Experienced Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said that MS Dhoni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Dhoni] has already played his last game for India during the ICC World Cup 2019. He also added that the former captain will not play for India again. His comments came right after the BCCI dropped him from the annual central contracts list on Thursday (January 16). Dhoni did not play a single game for India after the 2019 World Cup semi-final loss to New Zealand on July 10. Moreover, the veteran off-spinner doesn’t see him returning to play international cricket again. HARBHAJAN SINGH ON MS DHONI Harbhajan said to India Today, “It is probably the end of the road for MS Dhoni. I heard the World Cup would be his last event for India – after that he won’t play for India again. He had made up his mind long back and that is why he has not made himself available.” However, he shared that Dhoni will do good in next IPL for CSK as he is a hard-working player. He further added that the former captain has made up his mind. He also commented that if he has a good show in the IPL, he will still make himself unavailable for the selection. MS Dhoni [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ms-dhoni-m1.jpg]MS Dhoni Meanwhile, the news agency PTI reported that a senior BCCI official had already informed Dhoni before finalizing the central contracts [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bcci-excludes-ms-dhoni-from-annual-contracts/]. A BCCI official said, “Let me clarify that one of the top-most BCCI office-bearers spoke to MS and told him about how they are going about in the central contracts. He was clearly told that since he hasn’t played any game in the said period (September 2019 till date), he cannot be included for the time being.” The flag-bearer for Indian cricket, as well as, the World Cup-winning captain, Dhoni was in Category A last season. As many as 27 players have received the contract list which is divided into four categories. Some new faces also received the contract, including Navdeep Saini, Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sunder and Deepak Chahar.

Profile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni represents the old guard in Indian cricket. He made his debut in the national side back in 2004 for the ODI team. A year later, MS Dhoni made his maiden Test appearance and finally, in 2006, he kicked off his T20 career.

The 37-year old has been a stalwart in the Indian team and he has brought a lot of success to the team. Back in 2014, he announced his retirement from Test cricket, but has continued to play in limited overs.

IPL Career

MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has stuck around the IPL since its inception. He joined the Chennai Super Kings for a fee of $1.5 million, making him the most expensive player at the time.

Since then, he has remained with the side until IPL 2015. In 2016 and 2017, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant after CSK were banned. But now, he is back in the yellow jersey and once again performing well.

During his tenure with CSK, MS Dhoni has lead the team to three IPL championships, including back-to-back wins. In essence, they are the first team to ever defend their title.

Even with Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni's troops were not to be trifled with and they were a force to be reckoned with. In fact, in 2017, Pune even reached the final, losing to eventual champions, Mumbai.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to IPL 2019, the Chennai Super Kings are on the hunt for their second back-to-back title win. If they do win, it will be their 4th ever and they will break the deadlock with the Mumbai Indians.

However, the competition will be tougher than ever. All the teams will be eager to put a stop to the CSK juggernaut. MS Dhoni is a capable leader and is no stranger to the winning mentality.

One thing that CSK is known for is, valuing experience over youth and they have opted for that same strategy in IPL 2019.

Shreyas Iyer Biography

Mumbai-born player Shreyas Iyer's IPL 2019 career kicks off with strong backing from the owners and team management, as he resumes the season as skipper of Delhi Capitals.

Shreyas Iyer is 25 years old as he gets into the season, with a bright career appearing in front of him. He also has adequate opportunities in IPL 2019 as the consistent number 3 batsman this year.

Since 2017, during which he made his debut for India in ODIs, T20Is and Test Matches, his career has been on the rise with some notable performances both at the international and domestic level

Shreyas Iyer’s 2019 IPL contract and salary stands at Rs 70 million, a significant rise from 2017, which is reflective of the promise he has shown over the years for his home franchise It is a sharp contrast to what he was paid in his early IPL career, which was Rs 26 million.

IPL Career

Shreyas Iyer's IPL debut came in 2015 for the Delhi Daredevils. He was roped into the side for a sum of 2.6 crores. That year, he became the most expensive uncapped player.

Since then, he has remained with the Delhi side in 2016 and 2017. Last year. he was ultimately rewarded with the Delhi captaincy and led the side to five wins that year. Though it was a disappointing campaign for Delhi, Iyer still still had the honour of being the youngest captain, at the age of 23 years and 142 days.

He proved that the notion did not get into his head, when he smashed an unbeaten century in the opening game.

Now, after the team has been renamed, Delhi Capitals, his services have been retained. Even better, he is leading the side once again, but will their fortunes be different this time around?

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-151671" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/post_image_dc1c64f.jpg" alt="Shreyas Iyer" width="936" height="526" />

Expectations for IPL 2019

This season, there are a lot of expectations riding on the Delhi. After so many years of poor results, fans and the team owners are hoping for a new dawn.

For the past few IPL seasons, Delhi have been up and down the order. For every success in 2008, 2009 and 2012, they undid all that effort in the remaining seasons. But will that change this year? With new recruit, Shikhar Dhawan on their side, Delhi will be even stronger.

In all, Iyer has made an appearance in 47 career matches in IPL. Regarding Shreyas Iyer's records, he has amassed 10 half centuries to his credit. Interestingly, Shreyas Iyer's ranking is unknown, owing to the limited number of international games played. However, in IPL, he has struck 54 sixes to his name, with 21 of them coming in 2015 and 2018. How Shreyas Iyer's IPL 2019 campaign will pan out, is anybody's guess.
