's aggressive on-field behaviour is his natural instinct.
Kirmani's comments come in the wake of the controversy over the exclusion of Karun Nair and Murali Vijay from the Test squad.
Kirmani is also not happy that there is so much of discussion about Dhoni's consistency as a batsman of late.
The former Indian wicket-keeper also said Ashwin is the pride of Tamil Nadu and India and is also a role model for the present day youngsters.
