Former India captain MS Dhoni [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ms-dhoni/] certainly knows how to be in the limelight always – be it for his on-field skills or his time away from the game.?Dhoni was brought into reference many times – like the chants of Dhoni when Rishabh Pant missed a stumping or his impact on Deepak Chahar [https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/7836/deepak-chahar] when he took a hat trick in the T20I game again Bangladesh. While everyone started speculating about his retirement from International Cricket, veteran Indian wicket-keeper batsman?MS Dhoni left everyone in surprise with his return?to the training after a long period. He had taken an indefinite break from the game since India?s defeat in the semi-final against New Zealand in England in the ICC World Cup earlier this year. Later he made himself unavailable owing to his to military duties and other personal reasons as well ? which has been constantly raising the questions of former captain?s retirement also.

While his return raised hopes in every one of a possible comeback, MS Dhoni has once again made himself unavailable for the upcoming limited-overs series against the West Indies next month at home. A BCCI official confirmed the news on Friday, November 15, ?He isn?t available for the West Indies series.? However, the unavailability of MS Dhoni for the upcoming three T20Is and as many ODIs against West Indies which will begin on December 6 in Mumbai, has put a question mark on his future again. MS Dhoni [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-20-17.jpeg]MS Dhoni Along with this, the fact is still not clear whether the stalwart of Indian cricket will play in the upcoming World T20 in 2020 or not, as the chief selector MSK Prasad has already said that they have moved on from the veteran wicket-keeper batsman. They are giving chances to youngsters a lot, especially Rishabh Pant who has become the first choice wicket-keeper in the absence of Dhoni. 

Former India captain MS Dhoni certainly knows how to be in the limelight always - be it for his on-field skills or his time away from the game.

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.
