MS Dhoni’s Future
The future of MS Dhoni has been a subject of constant debate ever since he took hiatus from international cricket. Many cricket experts have kept several opinions on the former India skipper. However, BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly has said that the question on Dhoni’s retirement is solely his decision and no one has the right to intervene in the process. He has also not counted out the possible return of MS Dhoni in the national team with the World T20 coming up in Australia later this year.
IPL 2020 thus becomes an important tournament for the former Indian skipper to put forward a case of his comeback. He also has an elusive feat to look forward to. Dhoni is eyeing his fourth IPL title with CSK and looking to join Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma, who also has four IPL titles to his name as skipper of MI.
