MS Dhoni has been a formidable force for Indian cricket and has given every thing to team India. I dont believe that some people questioned that MS Dhoni should’nt have been there for the World Cup, the thing about retirement is that it is better they say why are you then why dont you. Dhoni is the only person to know when the right time is because as a player you know. Shane Warne added.

MS Dhoni’s spate of bad performances in 2018, made many feel that Captain cool was nearing his end and it was time for him to hang his boots. But MS Dhoni came back very strong in 2019, letting his bat do the talking even as critics pointed at his poor form during 2018 campaign

At the begining of 2019, MS Dhoni played an instrumental role in India’s first bilateral ODI series win in Australia, where Dhoni smashed three successive half centuries.

Even when Australia beat india, MS Dhoni played a fantastic knock at and average of 42.50, Then he took his great form to the IPL, as he was the top run getter for the CSK, dispite missing few matches through injury MS Dhoni scored 416 runs in 15 matches at an average of 83.20 and a strike rate of 134.62.
